    Abstract: Teaching employees how to deliver effective performance appraisals will pay big dividends in your organization.

Here's a terrific resource full of hands-on exercises that will make training in this vital area enjoyable and extremely motivating. Every employee – regardless of how experienced they are in appraisals – will be stimulated by learning how to question, listen, be objective, give feedback, communicate and manage the process. Each activity is ready-to-use and includes a description, when to use it, objectives, materials and time required, and methods. Each activity takes under 60 minutes or so to complete. Need to find a specific activity quickly? No problem. The activities are categorized into two groups – the skills and the process – so they are easy to select. All handouts are numbered using the same number as the activity. And some you'll want to make into transparencies for use with an overhead projector. Whether you're a new or experienced trainer, you'll find all the support you need to lead the activities, adapt them to your own training style and give performance appraisal training the priority it deserves.

Each strategy comes with an activity that clears up any question about how the strategy should be implemented.

    Abstract: Thinking clearly is a skill in great demand and the ticket to higher-level jobs. Now you have a user-friendly manual that will help you model the behavior and teach your employees to think clearly – a profound gift that they can use in all aspects of their lives. Front Line Guide to Thinking Clearly is one of the few books to introduce the concept of clear thinking in a way people can understand and do it. The book focuses on thinking clearly along with solving problems and making decisions – three competencies identified in a massive research effort as skills that equip managers for success in an increasingly complex business environment.

In eight chapters, author Woodrow Sears will familiarize you with some of the research and tools associated with thinking clearly as he describes the simple steps to get there. The book also explores a variety of other fresh topics including brain-blockers to watch out for, mind maps, intellectual skill building, talking tough to get courageous decisions, the power of apology and more.

    Abstract: Not long ago the Raw format was limited to high-end digital SLR cameras–which meant you pretty much had to be a professional (or at least quite serious) photographer to take advantage of it. Not so today. Now that Raw is included on even the simplest point-and-shoot cameras, shutterbugs of all stripes can start taking advantage of its greater editing flexibility to produce better final images. This guide is the place to start. In these pages, veteran author Ben Long begins at the beginning, explaining exactly what Raw is and why photographers should use it. He then describes the theory, shooting, and image editing practices needed to work with Raw files. Ben also provides an overview of software used to convert raw files and a thorough explanation of how to use Photoshop Elements to edit Raw images. Some cool Camera Raw tricks, tips for shooting for Raw format, and a glossary of important terms round out the offering.

    Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS2 : Industrial-Strength Production Techniques (2005)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : Peachpit Press | Boston, MA : Safari

    Language: English
    Pages: 1 online resource (336 pages)

    Abstract: Call it a control thing, but until recently–or, more specifically, until the availability of digital raw camera formats–you simply weren’t ready to make the move to digital photography. Raw formats, however, changed all of that by allowing you to retrieve images before any in-camera processing has been performed. Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw plug-in makes that process even easier by providing a standardized way of accessing and working with these uncompressed digital negatives in your favorite image-manipulation software. In the first volume devoted exclusively to the topic, best-selling author Bruce Fraser shows you how to take advantage of Adobe Camera Raw to set white balance, optimize contrast and saturation, handle noise, correct tint, and recover lost detail in images before converting them to another format. After learning about the raw formats themselves, you’ll discover hands-on techniques for exposing and shooting for digital raw, using Bridge, Adobe’s new standalone file browser, to preview images and automate tasks, and building a workflow around the digital raw process.
