Download or read book Leaders Losers and Lessons written by Jim Maher and published by Tate Publishing & Enterprises. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success is generated from within with a deeper, more fulfilling emotional fulfillment than financial gain can ever reach. Those companies and organizations that identify potential leaders based on their performance and qualities, then groom them for more challenging and rewarding positions are preparing their companies/organizations for the future. A true leader, regardless of his position or rank in a business or organization, inspires people to do what the leader defines for them to do. Leadership starts on the front lines and in any areas that require a group of people to work together. The most effective supervisor is a leader, one who builds confidence and trust with his people. If two people agree on everything, then one of them is compromising what he or she really believes. One person can't always be wrong and another right. How do we balance this need for honesty with the tendency to withhold? We all do it on some level every day, whether it's at work or at home. All of the above topics are discussed at length, providing insight and learning opportunities.

Download or read book Deep Seeded Secrets written by Marvela Dawnay and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was just putting my life back together when my daughter, LaKina, disclosed the ‘deep seeded secrets’ that she’d kept from me. She was in dire need of my help. We joined forces, and within a matter of time, we found ourselves up against multiple manipulating, devilish snakes with ‘deep seeded secrets.’ The manipulating, devilish snakes utilized corruption, lies, money, power, and endless connections to cover up abuse and criminal activity for a family and many others. They were out to destroy our family by using fear, threats, manipulation, and alienation to hide their criminal activity and abuse to children. I wasn’t only dealing with LaKina’s situation. My father, Donald, was in a troubled marriage. Later, we saw that his wife was a corrupt person with ‘deep seeded secrets’ who lied, and was capable of murder. Everywhere I turned there were ‘deep seeded secrets,’ corruption, and lies. I remained determined to find out what they were regardless of the risks and pushbacks that I’d encountered. This is a heart-wrenching story that will leave you shocked, traumatized, and in disbelief because of the parties involved. I highly recommend that you and your loved ones read my series, so that you can identify the traits and patterns of these individuals, and never enter into their world.

Download or read book Taoist Lessons for Educational Leaders written by Daniel Heller and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ways in which educational leaders can apply the wisdom of the Tao in their day-to-day work in schools. It offers an alternative to the standard ways of western thinking to give the leader more possibilities when confronting a situation. We tend to value immediate and decisive action, winning, directing, and getting one's way. Taoist Lessons for Educational Leaders offers another way of approaching the workplace. We can also value waiting and reflection before acting, seeing all participants as winners or at least no one as a loser, following as a form of leadership, and giving away some victories, as beneficial to the governance of a school. There is more than one way to "win" and more than one way assert one's authority, as illustrated by this book.
