Leadership Series
2012-13 Reading Circle
Julie Clow's The Work Revolution: Freedom and Excellence for All
Facilitator: Paul Terrio
Schedule: Tuesdays 8:30-10 a.m.
(October 2, November 6, December 4, January 8, February 5, March 5, April 2)
Location: Augsburg Room Christensen Center
Embrace connectivity, increase empowerment, and achieve better work-life blending.
We live in a new age of global organizations, hyper-access to information, and accessibility to tools that enable us to bring any idea life. Strangely, our workplaces are lagging behind the promise of this open and collaborative world. Most organizations are rule-based, top-down, dreary environments optimized for conformity and little else. The Work Revolution creates a compelling portrait of a different kind of work.
"I believe freedom in the workplace is worth fighting for and every person and every organization can be excellent."
Julie Clow articulates the rules we follow today in our work force, the reasons they no longer work, and what we can do instead. The Work Revolution deconstructs the magic behind thriving, liberated organizations (such as Google, which is repeatedly named as the Best Workplace) into clear principles that any individual, leader, and organization can adopt to create sustainable and engaging lives.
Provides actionable changes anyone can make, regardless of where they work, to create a more sustainable work-life blend
Details concrete ways to influence existing organizations to change
Guides leaders to make tangible changes in their teams to enable greater autonomy and impact
Outlines organizational culture principles that support and nurture high-performance and healthy environments, providing clear options for instituting cultural change based on specific organizational challenges
Rejecting productivity Band-Aids and quick fixes, The Work Revolution conceptualizes a completely new workplace that embraces the always-connected reality to create organizations in which high achievers can sustainably thrive.
All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff. You are expected to attend at least four sessions and prepare by reading and identifying issues you'd like to discuss. If you'd like to attend, please register with Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu) and pick up a book. Let her know if you prefer to receive an e-book.
CTL Night at the Theater
During both fall and spring semesters, CTL reserves tickets to an Augsburg theater production and offers them to faculty, staff, and their significant others. Theater offers a unique way of learning or knowing from stories that touch our hearts and mind. Experiencing it together adds a social dimension that allows us to discover what the stories mean to others and what new possibilities they see. Through theater we can be healed and transformed, as well as entertained. All productions are in the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater.
Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to attend either or both of these productions, please contact Sarah Hedstrom (hedstrom@augsburg.edu). This year, we have reserved tickets for:
Debt
Developed by Sarah Myers
Site Specific Performances: October 25-November 2
Town Hall Meetings: November 1
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center
What does debt mean to you?
Debt isn't a conventional theater productionit's not a production at all, in fact. The students who are chosen to be part of this project will lead a series of four town hall meetings about student debt using participatory, popular theatre techniques. Think of it as an interactive four-day forum. Leading up to this forum, there will also be a week of short performances, projects, and events throughout the Augsburg campus designed to generate conversation about student debt and encourage students, staff, and faculty to attend the town hall meetings.
As a Town Hall Nation project, Debt is part of a national engagement initiative inviting arts organizations, colleges, and other community groups to create events that demonstrate, present, or embody an ideal town hall meeting.

Community Building Series
2012-13 Reading Circle
Andrew Delbanco's College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be
Facilitator: Doug Green
Schedule: Tuesdays 3:30-5 p.m.
(September 25, October 16, November 20, February 19, March 26, April 16)
Location: Lindell 301
As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the narrow aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. The traditional four-year college experience--an exploratory time for students to discover their passions and test ideas and values with the help of teachers and peers--is in danger of becoming a thing of the past.
In College, prominent cultural critic Andrew Delbanco offers a trenchant defense of such an education, and warns that it is becoming a privilege reserved for the relatively rich. In arguing for what a true college education should be, he demonstrates why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.
In a brisk and vivid historical narrative, Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth century in the shadow of the new research universities, and how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors to women, minorities, and students from low-income families. He describes the unique strengths of America's colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing the growing centrality of science, technology, and vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. Acknowledging the serious financial, intellectual, and ethical challenges that all colleges face today, Delbanco considers what is at stake in the urgent effort to protect these venerable institutions for future generations.
All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff.

