Strategic Planning for Species Conservation collaborative efforts more effective, efficient, and even enjoyable. • Westley, F., Zimmerman, B., and Patton, M. 2007. Getting To Maybe: How the World Is Changed. Vintage Canada, Toronto, Canada. A practical guide to social innovation. By studying fascinating real-life examples of social change through this systems-and-relationships lens, the authors of Getting to Maybe tease out the rules of engagement between volunteers, leaders, organizations and circumstances – to lay out a brand new way of thinking about making change in communities, in business, and in the world (description edited from the Hardcover edition). • Bolton, R. 1986. People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts. Touchstone, New York, USA. Author Robert Bolton describes the twelve most common communication barriers, showing how these "roadblocks" damage relationships by increasing defensiveness, aggressiveness, or dependency. People Skills is a communication-skills handbook that can help you eliminate these and other communication problems. He explains how to acquire the ability to listen, assert yourself, resolve conflicts, and work out problems with others. These are skills that will help you communicate calmly, even in stressful emotionally charged situations. (product description from Amazon.com) • Bolton, R. and Grover Bolton, D. 1996. People Styles at Work: Making Bad Relationships Good and Good Relationships Better. AMACOM, New York, USA. A sequel to Social Style, Management Style, this book presents a comprehensive behavioral science model for understanding four different "people styles." The authors explain how readers can: identify their own styles and how they appear to others; relate effectively – no matter how others react to them; create common ground with different people while retaining their own individuality; evaluate the "people styles” of others and discover how to "flex" their styles to match. Readers will learn the characteristic strengths and weaknesses of each style – driver, analytical, amiable, and expressive – and how these characteristics can create stress in the other behavior types. They’ll discover how to minimize these stresses by getting "in synch" with the style-based behavior patterns of others" (from the product description at Amazon.com). • Jones, M.D. 1995. The Thinker’s Toolkit: Fourteen skills for making smarter decisions in business and life. Random House, New York, USA. The book explains in simple language a number of methods for making decisions, including Causal Flow Diagramming, use of Matrix grids for describing and understanding options, Decision Trees, Weighted Ranking for setting priorities, and the use of Probability Trees for evaluating uncertainty. 103
104 Additional resources Examples of species-focused conservation strategies and action plans that contain elements of content and processes recommended for SCS development Most of the IUCN/SSC Species Action Plans were produced before the SCPTF began developing the framework described in this Handbook. We are providing links to them because they contain some features of the SCS approach we describe and are good examples of some components of the SCS planning process. Indeed, the methods used and lessons learned in these earlier planning processes often helped to inform the development of the process and writing of this Handbook by the SCPTF. IUCN/SSC Species Action Plans are available for download at this website: http:// cms.iucn.org/about/work/programmes/species/resources/publications/ species_actions_plans/index.cfm (accessed 11 September 2008). In the text of this Handbook we have provided web links to some recently prepared species conservation strategies that have either wholly or to a large extent followed the participatory approach we have outlined here. These are provided again below for the reader’s convenience: • IUCN/SSC. In press. Regional Conservation Strategy for the Cheetah and African Wild Dog in Eastern Africa. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland (http://intranet.iucn.org/ webfiles/doc/SSC/SCS/Ch2_Strategy_cheetwd.pdf). • IUCN/SSC. In review. Regional Conservation Strategy for Wild Cattle and Buffaloes in Southeast Asia. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland (http://intranet.iucn.org/webfiles/doc/ SSC/SCS/Strategy_AWCB.pdf). • KWS. In press. Conservation Strategy for the Cheetah and African Wild Dog in Kenya. Kenya Wildlife Service, Nairobi.
