Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are a soldier and a CEO, about to be reborn into a new way of thinking about business; a moral one based on an original blueprint and ancient principles. As an entrepreneur, a businessperson, a human being, we all need a strategy for survival, success and sustenance in a chaotic world. Few business leaders have lived as international a life as Raj D. Mohan, whose homes have ranged from India, the United Kingdom, West Africa and beyond. His family’s business roots are in the pharmaceutical industry, giving him decades of experience and wisdom in one of the world’s most important economic sectors. Mohan insists the old adage “prevention is better than a cure” delivers a larger-than-life truth. Mary Poppins sang, “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down”. Indeed, the bitter medicine of truth can be masterfully sugar-coated ensuring its palatability. Only then, can it be willingly consumed to bring holistic wellness for the user. The result is this book, a spiritual business guide for leaders of any industry providing a moral compass for decision-making, whether working one-on-one with employees and team players, or for major decisions in the boardroom, which can impact the lives of millions. Mohan enlightens us with many real-life examples in unique, entertaining ways. Woven through these anecdotes are fables, allegories and historical, mythical dramas from the world’s greatest religious beliefs—even to the legends of classical Rome and Greece, with their own pantheons of deities and figures. Each chapter contains a new insight into thinking for today’s companies and forward-thinking entrepreneurs and business managers. For everyone who wants to be a successful CEO of their own life, it’s a book you won’t want to miss.

Download or read book Workers of Wonders written by Byron L. Sherwin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do people follow a leader, particularly a religious leader? And why, given that Americans are still an overwhelmingly religious people, is the clergy declining in influence? Byron Sherwin argues that what is missing is the perception that religious leaders today are capable of working wonders. Sherwin leads the reader through five periods of Jewish history: the era of biblical prophets, Jesus and first-century Israel; Babylonian rabbis of the third and fourth centuries; the east European Hasidic Masters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and twentieth century North African rabbis. In all cases, the moral authority of the leaders came primarily from popular belief in their power to work wonders for the people. Sherwin applies history to the current situation. If the clergy is to be re-empowered, to reclaim leadership and authority as holy people, they must reassert the ability to work wonders. This is a book that every member of the clergy and every religious leader should read, ponder and take to heart.

This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrity has been an essential component of leadership throughout the ages. The Church is facing an integrity crisis; consistently struggling with a plethora of ethical woes among several gifted leaders. Not only is the Churchs conduct in question, its very character and competence are being placed under intense scrutiny. This book explores three dimensions of integrity. It proposes that the overall process of leadership development pivots on three dimensions of integrity: personal integrity (the character of the leader), vocational integrity (the competence of the leader) and organizational integrity, (the commitment and contribution of the leader). This book also proposes that while being gifted is an asset to leadership; giftedness is never enough for successful leadership. It is the combination of giftedness + integrity3 that will facilitate effective leadership.

Download or read book Why Leaders Fail and Plunge the Innocent into a Sea of Agonies written by AGOLA AUMA-OSOLO and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a diagnosis of the cause-effects of leadership failure endemic that has often plunged the innocent mankind globally into a sea of various agonies throughout all generations. Because of the criticality of the failures of leadership and the crucial aim of science and professional ethic to save humanity from every danger of insecurity, the book employs an interdisciplinary approach in order to not only achieve the aim but also be exhaustively thorough vis--vis the identity and behavior of the mysteries surrounding the root cause of this particular problem that seems to have always evaded full recognition of previous etiological efforts. It does so in order that the root cause may no longer continue to cause further havoc to humanity with total impunity. On the strength of this approach, and also being cognizant to the fact that man always perishes due to either lack of knowledge or to his despise of knowledge (Hosea 4:6), the book discovers that since antiquity during our patriarch Adam to the present, agonies of destruction of life, property, and the environment caused by leadership, poverty abound and is globally increasing very alarmingly on the equal proportion with the growth of our civilization, which could easily lead to a global catastrophethe given presence of the monuclear weaponry. These agonies arise from intra- and interstate strifes and displaced persons exodus madly in search of a safe haven, kleptocracy, justice sale contrary to a leaders oath of office and professional ethics, etc., which consequently leads to the innocents frustration, anger, and retaliation in the form of strikes, terrorism, coup detat, etc., against the source of their frustration. But although mankind has, to date, achieved commendable discoveries in both bioscience and physical science for reliable remedies to human agonies caused by both natural and man-made disasters, unfortunately, such substantive achievements have not been witnessed in both social and behavioral sciences against the root cause of bad governance, which has been the principal causal factor to perpetual man-made agonies to humanity. Consequently, from its etiology of this bad governance, the book unearths mans habitual dishonesty and disobedience to his own oath of office and Gods commandment to every leader contained in the Holy Bible under 2 Samuel 23:24, ordering that one must be just to all that one rules over in conformity to ones oath of office as actual root causes. The book confirms these as being responsible for all leadership failures ranging from the patriarch Adams leadership to leadership failures of various kingdoms of Old Israel and during our own generation today. The latter include the colonial leaders followed by leaders of independent Africa who, like Judas Iscariot, paradoxically continue to betray and sentence their innocent African continent people to perpetual agonies of poverty, diseases, corruption, and other various symptoms of underdevelopment and dependency in a contravention of their own original promises during their struggle for independence from colonialism and imperialism, and also their own vow during their oath of office as leaders of Independent Africa. Thus, the significance of this book to both academia and total humanity for their etiological efforts against the vice.

Download or read book Peter Apocalyptic Seer written by John R. Markley and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2013 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, John R. Markley argues that the generic portrayal of apocalyptic seers, which he reconstructs through an analysis of fourteen Jewish and Christian apocalypses, shaped Matthew's portrayal of Peter. This influence of the apocalypse genre has come to bear on the Matthean Peter indirectly, through Matthew's appropriation of Markan and Q source material, and directly, through Matthew's redaction and special material. This suggests that Matthew has portrayed Peter, in part, as an apocalyptic seer who was an exclusive recipient of mysteries about Jesus and mysteries mediated by Jesus. In other words, Matthew primarily conceived of Peter as a recipient of revelation, analogously to the venerated seers portrayed in the apocalypses of the Second Temple period. Markley states that these conclusions require substantial revision to the predominant scholarly estimations of the Matthean Peter, which mainly hold him to be a typical or exemplary disciple.

Download or read book Murder by the Bay written by Charles F. Adams and published by Quill Driver Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder has a long and distinguished history in San Francisco. The city and its Bay Area can stand proudly with Paris, London, and New York in the splendour of its misdeeds -- murders that have suspense, horror, audacity, and flair. The homicides chronicled in Murder by the Bay have been selected because a convergence of personality, circumstance, character, and geography makes them peculiarly San Franciscan. Each of these crimes illustrates an historic importance, each has impacted its times -- either in the course or application of the law or in the manner in which the affair revealed a shortcoming in society. They range from the Montgomery Street killing of James King of William, editor of the Daily Evening Bulletin, in 1856 to the sensational trial of early movie comedian Fatty Arbuckle who was accused of killing a showgirl at a party in the St. Francis Hotel to the shocking "City Hall Murders" in which former city supervisor Dan White killed Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. Most were solved, some were not. They are murders that fascinated the city and frequently the country, sometimes for weeks, often for years and even decades.
