Download or read book Are We Winning written by Will Leitch and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hilarious tribute to baseball and to the fathers and sons who share the love of the game. Are We Winning? is built around a trip to Wrigley Field to watch the St. Louis Cardinals play the Chicago Cubs--the "lovable losers" to most fans but the hated enemy to the Leitch men. Along for the ride are both Will's father, the gregarious but not-exactly demonstrative Midwestern titan who, despite being a die-hard Cards fan and living his whole life just 200 miles south of Chicago, had never been to Wrigley Field before this game, and Will's college friend, a lifelong Cubs fan. The Cardinals have recently fallen out of the pennant race, and the Cubs, as it turns out, are attempting to clinch the division on this Saturday afternoon in September. The pitchers are Ted Lilly for the Cubs and Joel Pineiro for the Cardinals. It's just a regular game. Play ball. The book unfolds in half-inning increments where Will gives one-of-a-kind insight on the past, present, and future of the game--from Pujols' unrivaled greatness to the myth that steroids have ruined baseball. Along the way, he shares memories of his father and growing up in the small town of Mattoon, including the year his dad coached his Little League team and nicknamed a scrawny kid "Bulldog," and an unlikely postgame episode involving a biker bar and Mr. Holland's Opus. And there is beer. Lots and lots of beer. Are We Winning? is a book about the indelible bond that links fathers and sons. For the Leitch men it's baseball that holds them together--not that either of them would ever be so weak as to admit it. No matter how far apart they are or what's going on in their lives, they'll always be able to talk about baseball. It's the story of being a fan, a story about fathers, sons, and legacies. And one perfect game.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are We Winning or Are We Losing? By: Rev. Ernest Gillespie III Born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1954, the same year as the Brown v. Board of Ed decision, Rev. Ernest Gillespie III has witnessed its unintentionally disastrous effects firsthand. In Are We Winning or Are We Losing? he asks whether or not desegregation was really a win: with it came the busing programs that destroyed Black communities and helped shepherd the Black youth away from the church. “The worst thing that can destroy a nation of people is when the people forget the past and how important the past was for them,” Rev. Gillespie writes. This book looks at that past and wonders: Are We Winning or Are We Losing?

Book excerpt: A lifetime of activist experience from a civil rights legend informs this playbook for building and conducting nonviolent direct action campaigns In an era of massive worldwide protests for racial and economic justice, it is important to remember that marching is only one way to take to the streets. Protest must be supplemented with the sustained direct action campaigns that are crucial to winning major reforms. Beginning as a trainer in the civil rights movement of the 1960s, George Lakey has spent decades helping direct action tactics flourish and succeed on the front lines of social change. Now, in this timely and down-to-earth guide, he passes the torch to a new generation of activists. Lakey looks to successful campaigns across the world to help us see what has worked, what hasn’t, and why: from choosing the right target to designing a creative campaign; from avoiding burnout within your group to building a movement of movements to achieve real progressive victories. Drawing on the experiences of a diverse set of ambitious change-makers, How We Win shows us the way to justice, peace, and a sustainable economy. This is what democracy looks like.

Book excerpt: Your manuscript is not only interesting and well written, the questions for review and discussion make it an excellent study guide for individuals, small groups, or even a Bible College class. -Dr. David New Bible College Professor The Word of God is holy, inspired, infallible, and inerrant. God desires that His word concerning the end times will be understood. In We Win, Reverend Barry Brinson shares a down-to-earth, literal interpretation of the book of Revelation that includes commentary on Gods plan to bring an end to a world of sin and evil and how He intends to recreate a new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells. Reverend Brinson is a devout Christian who loves to discover the truth of Gods Word. While sharing a thoughtful, yet simple interpretation of the book of Revelation, Brinson helps spiritual seekers understand Gods Word as the simple truth, clarifying the message behind this important Scripture. Brinson carefully examines the four visions of Revelation which; evaluate the church relative to its worthiness in the Kingdom of God, describe the events that take place before God creates a new heaven and new earth, show the rise and fall of Babylon, and reveal the glorious future to be realized in the new heaven and new earth. We Win seeks to help anyone interested in better understanding the book of Revelation and its significant message that God does indeed have a grand and glorious plan for the future where, in the end, we win!

Book excerpt: Sigi Strammsack was in sheer heaven being given this assignment as he approached his seventieth birthday. He had married Mariandl Meinhofer a year earlier and they remained in Birkenried from which Strammsack developed his program to further youth soccer development in Germany. The men in charge of the DFB did not like it and made several attempts to persuade Fischer and Strammsack to bring this program under the DFB umbrella. But this did not happen and since the invitations to the Fischer Foundation training facilities in Birkenried were not mandatory to attend, it was perfectly legitimate and it was Strammsack’s well-known reputation that brought young talented players to their program.

