Download or read book Leading Imperfectly written by James T. Robilotta and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a problem in today's developing leaders-they think they need to be someone they are not to get what they want. In short, none of us is perfect, and when we pretend to be, people quit listening to us. Instead, we need to focus on trying to connect with others. Leading Imperfectly is full of examples for how to make those connections. The book is divided into a series of short, often humorous, and always insightful essays filled with real-life stories from James' own life. The through line for the book is the significance of practicing authentic leadership. The essays discuss topics such as realizing our story has value, the importance of love in leadership, how to prevent over-committing because you can't be everything to everyone, realizing you don't have all the answers, and some practical advice about the importance of valuing the time we have and giving that time to the most important people in our lives. James also challenges us to look at the lies we tell ourselves that hold us back in life, and to learn how to listen to others so they will listen to us. James' humor provides comic relief in the middle of some of the more serious stories, but the humor always makes his examples hit home and keeps his stories memorable. Readers will appreciate that while he speaks as someone who has had success in life, his leadership background is not that of the typical leader who writes leadership books-he's not a former company CEO or a famous athlete-and that makes his points stand out all the more. Educators, business professionals, student leaders, and others will find this book to be introspective, validating, and motivational. Most importantly they will take away that their story is good enough. Check out Leading Imperfectly. Between the chuckles, there's quite a bit of wisdom that will stick with you long after you turn the last page.

Download or read book Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World written by Iddo Landau and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does life have meaning? Is it possible for life to be meaningful when the world is filled with suffering and when so much depends merely upon chance? Even if there is meaning, is there enough to justify living? These questions are difficult to resolve. There are times in which we face the mundane, the illogically cruel, and the tragic, which leave us to question the value of our lives. However, Iddo Landau argues, our lives often are, or could be made, meaningfulwe've just been setting the bar too high for evaluating what meaning there is. When it comes to meaning in life, Landau explains, we have let perfect become the enemy of the good. We have failed to find life perfectly meaningful, and therefore have failed to see any meaning in our lives. We must attune ourselves to enhancing and appreciating the meaning in our lives, and Landau shows us how to do that. In this warmly written book, rich with examples from the author's life, film, literature, and history, Landau offers new theories and practical advice that awaken us to the meaning already present in our lives and demonstrates how we can enhance it. He confronts prevailing nihilist ideas that undermine our existence, and the questions that dog us no matter what we believe. While exposing the weaknesses of ideas that lead many to despair, he builds a strong case for maintaining more hope. Along the way, he faces provocative questions: Would we choose to live forever if we could? Does death render life meaningless? If we examine it in the context of the immensity of the whole universe, can we consider life meaningful? If we feel empty once we achieve our goals, and the pursuit of these goals is what gives us a sense of meaning, then what can we do? Finding Meaning in an Imperfect World is likely to alter the way you understand your life.

Download or read book Commodity Price Shocks and Imperfectly Credible Macroeconomic Policies in Commodity Exporting Small Open Economies written by Juan Pablo Medina Guzman and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we analyze how lack of credibility and transparency of monetary and fiscal policies undermines the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies to isolate the economy from commodity price fluctuations. We develop a general equilibrium model for a commodity-exporting economy where macro policies are conducted through rules. We show that the responses of output, aggregate demand, and inflation to an increase in commodity price are magnified when these rules are imperfectly credible and lack transparency. If policies are imperfectly credible, then transparency helps private agents to learn the systematic behavior of the autorities, reducing the effects of commodity prices shocks. Coherent with the model, we show cross-country evidence that monetary policy transparency and fiscal credibility reduce the incidence of export price volatility on output volatility. Also, our results indicate that having an explicit fiscal rule and an inflation targeting regime contribute to isolate the economy from terms of trade fluctuations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being Imperfectly Perfect is a self-help book that aims to guide readers towards personal growth and development by embracing their imperfections. Written by Indrajeet Nayak, this book delves into the idea that we don't need to be perfect to be successful or happy in life. Rather, it is the acceptance and celebration of our little imperfections that leads to a more fulfilling and authentic life. The concept of being perfectly imperfect is not a new one, but it is often misunderstood. Many people believe that they need to become perfect in order to achieve success or happiness. This idea is flawed because perfection is unattainable, and the pursuit of it can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, and even depression. Being Imperfectly Perfect challenges this notion by exploring the gifts of imperfection and the power of self-acceptance. The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the concept of being imperfectly perfect and what it means to embrace our imperfections. The author shares his personal journey towards self-acceptance and provides examples of successful people who have overcome their imperfections to achieve great things. He also highlights the dangers of the pursuit of perfection and the benefits of embracing our imperfections. The second part of the book offers practical advice on how to become more accepting of our imperfections. The author provides a personal growth plan that includes exercises and strategies to help readers identify their strengths and weaknesses, set goals, and develop a positive mindset. He also offers tips on how to deal with self-doubt and criticism, and how to cultivate self-compassion. The third part of the book focuses on the benefits of being imperfectly perfect. The author argues that when we accept our imperfections, we become more authentic, confident, and resilient. We are also able to connect more deeply with others and experience greater joy and fulfillment in life. The author also discusses the role of gratitude and mindfulness in cultivating a more positive and accepting mindset. Being Imperfectly Perfect is a valuable addition to the growing collection of personal growth books. It offers a refreshing perspective on the idea of perfection and provides practical tools for personal growth and development. The author's writing style is engaging and accessible, and the book is filled with inspiring stories and practical advice. Whether you are struggling with self-doubt, seeking to become more authentic, or simply looking to live a more fulfilling life, this book is a must-read. In conclusion, Being Imperfectly Perfect is a book that challenges the traditional notion of perfection and encourages readers to embrace their imperfections.

The author's insights and guidance are both inspiring and practical, making this book a valuable addition to any personal growth library.
