Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignite your consciousness to live-and lead-with power and purpose Like an all-you-can-eat buffet, our world is constantly giving us too much of everything: stimulation, anxiety, information, responsibilities, challenges. Our work as leaders, then, is to expand our spiritual capacity to hold more of what life and business constantly throws at us. Our work is to live with purpose, strengthening our relationship with our own power, and unleashing the collective power of others: our colleagues, our staff, our friends, our kids-even the neighbour who wakes us up daily with a leaf blower. Purpose-driven living pulls others up and calls them forward. In this transformational guide to conscious leadership, Fortune 100 executive coach, meditation expert, and host of This Epic Life podcast Kristoffer Carter shows you how to transcend the overwhelm and disruption of daily life and step into your power. With a unique blend of irreverent humor, pop culture references, and spiritual insight, he reveals the 4 Permissions that offer you the fuel to glow, and The 7 Compassionate Laws of Personal Change for activating and living these permissions. With guided journal prompts, invocations, daily affirmations, and powerful exercises, you will override the default behaviors that resist change. Stepping into your full potential, you will uncover your purpose, and become a guiding light for others. Whether you lead a team of one (yourself) or a team of thousands, tending to your internal work allows you to step forward, into the light. Your glow attracts allies, investors, and raving fans. Are you ready to throw the switch?

Download or read book The Epic of Askia Mohammed written by Thomas Albert Hale and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-22 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Askia Mohammed is the most famous leader in the history of the Songhay Empire, which reached its apogee during his reign in 1493-1528. Songhay, approximately halfway between the present-day cities of Timbuktu in Mali and Niamey in Niger, became a political force beginning in 1463, under the leadership of Sonni Ali Ber. By the time of his death in 1492, the foundation had been laid for the development under Askia Mohammed of a complex system of administration, a well-equipped army and navy, and a network of large government-owned farms. The present rendition of the epic was narrated by the griot (or jeseré) Nouhou Malio over two evenings in Saga, a small town on the Niger River, two miles downstream from Niamey. The text is a word-for-word translation from Nouhou Malio's oral performance.

Download or read book EPIC Change written by Timothy R. Clark and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than ever, leaders are expected to be the change agents of their organizations. Yet CEO turnover continues to rise and organizations continue to struggle in their efforts to confront the fearsome adaptive challenges of the global age. Epic Change is a path-breaking contribution to the study of leadership and organizational change. Based on a landmark study of 53 cases of large-scale organizational change in business, healthcare, government, education, and the non-profit sector, acclaimed thought leader and researcher, Dr. Timothy R. Clark unveils the "Power Curve of Change" framework and EPIC system for change management (Evaluate, Prepare, Implement, Consolidate) for leaders who are charged to lead high-stakes change initiatives in their organizations. Epic Change presents a strategic-level road map, along with tactical level tools, for the every-day needs of leaders who must respond to all types of adaptive challenge to remain competitive. It represents a comprehensive, research-based program for leaders who want to develop the indispensable competency of leading change in a permanently and profoundly different age. Change rarely fails for lack of strategy—Clark shows that only the discretionary efforts of people can make change happen—and this requires leadership and energy management. The Epic Change approach has been successfully field-tested with leaders at all levels and in organizations around the world. This important resource provides leaders new research-based tools to increase and sustain the energy of any change effort."

Download or read book The Leadership Shadow written by Erik de Haan and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-03 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's fast paced, interconnected, and mercilessly competitive business world, senior executives have to push themselves and others hard. Paradoxically, to succeed as leaders, they also need to relate to others very well. Under stress and challenge, the qualities executives have relied on to get them to the top and to achieve outstanding results can overshoot into unhelpful drives that lead to business and personal catastrophes.The Leadership Shadow draws on the lived experience of executives to make sense of what actually happens when their drivers overshoot and they act out the dark side of leadership. It shows how executives can find stability in the face of uncertainty, resilience in the face of gruelling demand, and psychological equilibrium as a leader in the face of turbulence.
Download or read book The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle written by Jonathan S. Burgess and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Iliad and Odyssey narrate only relatively small portions of the Trojan War and its aftermath, for centuries these works have overshadowed other, more comprehensive narratives of the conflict, particularly the poems known as the Epic Cycle. In The Tradition of the Trojan War in Homer and the Epic Cycle, Jonathan Burgess challenges Homer's authority on the war's history and the legends surrounding it, placing the Iliad and Odyssey in the larger, often overlooked context of the entire body of Greek epic poetry of the Archaic Age. He traces the development and transmission of the Cyclic poems in ancient Greek culture, comparing them to later Homeric poems and finding that they were far more influential than has previously been thought.

Book excerpt: J.B. Hunt Transport hit the national business scene as a trucking company led by a dynamic founder known for his boundless optimism, untamed vision, and salesmanship. The company has since transformed into a multi-billion-dollar business by balancing business savvy and execution with an enduring entrepreneurial spirit--a rare feat in any industry. J.B. Hunt's triumphs and struggles provide a fascinating case study of how business theory, leadership, culture, and organizational best-practices have combined to create one of the most successful companies in American history. Kirk Thompson, with more than forty years of experience inside the company, gives a CEO's account of the company's evolution, while Matt Waller connects the leadership decisions to business theories that are transferrable to other leaders and industries. Purple on the Inside is more than a corporate history or business management primer. It's a practical case study that illustrates what Seth Godin described in Purple Cow, his best-selling book that considers what characteristics make for a remarkable business. It's the story of leaders and team members who tap into their founder's spirit for innovation while maintaining the focus and high level of performance needed to grow. It's a story about developing partnerships, technologies, and expertise that others can't easily duplicate. And it's a story of overcoming disheartening setbacks and cultivating the purple cows that have allowed J.B. Hunt Transport to do what many experts said was impossible--stand out from its competition in an industry full of brown cows.
