Book Outward Bound Lessons to Live a Life of Leadership

Download or read book Outward Bound Lessons to Live a Life of Leadership written by Mark Michaux Brown and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to describe in detail the principles of Outward Bound, told through the stories of former instructors and graduates who show how to apply them to create healthier, more effective teams, organizations, and communities. For nearly six decades Outward Bound USA's education programs have shaped the lives of tens of thousands of participants. Strangers are put in an unfamiliar and unpredictable setting, where to succeed they must develop a sense of teamwork, resilience, self-confidence, and a focus on the greater good. But, Mark Brown asks, isn't the modern world just as unpredictable and challenging as any mountain or desert? He shows how the same principles that bind people together in the natural world work just as well in cities, companies, and communities. This book explores the concept of Expeditionary Leadership through the stories of people such as third-generation business steward Laura Kohler, the Home Depot cofounder Arthur Blank, and former United States Senator Mark Udall, whose lives were touched by Outward Bound and who then went on to make a positive difference in the world. They show how each of us can, in our own way, use the Outward Bound philosophy to bravely face the wild unknowns in our daily lives. From training the first Peace Corps volunteers to partnering with thousands of educational institutions and corporations, Outward Bound has helped build the self-confidence and character of participants who have gone on to live richer, more fulfilling, and successful lives. Outward Bound internationally operates in thirty-three countries and impacts nearly a quarter of a million people annually.

Book Living the Dream

    Book Details:
  • Author : Phil Bailey
  • Publisher : Outskirts Press
  • Release : 2010-10-26
  • ISBN : 9781432762391
  • Pages : 202 pages

Download or read book Living the Dream written by Phil Bailey and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe and successful experiential education program delivery, especially of backcountry courses, relies heavily upon structure, preparation, training, and well-developed objectives. This sounds simple enough, but it's not. Often the wrong people, wrong training, wrong or conflicting intention, or improper communication- from the top down- creates confusion that can compromise, even sabotage, program safety and success. There are any number of resources and tools and time-honored methodologies that inform and shape the general industry. The problem is that there may be too many and many are conflicting - and there are too many self-proclaimed experts on various aspects of the industry. So how does a program administrator parse through it all to determine proper program design? And how do field staff decide which of the many course delivery tools are most appropriate for their individual competencies and the program delivery philosophy of the company for which they work? Further, how are those tools and methodologies translated to the field in real-time with real students? The general purpose of this book is to explore these issues from the program administrator perspective as well as from that of front-line field staff. This is a resource to help inform course and/or expedition design and objectives as well as staff development and course delivery expectations for everything from open-enrollment day courses to special population wilderness expeditions.

Book The Outward Mindset

Download or read book The Outward Mindset written by , The Arbinger Institute and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of an international bestseller helps individuals and organizations shift to a new mindset that will improve performance, spark collaboration, accelerate innovation, and make your life and the lives of everyone around you better. Without even being aware of it, many of us operate from an inward mindset, a single-minded focus on our own goals and objectives. This book points out the many ways, some quite subtle and deceptive, that this mindset invites tension and conflict. But incredible things happen when people switch to an outward mindset. They intuitively understand what coworkers, colleagues, family, and friends need to be successful and happy. Their organizations thrive, and astonishingly, by focusing on others they become happier and more successful themselves! This new mindset brings about deep and far-reaching changes. The Outward Mindset presents compelling true stories to illustrate the gaps that individuals and organizations typically experience between their actual inward mindsets and their needed outward mindsets. And it provides simple yet profound guidance and tools to help bridge this mindset gap. This new edition includes a new preface, updated case studies, and new material covering Arbinger's latest research on mindsets. In the long run, changing negative behavior without changing one's mindset doesn't last—the old behaviors always reassert themselves. But changing the mindset that causes the behavior changes everything.
