Download or read book The Most Excellent Way to Lead written by Perry Noble and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speakers often use the words vision, boldness, and influence to describe the characteristics of effective leaders. Perry Noble, in The Most Excellent Way to Lead, makes the case that the heart of great leadership lies elsewhere. Perry, despite “winning” the label “least likely to succeed” in high school, beat the odds against him. Today, he inspires thirty-five thousand people every weekend to live for something greater than themselves. He credits this achievement to the leadership principles he has learned from the Bible. Surprisingly, the essence of leadership that produces genuine growth is buried in a Bible chapter often read at weddings. In this groundbreaking book, Perry walks us through that leadership chapter, describing the fifteen qualities of an inspirational leader. Whether you are an entrepreneur or a new parent, this book will encourage you to see every opportunity in life as a chance to lead in the “most excellent way.”

Book excerpt: Edison Jaquez is the founder of the B-Men and B-YOUtiful mentoring programs for at-risk teen boys and girls. Long before he had the idea to start these programs, Edison was a young man running the streets of Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Born in the Dominican Republic and growing up in Stockton Street projects, Edison spent his life fighting against the negative labels that were thrust upon him, graduating college and getting a professional job. At the same time, he struggled with the traps of his neighborhood: fighting, and the easy money of drugs. As the father of a young son, Edison realized he had to do something to change his life when he landed in jail. His story is one of self-awareness, spiritual awakening and gritty motivation. As a mentor, Edison is honest about the life he led and how he turned it all around. His story is especially effective with youth he describes as "the kids nobody knows what to do with." In this book, Edison shares his journey from an impoverished island nation, to inner city projects, to college, to jail, and finally arriving at a sense of peace and accomplishment that empowers him to reach out and give a hand up to others.

Download or read book A Chinaman s Chance written by Eric Liu and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Tony Hsieh to Amy Chua to Jeremy Lin, Chinese Americans are now arriving at the highest levels of American business, civic life, and culture. But what makes this story of immigrant ascent unique is that Chinese Americans are emerging at just the same moment when China has emerged -- and indeed may displace America -- at the center of the global scene. What does it mean to be Chinese American in this moment? And how does exploring that question alter our notions of just what an American is and will be? In many ways, Chinese Americans today are exemplars of the American Dream: during a crowded century and a half, this community has gone from indentured servitude, second-class status and outright exclusion to economic and social integration and achievement. But this narrative obscures too much: the Chinese Americans still left behind, the erosion of the American Dream in general, the emergence -- perhaps -- of a Chinese Dream, and how other Americans will look at their countrymen of Chinese descent if China and America ever become adversaries. As Chinese Americans reconcile competing beliefs about what constitutes success, virtue, power, and purpose, they hold a mirror up to their country in a time of deep flux. In searching, often personal essays that range from the meaning of Confucius to the role of Chinese Americans in shaping how we read the Constitution to why he hates the hyphen in "Chinese-American," Eric Liu pieces together a sense of the Chinese American identity in these auspicious years for both countries. He considers his own public career in American media and government; his daughter's efforts to hold and release aspects of her Chinese inheritance; and the still-recent history that made anyone Chinese in America seem foreign and disloyal until proven otherwise. Provocative, often playful but always thoughtful, Liu breaks down his vast subject into bite-sized chunks, along the way providing insights into universal matters: identity, nationalism, family, and more.

Book excerpt: In the 1960s, the untimely death of a mother and the inability of a young father to care for his daughter and her two siblings propel a little girl into foster care. While hers is a singular tale of growing up with loss and uncertainty, and in a handful of disparate homes, this young girl's experiences connect her to thousands of others who still endure the loneliness and disappointment that come with being in the child welfare system.Even during a young life filled with frequent uprooting, including life in a shelter, she discovers an inner resilience to sustain her quest for a "home," learns to lean on the protection and love of her sister, and experiences the meaning of family. She survived. She endured. She overcame. Today that young girl is businesswoman in the non-profit and philanthropic sectors.Here is the story of how one little girl who lost her "home" now uses her voice as a national advocate for more compassionate and kinship care services so that over 500,000 children who are now in the system can reclaim their voices and thrive. Child welfare expert, provider of child welfare services in the non-profit realm, and philanthropist Sharon (Toliver-maiden name) McDaniel knows well the life of these children and youth in foster care. She was one of them. With a mother who died when (Toliver) McDaniel was just two and a father who was too young and inexperienced to properly care for her and her two siblings, she wound up in the child welfare system at the age of six until she was 17 when she graduated from high school and aged out of the system.Her memoir is a journey of her travels through other people's homes and being splintered from her siblings. She endures family loss, a life of instability, and intense loneliness and hunger, as well as the complexities of emancipation. But in the end, her inner resilience, a network of caring families, and education supported the pursuit of her life's work-advocating for kinship care as a primary placement option to foster care.

Drawing on thirty years of business, mentorship, and life experience, Tom explains why empathy, inclusivity, and patience bolster a business's bottom line and serve a greater good. If you're seeking a better work-life balance, this book offers the tools you need to turn things around.
