Download or read book The Soul of Leadership written by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2010-12-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Deepak Chopra lights the way to twenty-first century leadership, where consciousness, love, and compassion redefine the locus of power in relationships and organizations.”—John Mackey, co-CEO Whole Foods Market Bestselling author and spiritual guide Deepak Chopra invites you to become the kind of leader most needed today: a leader with vision who can make that vision real. Chopra has been teaching leadership to CEOs and other top executives for eight years, and the path outlined in The Soul of Leadership applies to any business, but the same principles are relevant in every community and area of life, from family and home to school, place of worship, and neighborhood. “At the deepest level,” Chopra writes, “a leader is the symbolic soul of a group.” With clear, practical steps, you are led through the crucial skills outlined in the acronym L-E-A-D-E-R-S: L = Look and Listen E = Emotional Bonding A = Awareness D = Doing E = Empowerment R = Responsibility S = Synchronicity After identifying your own soul profile and the core values you want to develop, you can use these seven skills to allow your potential for greatness to emerge. Only from the level of the soul, Chopra contends, are great leaders created. Once that connection is made, you have unlimited access to the most vital qualities a leader can possess: creativity, intelligence, organizing power, and love. The Soul of Leadership aims to fill the most critical void in contemporary life, the void of enlightened leaders. “You can be such a leader,” Chopra promises. “The path is open to you. The only requirement is that you learn to listen to your inner guide.” In this unique handbook you are shown how to do just that, in words as practical as they are uplifting. The future is unfolding at this very minute, and the choice to lead it lies with each of us, here and now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dangerous work of leading change--somebody has to do it. Will you put yourself on the line? To lead is to live dangerously.

In Leadership on the Line, they show how it's possible to make a difference without getting "taken out" or pushed aside. They present everyday tools that give equal weight to the dangerous work of leading change and the critical importance of personal survival.

Download or read book Start with Why written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Book excerpt: Every of us should remeber that it is what we do during 24 hours or 86,400 seconds of each day that will ultimately determine how successful one is in his career. Time is money. It is limited and valuable resource. Time is life as measured out in years, months, days, hours minutes and seconds. Nothing is more important to human being than using this free gift of time effectively, generously and wisely. Obviously, no one can control time in the sense of shaping it, slowing it down or speeding it up. But he can apply it economically to the tasks he has to accomplish. Time is thus scarcest resource and unless time is managed nothing can be managed. Time management should be taken as a fun. It should not be a complicated daily chor. It should be kept as simple as possible. It should be Kept as simple as possible. If life is plaanned, time is planned automatically. Good time planning facilitates quality life. Hence time management should be treated as life management. There is no need to plan the life because time management is life management. In a nutshell, everybody should have a time plan. For the purpose, one should first identify his different roles. Each role should first identify his different roles. Each role should be allocated some time. This plan ideally may be for a week. Week should be planned in advance and reviewed one day earlier. Such a time management plan should be simple, easy, underestabable and feasible to follow. Although the study forces around the HRD Mangers, the concept and philosophy is one and same for every successful person.
