Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use this helpful book to learn about the leadership tools to fuel success, grow your team, and become the visionary you were meant to be. True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right. And if you have the skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership—where experience will allow you to extend your influence beyond your immediate reach and time for the benefit of others. The 5 Levels of Leadership are: 1. Position—People follow because they have to. 2. Permission—People follow because they want to. 3. Production—People follow because of what you have done for the organization. 4. People Development—People follow because of what you have done for them personally. 5. Pinnacle—People follow because of who you are and what you represent. Through humor, in-depth insight, and examples, internationally recognized leadership expert John C. Maxwell describes each of these stages of leadership. He shows you how to master each level and rise up to the next to become a more influential, respected, and successful leader.

Book excerpt: Have you ever experienced the following? A new, fired-up distributor joins your business, excited about the opportunity to change their life circumstances for the better. They "get" the business, they know what they have to do to make a success of it and they can't wait to get started. Equally, you're excited about your new recruit. You feel that you've finally found "the one" person that is going to take the business seriously, someone you can work with, someone who is going to stick around no matter what. Within a few short days/weeks, they're no longer taking your phone calls or replying to your messages. You're eager to catch up with them because the customers they promised to sign up never showed on your system, and the new recruits failed to materialise. What happened? Where did it go wrong? In the eager and enthusiastic rush to get into action with their Network Marketing business, new distributors often fall at the first hurdle and suffer rejection, ridicule and resistance because not enough forethought is put into what they are going to say to prospects before they say it. In Network Marketing, we do a fantastic job of equipping distributors with skills and systems that will help them to jump the 'hurdles' that they'll encounter throughout their Network Marketing career; from writing their list to overcoming objections, closing techniques, presentation skills, coaching, leadership principles... Indeed, we seem to have a proven system for all of these areas of the business - and they work fantastically well, in the main! Strangely, for some reason, we don't seem to have any such system for helping distributors make initial sense of their contact list. By reading this book, you will learn: How, when it comes to prospecting scripts, one size does not fit all How to prospect everyone on your contact list using an approach that is based upon your existing relationship with them How to overcome the mental brick wall that many distributors hit when deciding who to contact first How to go back to people who you've already "blown out"! How to reframe your thinking about your contact list before blowing them out! How to approach your closest family and friends and avoid coming across as "salesy" or weird, given that "you only get one chance to make a first impression" How to overcome the fear of making the initial contact with people on your list How to clear the fog of who to approach first - and why How to identify and maximise prospecting opportunities that arise within your everyday life How to develop relationships with people, over time, that will make it feel completely natural to share your business opportunity with them How to get prospects to ask you about your business How to successfully approach those intimidating people on your chicken list How to get your new team members into action and off to a resistance-free start How to reduce the chances of new team members quitting by teaching them skills that will get them off to the best possible start How to embrace rejection by building an effective "No For Now" list. How to duplicate these philosophies and skills through your team How to minimise resistance, suspicion and ridicule from the people who know you best How to combat the fear of approaching people with the help of helium balloons! Written as a story, based on real-life events, we follow the transformation of Sam Hirst on his rollercoaster journey - from the highs of being an excited new distributor, to the lows of personal rejection, disillusionment and frustration - and finally through to becoming an accomplished and successful Network Marketer.

Download or read book Introduction to Engineering Statistics and Lean Sigma written by Theodore T. Allen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lean production, has long been regarded as critical to business success in many industries. Over the last ten years, instruction in six sigma has been increasingly linked with learning about the elements of lean production. Introduction to Engineering Statistics and Lean Sigma builds on the success of its first edition (Introduction to Engineering Statistics and Six Sigma) to reflect the growing importance of the "lean sigma" hybrid. As well as providing detailed definitions and case studies of all six sigma methods, Introduction to Engineering Statistics and Lean Sigma forms one of few sources on the relationship between operations research techniques and lean sigma. Readers will be given the information necessary to determine which sigma methods to apply in which situation, and to predict why and when a particular method may not be effective. Methods covered include: • control charts and advanced control charts, • failure mode and effects analysis, • Taguchi methods, • gauge R&R, and • genetic algorithms. The second edition also greatly expands the discussion of Design For Six Sigma (DFSS), which is critical for many organizations that seek to deliver desirable products that work first time. It incorporates recently emerging formulations of DFSS from industry leaders and offers more introductory material on the design of experiments, and on two level and full factorial experiments, to help improve student intuition-building and retention. The emphasis on lean production, combined with recent methods relating to Design for Six Sigma (DFSS), makes Introduction to Engineering Statistics and Lean Sigma a practical, up-to-date resource for advanced students, educators, and practitioners.

