What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work livesconsistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful workprogressthat creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalystsevents that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomyand (2) nourishersinterpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

What motivates employees? As a manager, you need to know why people come to work every day, what makes them stay ― and what drives them to perform at their best.  According to Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, the best leaders are able to build a cadre of employees who have satisfying inner work lives: consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. To do this, you must create forward momentum in meaningful work ― and steer clear of the obstacles that undermine inner work life.   Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by hundreds of employees in several different organizations, Amabile and Kramer explain how you can foster progress and enhance your people’s inner work life every day ― in the process boosting long-term creative productivity. The book shows how you can remove common barriers to progress, such as meaningless tasks and toxic relationships, and emphasizes how these factors can disrupt employees’ inner work lives.    The Progress Principle also explains how you can activate two forces that enable progress: “catalysts” ― events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy; and “nourishers” ― interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality.    Filled with honest, real-life examples, compelling insights, and practical advice, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the guidance they need to maximize people’s performance.

Distilled here is the experience, expertise, and, most of all, the knowledge of what students need to complete successful study in undergraduate audiology and speech-language pathology courses, or to gain a grounding in the subject when embarking on an AuD program. Steven Kramer has taught an introduction to audiology course for 20 years, and has truly designed this text with students in mind, providing a balanced coverage of the subject that is consistent with the material neccessary for an introductory course. His book presents a comprehensive and challenging coverage of hearing science and clinical audiology, written in a style that makes new and difficult concepts easy to understand.

The workbook has activities and questions designed related to concepts and procedures traditionally covered in introductory hearing science and clinical audiology courses. This workbook is designed for undergraduate students in speech and hearing and students beginning graduate studies in audiology. The workbook includes activities such as drawing labeling diagrams, drawing waveforms, calculating frequencies/periods, amplitudes, and phases, interpreting audiograms, speech tests, tympanograms, acoustic reflexes, and auditory brainstem responses. There are also questions to reinforce knowledge about hearing disorders, as well as basic understanding of hearing aids and their fittings.

Audiology Workbook

Guthrie, Lesli

Audiology: Science to Practice, Second Edition is a textbook for undergraduate students in audiology and speech-language pathology and for graduate students beginning an AuD program who may not have a previous background in the subject. It is designed to cover the content of both two-course sequences (Hearing Science and Principles of Audiology) as well as combined courses - providing a level of consistency in presentation. Chapters cover hearing science, diagnostic procedures, an introduction to hearing aids, and extensive coverage of anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems. The author has taught an Introduction to Audiology course for more than 20 years, and has truly designed this text with the student in mind.NEW TO THIS EDITION The second edition has been updated and reorganized, and also includes two brand new chapters, one on clinical-pure tone masking and another on hearing screening. Additional details and figures have been added on vestibular anatomy and physiology, acoustic resonance, speech acoustics, middle ear wide-band power (MEWP) measures of the middle ear, and masking for speech testing. In addition, James Jerger has revised his contributed chapter on the historical pathways in audiology, including the addition of an educational audiology path, thanks to the contribution of Cheryl DeConde Johnson. Gus Mueller and Earl Johnson have also revised their chapter on hearing aids to reflect the many updates that have taken place with amplification options over the past five years.
KEY FEATURES * Difficult concepts are well supported by figures and tables. *Each chapter includes a list of key objectives, and key words and phrases are italicized throughout and included in a Glossary. * Each chapter is prefaced by a list of learner outcomes and punctuated by summaries (synopses) which can be found on the easily identifiable grey pages. * At the end of each chapter there is a supplemental topic that can be used for expanded applications. * Includes references to the most current guidelines from the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). * Audiograms and calibration values are based on the newest standards set by the American National Standards Institute.
 A companion student workbook, Audiology Workbook is also available and sold separately.

He obtained his master's and doctoral degrees in audiology and hearing science from the University of Florida. He was a licensed and certified audiologist for about 40 years. Before his appointment at SDSU, he was a clinical faculty member at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. He has taught a wide array of courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, including hearing science, diagnostics, medical audiology, evoked potentials, and psychoacoustics.David K. Brown, PhD, has been Professor in the School of Audiology at Pacific University since it enrolled its first students in 2012.