Download or read book Winning on Purpose written by Fred Reichheld and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great leaders embrace a higher purpose to win. The Net Promoter System shines as their guiding star. Few management ideas have spread so far and wide as the Net Promoter System (NPS). Since its conception almost two decades ago by customer loyalty guru Fred Reichheld, thousands of companies around the world have adopted it—from industrial titans such as Mercedes-Benz and Cummins to tech giants like Apple and Amazon to digital innovators such as Warby Parker and Peloton. Now, Reichheld has raised the bar yet again. In Winning on Purpose, he demonstrates that the primary purpose of a business should be to enrich the lives of its customers. Why? Because when customers feel this love, they come back for more and bring their friends—generating good profits. This is NPS 3.0 and it puts a new take on the age-old Golden Rule—treat customers the way you would want a loved one treated—at the heart of enduring business success. As the compelling examples in this book illustrate, companies with superior NPS consistently deliver higher returns to shareholders across a wide array of industries. But winning on purpose isn't easy. Reichheld also explains why many NPS practitioners achieve just a small fraction of the system's full potential, and he presents the newest thinking and best practices for doing NPS right. He unveils the Earned Growth Rate (EGR): the first reliable, complementary accounting measure that can truly leverage the power of NPS. With keen insight and moving personal stories, Reichheld advances the thinking and practice of NPS. Winning on Purpose is your indispensable guide for inspiring customer love within your own teams and using Net Promoter to achieve both personal and business success.

Download or read book Team CARE together we win written by Marco Laganà and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is for: Anyone working in a team, who wants to make it work. Anyone struggling in a team but who wants to make a contribution and give meaning to their daily work routine: particularly the leaders and the coaches, but also those working in human resources. Anyone who believes that a team's human capital is worth much more than the sum of the individuals in it (and their 'cost') - as long as the team functions well. How do we make the team function well? We have to care about it, and take care of it. People are not talents per se, but every person has talents, skills they can utilise to help others. It is up to us to discover, to inspire, to give them the right role and enhance their place in the team, because together we win. If you have a problem at work, you do not need to change the individuals in the team. You need to change the way you see, engage, manage and value them. If you have weaknesses, you can try to work on them but sometimes it is better to leverage on others' strengths and work together. If you are a striker, instead of being forced to play as a goalkeeper, you should play with a goalkeeper!
Download or read book How We Can Win written by Kimberly Jones and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the SABEW Best in Business Book Awards Winner of the 2022 AAMBC Literary Award for Non-Fiction/Self Help Book of the Year A breakdown of the economic and social injustices facing Black people and other marginalized citizens inspired by political activist Kimberly Jones' viral video, “How Can We Win.” “So if I played four hundred rounds of Monopoly with you and I had to play and give you every dime that I made, and then for fifty years, every time that I played, if you didn't like what I did, you got to burn it like they did in Tulsa and like they did in Rosewood, how can you win? How can you win?" When Kimberly Jones declared these words amid the protests spurred by the murder of George Floyd, she gave a history lesson that in just over six minutes captured the economic struggles of Black people in America. Within days the video had been viewed by millions of people around the world, riveted by Jones’s damning—and stunningly succinct—analysis of the enduring disparities Black Americans face. In How We Can Win, Jones delves into the impacts of systemic racism and reveals how her formative years in Chicago gave birth to a lifelong devotion to justice. Here, in a vital expansion of her declaration, she calls for Reconstruction 2.0, a multilayered plan to reclaim economic and social restitutions—those restitutions promised with emancipation but blocked, again and again, for more than 150 years. And, most of all, Jones delivers strategies for how we can effect change as citizens and allies while nurturing ourselves—the most valuable asset we have—in the fight against a system that is still rigged.
Download or read book How We Win the Civil War written by Steve Phillips and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling author pulls no punches on what America needs to defeat white supremacy National political commentator Steve Phillips’s “politically charged and thoughtfully reasoned” (Kirkus Reviews) How We Win the Civil War helped chart the way forward for progressives and people of color, arguing that Democrats must recognize the nature of the fight we’re in, which is a contest between democracy and white supremacy left unresolved after the Civil War. Combining a powerful grasp of history with Phillips’s trademark, no-nonsense political critique, this “spirited and persuasive . . . rousing call for change” (Publishers Weekly) argues that we will not overcome until we govern as though we are under attack—until we finally recognize that the time has come to finish the conquest of the Confederacy and all that it represents. With a new preface laying out what is at stake in the 2024 general election, Phillips delivers razor-sharp prescriptions for the new political season, including specific guidance for politicians, policymakers, and ordinary citizens alike. “A foundational contribution to the emerging field of multiracial democracy” (Spencer Overton), How We Win the Civil War is the essential political book for 2024 and beyond—showing us how to rid our politics of white supremacy, once and for all.

The wonderful thing about the All Blacks is the tradition of its history, the belief by players in what happened before. Winning was something that was an absolute focus.' —John Hart 'Leadership is within the team. I had a role as a fixer, if there was trouble going on – not a dirty role, but as the one able to talk to the opposition and tell them, 'I wouldn't do that again, if I were you.''' —Colin Meads 'Winning becomes a habit, because success is fantastic, but when you take those platitudes you've also got to learn how to lose, lose well and graciously, and learn from your losses.' —Wayne 'Buck' Shelford 'It was about working out who you played the game for . . . it's not the name of the team or the colour of the jersey, but the people around you.' —Andy Haden Also available as an eBook

Book excerpt: We Win is a set of stories to encourage people that we always win. We can decree Gods Word to establish things in our lives. We can pray and win in marriage, parenting, and in all relationships. We win in the darkest hour when we dont give up on God. Many of us know of Gods faithfulness; yet many of us are not patient enough to reciprocate faithfulness to him. The last day, also known as the end of time, will be a crucial time for believers. No matter what comes or goes, we must know that We Win. We are told many times in the Bible that we overcome. We win in big or small situations, because if God be for us, who can be [successful] against us? We are told that no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