Download or read book Chinese Multiword Expressions written by Shan Wang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first English monograph to systematically explore Chinese Multiword expressions (MWEs) by applying corpus-driven and corpus-based approaches. It reveals the unique characteristics of Chinese MWEs by examining their core attributes, identification and classification, and knowledge framework. It also assesses, for the first time, the distribution and density of Chinese MWEs in textbooks. By doing so, the book provides important insights into Chinese language learning, with implications for natural language processing, lexicography, and psychology. Moreover, it offers a framework for linguists, language teachers and learners, computer scientists, lexicographers, and psychologists to explore their own areas of interest.

Download or read book Syntactic Variation and Genre written by Heidrun Dorgeloh and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-12-20 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the interplay of syntactic variation and genre. How do genres emerge and what is the role of syntax in constituting them? Why do certain constructions appear in certain types of text? The book takes the concept of genre as a reference-point for the description and analysis of morpho-syntactic variation and change. It includes both overviews of theoretical approaches to the concept of genre and text type in linguistics and studies of specific syntactic phenomena in English, German, and selected Romance languages. Contributions to the volume make use of insights from attempts for text classification and rhetorical views on genre and reach from quantitative, corpus-based methodology to qualitative, text-based analyses. The types of texts investigated cover spoken, highly interactive, and written forms of communication, including selected genres of computer-mediated communication. Corpus data come from both synchronic and diachronic linguistic corpora, such as LOB, Brown, FLOB, Frown, ARCHER, and ICE-Jamaica. This spectrum both in approaches and data is meant to provide a theoretical foundation as well as a realistic view of the inherent complexity of form-function relationships in syntax. At the same time, genre is treated as a category relevant beyond discourse studies, consisting of forms and conventions at all levels of linguistic analysis, including syntax. The book is therefore of interest to linguists and graduate students in the area of syntax, discourse analysis, and pragmatics, as well as to sociolinguists and corpus linguists working on register variation.

Download or read book Critical Analysis of Science Textbooks written by Myint Swe Khine and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critical analysis of science textbooks is vital in improving teaching and learning at all levels in the subject, and this volume sets out a range of academic perspectives on how that analysis should be done. Each chapter focuses on an aspect of science textbook appraisal, with coverage of everything from theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, methodological issues, and conceptual frameworks for critical analysis, to practical techniques for evaluation. Contributions from many of the most distinguished scholars in the field give this collection its sure-footed contemporary relevance, reflecting the international standards of UNESCO as well as leading research organizations such as the American Association for the Advancement of Science (whose Project 2061 is an influential waypoint in developing protocols for textbook analysis). Thus the book shows how to gauge aspects of textbooks such as their treatment of controversial issues, graphical depictions, scientific historiography, vocabulary usage, accuracy, and readability. The content also covers broader social themes such as the portrayal of women and minorities. "Despite newer, more active pedagogies, textbooks continue to have a strong presence in classrooms and to embody students’ socio-historical inheritance in science. Despite their ubiquitous presence, they have received relatively little on-going empirical study. It is imperative that we understand how textbooks influence science learning. This book presents a welcome and much needed analysis." Tina A. Grotzer Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA The present book provides a much needed survey of the current state of research into science textbooks, and offers a wide range of perspectives to inform the 'science' of writing better science textbooks.

Download or read book Standardizing Written English written by Amy J. Devitt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-11-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Devitt offers a new view of the linguistic process of standardization, the movement of specific language features towards uniformity. Drawing on theoretical arguments and empirical data, she examines the way in which linguistic conformity develops out of variation, and the textual and social factors that influence this process. After defining and clarifying the general theoretical issues involved, the author takes as a specific case study the standardization of written English in Scotland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and shows that standardization is a gradual process, that it occurs at significantly different rates and times in different genres, that it encompasses periods of great variation, and that it occurs concurrently with sociopolitical shifts. The interrelationship of linguistic features, genres, and social pressures shape the nature and direction of standardization.
