Wisdom and Intelligence are not the same thing, and a lack of either one can wreak havoc within a professional's career. While universities and training programs give quite a bit of knowledge to professionals to increase their intellectual capacity, too much of that knowledge is merely theoretical in nature, making it difficult to be effective when faced with real-world situations in the workplace. This then is where wisdom comes into play, helping to balance things out. However, wisdom is severely lacking within the workplace these days, causing significant stress and problems for many professionals today, regardless of industry. So, how does a person get more wisdom and understanding about the reality of the workplace, and more importantly, the strategies and skills needed to deal with it all? Well, normally that would come from being mentored by the right people. However, in most cases a professional will find that quality mentors are in very short supply. That is where this book can help. Revelations Incorporated contains years of accumulated insight and practical application of techniques for the modern professional. No matter if you are a university student, a professional with a multi-year career, or just starting out in the workplace, there is plenty for everyone at every level across every industry. Some of the topics covered include... -How Business really works -How Management Thinks -Workplace Bullying -Being your Own Advocate -Tricks Companies Play on their Workforce And much more! Take charge of your career today, and learn the insights that aren't taught in the classroom.

With a new and comprehensive account of the South African Constitutional Court's social rights decisions, Brian Ray argues that the Court's procedural enforcement approach has had significant but underappreciated effects on law and policy, and challenges the view that a stronger substantive standard of review is necessary to realize these rights. Drawing connections between the Court's widely acclaimed early decisions and the more recent second-wave cases, Ray explains that the Court has responded to the democratic legitimacy and institutional competence concerns that consistently constrain it by developing doctrines and remedial techniques that enable activists, civil society and local communities to press directly for rights-protective policies through structured, court-managed engagement processes. Engaging with Social Rights shows how those tools could be developed to make state institutions responsive to the needs of poor communities by giving those communities and their advocates consistent access to policy-making and planning processes.