Leadership Series for Chairs
2012-13 Reading Circle
Don Chu's The Department Chair's Primer: What Chairs Need to Know and Do to Make a Difference
Facilitators: Joan Kunz and Merilee Klemp
Schedule: Thursdays 3:40-5 p.m. (Dates TBD)
The Department Chair Primer provides the practical information that chairs need to do their jobs well. Many of the book's ideas come from practicing chairs and are proven strategies for dealing with a variety of issues. Each chapter details a particular problem, includes a brief introduction to the topic, provides tips on how to deal with the situation, and concludes with targeted questions for further consideration. Its concise format is ideal for busy chairs which need a brief but informative resource.
The readings will serve as a catalyst for conversations among chairs about how to be more effective.
Inclusiveness Series
2012-13 Reading Circle
Susan E. Pick and Jenna Sirkin's Breaking the Poverty Cycle: The Human Basis for Sustainable Development
Facilitators: Matt Maruggi and Joe Underhill
Schedule: 12:00-1:30 p.m.Wednesdays
October 10 - Marshall Room
November 7 - Riverside Room
December 5 - Riverside Room
January 23 - Riverside Room
Batalden Convocation, February 20 at 10 a.m.
Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. IMIFAP was founded in 1984. Through its health promotion and poverty reduction work it has reached over 19 million people in 14 countries. Its mission is to enable society's poor and vulnerable to take charge of their lives through helping them develop their potential. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms.
The central premise of the book is that enhancing skills, knowledge and reducing psychological and contextual barriers to change are central (and often neglected) aspects of sustainable development.. Through powerful testimonies, the book shows how the IMIFAP "I want to, I can" programs assists people in taking the control of their lives. Our discussion will examine how this approach can apply to our work at Augsburg.
Susan Pick, a professor of psychology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, will give the Batalden Symposium in Applied Ethics on February 20.
All faculty and staff are invited to participate in reading circles during the year. These circles are funded by Work Culture grants and led by faculty and staff.

Community Building Series
2012-13 Reading Circle
Seth Godin's Linchpin: An Unsettling Call to Be Indispensable
Facilitator: Ashok Kapoor
Schedule: Thursdays, 3:30-5 p.m.
(September 20, October 18, November 15, February 7, and March 14)
Location: Augsburg Room-Christensen Center
First Reading: Chapters 1-4
In our society linchpins are those individuals that hold things together. Yes, organizations might succeed or thrive for a while without them, but eventually as pressure is applied and structures are tested, things will fall apart. Godin clearly illustrates that we are in a critical time in history when a new breed of worker and leader are required. We need linchpins to solve our problems, keep us connected, and inspire us with art. People who are linchpins are creative, good at connecting with others, and able to see solutions like no one else. They truly are indispensable.
As Seth Godin explains this concept to his readers, he turns their minds upside down in order to convince them that they are in some way capable of being one. He explains how we got here, criticizing the public education system for creating cogs to fill factories and consumers to buy what they produce. He argues that we get exactly what we focus on. In the end we wind-up with drones that do what they are told.
There is no shortage of pundits today that criticize the flaws of our education system, but few will offer a solution. He challenges teachers to inspire student to think instead of follow rulebooks and ace tests. He even goes as far as telling us to give ourselves a D for the rut we have fallen into.
Linchpin could be Mr. Godin's greatest work so far. He treats the subject with history and sociology as well as a compelling mix of fact, story and philosophy. Using examples that will both shock and inspire, Linchpin leaves you feeling like you have no choice but to reassess your current situation and make the changes he so eloquently urges us toward.

Social Work Majors and Interested Others Event
Have you considered becoming a social worker?
Come to Lindell (Library) 301 on Thursday, Sept. 20, at 5:30 p.m. and learn about the social work major. Eat Pizza, meet other majors, and visit with faculty and staff.
What Social Workers Do
There are two main types of social workers: direct-service social workers, who help people solve and cope with problems in their everyday lives, and clinical social workers, who diagnose and treat mental, behavioral, and emotional issues.
Work Environment
Social workers work in a variety of settings, including mental health clinics, schools, hospitals, and private practices. They generally work full time and may need to work evenings and weekends.
How to Become a Social Worker
A bachelor's degree is required for most direct-service social work positions, but some positions and settings require a master's degree. Augsburg College offers both degrees.
The median annual wage of social workers was $42,480 in May 2010.
Job Outlook
Employment of social workers is expected to grow by 25 percent from now to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will be due to an increase in demand for health care and social services but will vary by specialty.
Come and learn more about this fascinating profession and meet the other majors, faculty, and staff. Food is provided.
