Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This book is a breakthrough. It’s beautifully written, perfectly timed and heralds a new way forward. I’m buying a dozen copies to share with friends and colleagues.” -Seth Godin, Founder of altMBA and author of The Practice If you let go of hierarchy, chaos will reign...or so many leaders believe. But when leaders find the courage to distribute rather than hoard power, creativity multiplies, trust deepens, and inclusivity expands... and a new kind of order emerges. A few rare leaders have learned to embrace a new organizational shape and mindset: Constellations. Organizations designed as constellations are dynamic and flexible networks of distinct yet interwoven individuals. Each member of the team feels like a singular star and is also connected to others to form something greater. That is how Visa reimagined how we pay for things, how Wikipedia beat the richest company in the world and how Barack Obama and his grassroots team revolutionized political campaigning. These leaders did what most leaders dread – they gave away power. Barzun brilliantly layers lessons across history and industries with his own experiences as an internet entrepreneur, political organizer, and US ambassador to the United Kingdom and Sweden. The Power of Giving Away Power shows how the Constellation mindset shines in some of the most impactful organizations and innovations the world has ever known. And it encourages us all to recognize, as Barzun writes, "the power we can create by seeing the power in others" — and making the leap to lead. Together.

Now she’s back in D.C. and despite the intensity of her tropical encounter with Logan, she’s shocked to bump into him again.

Download or read book Giving It All Away and Getting It All Back Again written by David Green and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join self-made billionaire David Green, founder of America's craft store giant Hobby Lobby, as he shares the key to building a powerful legacy: generosity. In Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again, Green unpacks time-tested principles that will help you reap the benefits of generosity for multiple generations to come. In 1970, David Green began making picture frames in his garage. With hard work, he and his wife, Barbara, turned that humble beginning into the world's largest privately owned arts-and-crafts retailer, employing forty-three thousand people across nine hundred stores in forty-seven states. But it's not all about business. Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again--part memoir, part personal manifesto--will change the way you think about prosperity, teaching you that true wealth is about more than money. It's about growing your faith, your family, and your intellectual capital alongside your bank account. Green also reminds us that it's not just giving that sets the foundation for financial freedom. Practicing good stewardship also helps us pass on our values and set good examples for future generations. As Hobby Lobby has grown, Green has stayed true to this philosophy by adhering to three key principles: Work with all your heart for God and not for men Think ahead, but hold your plans lightly--you don't know what God has in store for you Consider what you want your legacy to be Follow Green as he invites you to see that a life marked by generosity can also be a life full of adventure--a life that pays the best rewards, changes the lives of those around you, and gives you the tools you need to leave a lasting legacy.

As he travels, he acknowledges, yet ignores being the object of desire of every woman he encounters; every woman except Tiffany, his girlfriend of the past three years. Quinton was understandably devastated after viewing the contemptible evidence that Tiffany has been cheating on him. What he couldn't understand was her motivation. He gave her all the things women demand from the man in their lives; exclusivity, financial support and respect! Everyday, Quinton wrestles with himself over his failure to recognize the telltale signs of a failing relationship with Tiffany. He internally struggles to find the answer to why she would hurt, humiliate and leave him dispirited and...Alone! Thoughts of how he could allow his relationship with Tiffany bind for three years torment him daily! Now, Quinton has to devise a plan to escape Tiffany's emotional chokehold! Can he disregard his constant thoughts of revenge before he does something irrational? Despite his Tiffany-inflicted turmoil, Quinton makes the bravest decision of his life after meeting the very intelligent, equally sexy Jasmine Perry. Although Jasmine is a woman with a shielded heart, Quinton chooses not to ignore his instant, magnetic attraction to her, growing more determined to pursue his quest for real love and happiness, not allowing love to elude him again. Can he pull it off when Jasmine is in just as much pain from continuous, haunting memories from the past as he is? Can he and Jasmine love another past that pain when Tiffany would stop at nothing to regain his affections? Can Quinton get past the anger, hatred and hostility he continually feels for Tiffany to allow his relationship with Jasmine to flourish? He is determined to try.

Let me have you. Allow me to be the person to make it all better. Give me your body. Give me your mind. Give me your heart... just let me have it all. If nothing else, I’ll be happy with you just giving me all you’ve got. Uzoma Youngblood, the Cameroonian powerhouse has fallen and fallen hard. He’s loved before, but it cost him his heart. He’s given before, and it’s cost him his soul. Even with both of those things being of the utmost importance to who he is as a man, he’s not ready to give up yet. He’s ready to love and to be loved. To be the man and the protector that Joc needs. Jocelynn, Joc, Waters, is the self-conscious and emotionally damaged woman who has caught Uzoma’s attention. Beautiful with a fun loving personality, she’s all that a man would want, the sad part is, she doesn’t know it. So what are two people with troubled pasts going to do for each other? Love seems far away, and so does happiness, but with a passion and desire that’s determined to prosper, they win. They find love, they make it work, and they start a relationship that’s built to last, or at least built to last as long as their pasts stay a secret. Zino has lived through one trial after the next. Being disappointed and let down time and time again. So when he meets Lonnie, his expectations are no different. Though he likes her and enjoys the time they spend together, he’s more than positive she’ll be like the rest. With a wall around his heart, Zino not only rejects Lonnie, but he rejects the love and friendship she tries to give. With a heart of gold and a personality to match, Lonnie has become Zino’s favorite past time. However, that’s only during the time he actually allows her in. She’s happy and ready to make his life better just by being herself, but that’s proving to be more than a struggle. Having dealt with her own share of grief and pain, shying away from Zino’s is not an option. With both of them having different interpretations of their relationship it's nearly impossible to give it all they’ve got.

Book excerpt: Life is what you make it, relationships are what you make them, LOVE is what you make it, which is why when dealing with any of the three, you must give it all you've got. In order to gain the most, you have to give the most. Though it isn't always easy, if done right, it's worth it. Uzoma has patiently loved and guided Joc through all of her pain and trials with little to no help coming from her end. Emotionally battered and bruised, in her mind, she has nothing left to give. That is until he helps her find herself. To find the exact same love and passion inside of herself that she's found in him is not only everything that she's wished for, but everything that she plans to keep. Uzoma Youngblood is worth it, their love is worth it, their life together, and everything that they've fought for... is worth it.

Little does he know, Lonnie Bruce has absolutely no plans to leave. No matter how hard he pushes, no matter how far he strays away, she remains there to reel him back in. After putting up one tireless effort after the other, Zino finally gives in, only to notice that the very thing he's been running from is the only thing he needs.
