Download or read book A Game Plan for Effective Leadership written by Robert Palestini and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2008-07-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional wisdom is that leaders are born, not made. Author Robert Palestini argues that his experience and scholarly research indicate that leadership skills can be learned. The first chapter of this book speaks to the so-called 'science' of administration and leadership, while the second chapter deals with the 'art' of leadership. One needs to learn how to lead with both mind (science) and heart (art) to be truly effective. The effective building blocks of quality leadership are the skills of communication motivation, organizational development, management and creativity. Mastering the theory and practice in these areas of study will produce high quality leadership ability and, in turn, produce successful leaders. This book uses the case study approach in order to facilitate placing theory into effective practice. Each chapter contains an extensive study on one of ten of the most successful basketball coaches of our times including, Phil Jackson, Bobby Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, Pat Riley, Pat Summitt, and Dean Smith. The book looks to see how these coaches were able to place leadership theory into effective practice. The lessons learned will prove invaluable to leaders and aspiring leaders, whether they be a parent, teacher, school principal, athletic director, coach or CEO.
Download or read book Adolescent Romantic Relationships as Precursors of Healthy Adult Marriages written by Benjamin R. Karney and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers are interested in promoting healthy marriages in adulthood by providing services to strengthen the adolescent precursors of healthy marriage, especially within low-income populations. But if programs and curricula targeting adolescent romantic relationships are to be effective, they must be grounded in an accurate understanding of how adolescent relationships function and the role that they play in the development of healthy adult marriages. This report evaluates the current landscape of theory, research, and interventions addressing the role of adolescent romantic relationships in the development of healthy adult marriages. Drawing on a thorough review of the existing theoretical and empirical literature in this area, as well as interviews with practitioners directly involved with developing or administering relationship education to adolescents, the authors bring together relevant research and theory from a wide range of disciplines that have examined these issues, and suggest future directions for research and intervention. In particular, they note that although research describing romantic relationships in low-income populations is sparse, there are already-existing nationally representative data sets that include data from substantial numbers of well-sampled low-income adolescents. Analyses of these data would have relatively low cost and a potentially high yield for informing policies that target low-income youth.

Book excerpt: Though God’s timeline of our lives may look different than our own, He’s weaving a beautiful tapestry, guiding us to trust His ways over our own! The author shares her story as a young adult in search of love when Jesus broke through her confusion and rescued her from her wayward thinking igniting a new hope inside her with His own love story, single and loving others completely, serving them with all His being, even death on a cross. From her ministry to young adults to her own young adult years into childhood when she meets Jesus, to high school, college and after where she followed what she thought was a sure guarantee of happiness all to come crumbling down, from career to personal stories from the Me Too movement to present life, to the end with ABC bible verses and questions after on topics from purpose and self-worth to subjects from trafficking, substance abuse, social media with misguided self-images and choices that can rattle a person if not standing on firm ground with an enemy out to defeat and destroy, her story tells of God’s faithfulness and lessons learned along the way. One will be encouraged of God’s love that’s steadfast, perfect and timely that only He can orchestrate. He knows what you’re going through, loves and cares for you, and will NEVER let you go!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the most talked about books of recent years, Alan Clark's diaries provide a witty and irreverant insider's account of political life in Britain. Now in one volume. 'From the moment the first scabrous and brilliant volume was published, people wanted more. Now they have it and they will not be disappointed... These diaries are not wonderful simply because they show a politician unafraid to say what he thinks, and refusing to suck up to those whom he represents. They are great because they show all sides of a man who was, within his complex personality, arrogant, sensitive, loyal, unfaithful, patriotic, selfish, selfless, and - at all times - completely Technicolour' Simon Heffner, DAILY MAIL
