This one-day workshop (with a 1/2 day option), Go Positive, is designed to integrate Sam Glenn's attitude enhancement tools into every day leadership and management practices, while illustrating the core elements of engagement and how to promote a culture of engagement. The Go Positive Engagement Model: A passionately engaged workforce can be mastered by addressing the three stages to engagement development. There are three separate activities that must be engaged in an individual to build a sustainable attitude of engagement: Awareness Alignment Application Awareness Principles are needed to understand where motivation is harvested. Awareness of the "origins of thinking" patterns provides the foundation for a positive working framework. Possessing and practicing self-awareness is key to developing stronger engagement. Alignment of Priorities is needed to keep and maintain a healthy and proper workplace engagement. Life work balance will be examined at the level of individual, team, and role, to determine the optimal alignment that will ensure full engagement. Action Practices are the essential ingredients to move toward sustainable change. Workshop: Participants will be led through an analysis of their current workplace engagement levels, while targeting needs and learning about tools to aid in the development of new attitudes required for higher performance. The workshop will cover why attitudes control destiny, how to choose the perfect attitude for achieving life goals, and why attitudes are so easily compromised. It will also cover what engagement looks like, how to know when it is occurring, and how to make adjustments along the way in order to keep a team engaged long term. As organizations deal with issues of layoffs, mergers, transitions, and challenging market conditions, they need assurance that they have a passionately engaged workforce. They also need the skills to adjust their methods as their environment changes. This program provides a roadmap for getting leaders and their employees on the right track, and keeping them there.

Rogue states pursue weapons of mass destruction, support terrorism, violate human rights, engage in acts of territorial aggression, and pose a threat to the international community. Recent debates and policy shifts regarding Iraq, North Korea, Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan reflect the uneven attempts to contend with regimes that pursue deviant behavior. In this timely new work, Miroslav Nincic illuminates the complex issues and policy choices surrounding clashes between international society and states that challenge the majority's espoused interests and values. As conventional approaches to international relations lose their relevance in a changing world, Nincic's work provides new and necessary frameworks and perspectives. Nincic explores recent events and develops theoretical models of contemporary asymmetrical power relations among states to offer a systematic account of the genesis, trajectory, and motivations of renegade regimes. He discusses how the pursuit of policies that defy international norms is often motivated by a regime's desire for greater domestic control. From this starting point, Nincic considers states' deviant behavior through two stages: the first is the initial decision to defy key aspects of the international normative order, and the second is the manner in which subsequent behavior is shaped by the international community's responses. In addressing attempts to control pariah states, Nincic assesses the effectiveness of sanctions and military responses. He provocatively argues that comprehensive economic sanctions can lead to a restructuring of the renegade regime's ideology and economy that ultimately strengthens its grip on power. In his chapter on military intervention, Nincic argues that force or the threat of force against a rogue state frequently triggers a protective reflex among its citizens, inspiring them to rally around the government's goals and values. Military threats, Nincic concludes, produce several kinds of consequences and their impact needs to be better understood.
