Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From leadership expert Dr. Jim Loehr, strengthen your moral and ethical character for outstanding leadership results with this must-have set. Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy At the end of your life, how are you likely to be remembered? Chances are that people won’t be praising your money, power, and status. Instead, the people you’ve impacted will remember you for your compassion and personal strength—in short, your character. Unfortunately, many leaders are unaware of their character shortcomings and blind spots that hold so many of us back from building the lasting legacy we are capable of. With the right motivation, you can begin to strengthen your character and become a moral and ethical leader capable of creating lasting change. In Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy, Dr. Jim Loehr, cofounder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, reveals 50 character competencies that you can practice daily to transform your life and work. This book will also guide you through the process of developing a Personal Credo that will serve as your decision-making mission statement. Most leaders never take the time to identify their own core values, instead defaulting to a reflexive form of decision making. Gain an awareness of the conscious and unconscious processes that guide what you do and why you do it, and take charge of your leadership legacy. Even good leaders are vulnerable to corruption. Read Leading with Character to learn how human evolution and contemporary culture can lead us astray without our even knowing it. As we work hard to get to the top, who are we becoming along the way? If we want to become heroes whose memories will long outlast us, we need to channel our energy into creating habits that will add up to a strong and meaningful character. The Personal Credo Journal: A Companion to Leading with Character We all want to become high impact leaders with a robust ethical and moral character, but getting there is a challenge. Dr. Jim Loehr’s Leading with Character offers a succinct plan for developing your character as a leader and building a meaningful legacy through your life’s work. The Personal Credo Journal is a day-by-day workbook that will guide you through the process of identifying your core values and crafting your Personal Credo—a statement of beliefs and values that will help you align every action and decision with your deepest held ideals. With these activities and exercises, you’ll spend just a few minutes each day reflecting on meaningful and thought-provoking prompts about your life story, your personal strengths and weaknesses, and your life goals. By the end of this life-altering, 150-day challenge, you will have gained a deep self-knowledge and a clear vision of your path forward as a leader. Take charge of the legacy you’ll leave behind, build character, and learn to use your Personal Credo to transform your life.

Download or read book Look at Me written by Orville G Brim and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four million adults in the United States say that becoming famous is the most important goal in their lives. In any random sampling of one hundred American adults, two will have fame as their consuming desire. What motivates those who set fame as their priority, where did the desire come from, how does the pursuit of fame influence their lives, and how is it expressed? Based on the research of Orville Gilbert Brim, award-winning scholar in the field of child and human development, Look at Me! answers those questions. Look at Me! examines the desire to be famous in people of all ages, backgrounds, and social status and how succeeding or failing affects their lives and their personalities. It explores the implications of the pursuit of fame throughout a person's lifetime, covering the nature of the desire; fame, money, and power; the sources of fame; how people find a path to fame; the kinds of recognition sought; creating an audience; making fame last; and the resulting, often damaged, life of the fame-seeker. In our current age of celebrity fixation and reality television, Brim gives us a social-psychological perspective on the origins of this pervasive desire for fame and its effects on our lives. "Look at Me! is a fascinating in-depth study of society's obsession with fame. If you ever wondered what it's like to be famous, why fame comes to some and is sought by others, it's all here . . ." ---Jeffrey L. Bewkes, Chairman and CEO, Time Warner "In a voice filled with wisdom and insight, daring and self-reflection, Orville Brim masterfully traces the developmental origins and trajectory of fame. Look at Me! lets us see---with new eyes---the cultural priorities and obsessions that feed our individual hunger and appetites. A rare and rewarding book." ---Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Emily Hargroves Fisher Professor of Education at Harvard University and author of Respect and The Third Chapter Orville Gilbert Brim has had a long and distinguished career. He is the former director of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Midlife Development, former president of the Foundation for Child Development, former president of the Russell Sage Foundation, and author and coauthor of more than a dozen books about human development, intelligence, ambition, and personality.

Download or read book Chasing Carrots Navigating the Allure and Pressure of Societal Expectations written by Charles Nehme and published by Charles Nehme. This book was released on with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world driven by ambition, success, and the relentless pursuit of happiness, we often find ourselves feeling like donkeys chasing a carrot dangled in front of our noses. This metaphor captures the essence of our daily lives, as we strive to attain the promises and rewards that society lays before us. We become ensnared in a cycle of craving, forever reaching for that elusive carrot, hoping it will bring us fulfillment and contentment. This book, "Chasing Carrots: Navigating the Allure and Pressure of Societal Expectations," is an exploration of the myriad ways in which society shapes our desires, aspirations, and behaviors. It delves into the subtle and not-so-subtle forces that drive us to pursue certain goals, often at the expense of our authentic selves. We live in a world where consumerism, social media validation, and the fear of missing out have become ubiquitous. The pressure to conform to cultural norms, achieve ever-higher levels of education, and climb the corporate ladder can be overwhelming. We are bombarded with messages that tell us happiness lies in material possessions, external validation, and the constant pursuit of success. But is this really the path to fulfillment? Are we truly content when we're constantly striving for more, when we're forever chasing that next carrot, whether it's a promotion, a new gadget, or a fleeting moment of social media fame? In the pages that follow, we will embark on a journey to uncover the reasons why society exerts such a powerful influence over our lives. We will examine the subtle ways in which societal expectations shape our thoughts, decisions, and actions. Through stories, research, and reflection, we will seek to understand the impact of these forces on our well-being and sense of self. Chasing Carrots" is not a book that offers quick fixes or easy answers. Instead, it invites you to question the narratives that surround us and encourages you to find your own path to a more authentic and meaningful life. It is a call to awareness, a reminder that we have the power to choose our own values, desires, and aspirations. As we embark on this journey together, let us remember that the pursuit of happiness should not be reduced to a relentless chase after an ever-receding carrot. It should be a quest for a life that reflects our deepest values, fosters genuine connections, and nourishes our inner selves. May this book serve as a guide, a source of reflection, and a catalyst for change as we navigate the complexities of modern society and strive to live lives that are truly our own. With curiosity and compassion, Charles Nehme
