Download or read book The Heart of Leadership written by Mark Miller and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you the type of leader people want to follow? You can be—but first, you've got to understand what sets great leaders apart from all the rest. Certainly, leaders need people skills, execution skills, a deep knowledge of industry trends, the ability to articulate a vision, and more—they must be competent—but that's just the tip of the iceberg. What's below the waterline? What's deep inside the best leaders that makes them different? Mark Miller contends it is their leadership character. In his latest enlightening and entertaining business fable, he describes the five unique character traits exhibited by exceptional leaders and how to cultivate them. The Heart of Leadership begins with young and ambitious Blake Brown being passed over for a desperately wanted promotion, despite an outstanding individual performance. Confused and frustrated, he turns to his former mentor, Debbie Brewster. Rather than attempting to solve Blake's problem for him, she sends him on a quest to meet with five of his late father's colleagues, each of whom holds a piece of the puzzle he's trying to solve. As Blake puts the pieces together, he discovers that in the final analysis, a lack of skills isn't what holds most leaders back; skills are too easy to learn. Without demonstrated leadership character, however, a skill set will never be enough. Most often, when leaders fail to reach their full potential, it is an issue of the heart. This is Blake's ultimate revelation. This book shows us that leadership needn't be the purview of the few—it is within reach for millions around the world. The Heart of Leadership is a road map for every person who desires to make a difference in the lives of others and become a leader people want to follow.

Download or read book Multitude written by Michael Hardt and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-07-26 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their international bestseller Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri presented a grand unified vision of a world in which the old forms of imperialism are no longer effective. But what of Empire in an age of “American empire”? Has fear become our permanent condition and democracy an impossible dream? Such pessimism is profoundly mistaken, the authors argue. Empire, by interconnecting more areas of life, is actually creating the possibility for a new kind of democracy, allowing different groups to form a multitude, with the power to forge a democratic alternative to the present world order.Exhilarating in its optimism and depth of insight, Multitude consolidates Hardt and Negri’s stature as two of the most important political philosophers at work in the world today.

Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends.

This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspirados en el trabajo de escritores tan visionarios como M.Scott Peck y Max De Pree, los autores Lee Bohman y Terry Deal han confeccionado una poderosa historia acerca de la búsqueda de pasión y sentido, tanto en su trabajo como en su vida que realiza un ejecutivo abrumado. Liderazgo con alma nos enseña que el corazón del verdadero líder solo puede ser encontrado en el corazón de un líder.
En esta parábola contemporánea se presenta una crónica del viaje de Steve, un líder falto de espiritu que busca algo mas profundo y satisfactorio que la mera preocupación de las actividades cotidianas. Trata de encontrar respuestas en María, una persona sabia, quien forjo su sabiduría en su propia carrera para ganar dentro del mundo de los negocios. Aunque la primera pregunta que le plantea María parece totalmente alejada del mundo de los negocios, Steve logra de una manera inesperada, descubrir el verdadero significado del liderazgo. Al redescubrir su propia alma, aprende como encender de espiritu a su organización.
Los autores recurren a una mezcla de muchas de las tradiciones espirituales del mundo, poesia, filosofia, las enseñanzas de las ciencias sociales dentro del liderazgo y las organizaciones, asi como su propia y vasta experiencia como consultores, para ofrecer una fuente de inspiración o guia a los lideres actuales. Acorde a la esencia del liderazgo, Bolman y Deal hacen una invitación a participar con ellos en la comprensión de los lazos que unen a la espiritualidad y el liderazgo. A través de interludios entre capítulos, exploran la aplicación en el trabajo diario de las lecciones que Steve aprende y ofrecen una aplicación práctica para obtener lo mejor de la vida y el trabajo.
