Download or read book The Fear free Organization written by Paul Brown and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence from neuroscience shows that individuals and organizations are more successful when people are encouraged to take risks, explore new ideas, and channel their energies in ways that work for them. And yet many organizations are filled with bullies, vicious gossip, undermining behaviours, hijacking tactics, political jockeying for position, favouritism and other factors that instil fear and impede productivity. It is no wonder that organizations are actively looking at how they can improve and maintain the psychological health and wellbeing of their employees to the benefit of all concerned. The Fear-free Organization reveals how our new understanding of the neurobiology of the self - how the brain constructs the person - can transform for the better the way our businesses and organizations work. Academic yet accessible, The Fear-free Organization addresses head on the issue that scared people spend a lot more time plotting their survival than working productively. The book helps leaders understand the neurobiology of fear, face the damage it is doing, and replace it with building relationships, managing energy flow and fostering trust. It guides you in making your workplace one that's full of energy, not adrenalin; focused on possibility, not profit; and generates independent thinking, not obedience so you can promote the psychological wellbeing that is strongly correlated with greater energy, motivation and better cognitive function.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Real Love is the single most powerful motivator in a leader's toolbox. Clear and unsentimental, this book is required reading for a profitable workplace."-Ken Blanchard, best-selling author of The One Minute Manager In the vast majority of businesses, the expression "People are our most important asset" is little more than a plaque on the wall. The organizations that have actually put this principle to work, however, have demonstrated a consistent advantage over their competitors in the areas of employee retention, innovation, productivity, and profitability. Management experts are finally realizing that the development of "human resources" will be the key to business success in the foreseeable future, and in the words of one reader, "Real Love in the Workplace is the only book that explains what every person in the workplace needs most, as well as what we can do to provide it." We're all instinctively aware that every human being has a primal need for love, but most of us fail to realize that this need continues into the workplace for every manager, direct report, CEO, vendor, consultant, board member, co-worker, and customer. If we don't address that primal need, all our attempts to optimize business indicators-productivity and profitability, for example-will be frustrated to a significant degree. If we do address that uniquely human need-if we do what's necessary to produce happy employees, managers, and customers-profits will naturally follow. In Real Love in the Workplace, you will learn: - How to become the kind of leader people will want to follow. - How to create customers who are not just satisfied but eager to stay with your company. - How to create a workplace with communicative, creative, cooperative, happy employees. - How to eliminate-not just manage-conflict in the workplace. - How to correct behaviors in a way that people will be eager to hear it.

Download or read book Love Without Walls written by Laurie Beshore and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We see it all around us: Poverty. Unemployment. Crime. Hopelessness. Anger. Disenchantment. Injustice. We want to help. We want to do something. But what? Good intentions are good, but often our efforts at helping others can actually make things worse. And in many communities the church is viewed with suspicion, if not downright hostility. So how can churches effectively serve the needs of their communities in ways that communicate the love and grace of God? According to author Laurie Beshore, churches need to step up and take action, but it all begins by learning. You must get to know the people in your community and establish relationships built on mutual trust and respect. This ebook recounts the compelling twenty-five year story of how Mariner’s Church, a growing mega-church in Irvine, CA, began reaching out to their community and how they made more than their fair share of mistakes along the way. But these hard-earned lessons are now of immense value to a new generation of church leaders trying to serve their own communities that are skeptical, if not understandably suspicious, of the intentions of the 21st century church. Laced with ultra-practical teachings and transferable principles for churches and ministries of all sizes and styles, this is a book filled with potent lessons and powerful stories both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Download or read book Beyond Engagement written by Yetunde Hofmann and published by Authors Place Press. This book was released on 2020-03 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Engagement is bringing a new perspective to the leadership challenge by looking beyond the transactional processes in the relationship with stakeholders and goes to the heart of the problem - quite literally - and asks the key question of intention. Yetunde draws out in her passionate and conversational style the tension between selfishness evidenced in current life today and the satisfaction in life we all gain in doing selfless acts of kindness, generosity and care. The book manages to touch on an abstract quality of leadership and brings it to life through the eyes of the many senior business leaders she has interviewed and are quoted throughout the book. This provides for a rich and vibrant picture of the future of leadership the pivotal role it has in the unleashing of the human potential, and what it takes to be human in a world that seems to bow down to the power of money. In addition, it provides practical ideas for change at both an organisational and an individual level. No matter what stage of leadership you are at or whether you are just curious about the topic of leadership, this book will change your approach forever and at the very least will serve as a great conversation starter on the development of one of the most critical leadership capabilities we can have today. Love.
Download or read book Strong Like Water written by Laila Tarraf and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laila Tarraf was the Chief People Officer for Peet’s Coffee and Tea, the iconic Berkeley coffee roaster that launched the craft coffee movement in America, but she had a secret: she was failing in the most important relationships in her life. Yes, she was a strong and effective business leader, the successful daughter of immigrants, and the mother of a toddler; but she was also disconnected from her own feelings and had little patience for the feelings of others. All that changed when life handed her a trifecta of losses: her husband died of an accidental drug overdose, and her parents' deaths followed in quick succession. Laila had spent her life leading from the head, convinced that any display of vulnerability would make her soft. What she didn’t expect was that soft would turn out to be strong. As she reconnected to her heart, one painful step at a time, something remarkable happened: she became a better leader, a better mother, and a better person. Her heart turned out to be the true source of her power, at home and at work. This is a book about healing, about waking up, about learning who you are—who you really, truly are at the core—and reclaiming and embracing all the pieces of yourself you long ago abandoned in the name of survival. Women longing for balance will discover a path to infusing our leadership and relationships with love, compassion, and authenticity.
