Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Horowitz, a leading venture capitalist, modern management expert, and New York Times bestselling author, combines lessons both from history and from modern organizational practice with practical and often surprising advice to help executives build cultures that can weather both good and bad times. Ben Horowitz has long been fascinated by history, and particularly by how people behave differently than you’d expect. The time and circumstances in which they were raised often shapes them—yet a few leaders have managed to shape their times. In What You Do Is Who You Are, he turns his attention to a question crucial to every organization: how do you create and sustain the culture you want? To Horowitz, culture is how a company makes decisions. It is the set of assumptions employees use to resolve everyday problems: should I stay at the Red Roof Inn, or the Four Seasons? Should we discuss the color of this product for five minutes or thirty hours? If culture is not purposeful, it will be an accident or a mistake. What You Do Is Who You Are explains how to make your culture purposeful by spotlighting four models of leadership and culture-building—the leader of the only successful slave revolt, Haiti’s Toussaint Louverture; the Samurai, who ruled Japan for seven hundred years and shaped modern Japanese culture; Genghis Khan, who built the world’s largest empire; and Shaka Senghor, a man convicted of murder who ran the most formidable prison gang in the yard and ultimately transformed prison culture. Horowitz connects these leadership examples to modern case-studies, including how Louverture’s cultural techniques were applied (or should have been) by Reed Hastings at Netflix, Travis Kalanick at Uber, and Hillary Clinton, and how Genghis Khan’s vision of cultural inclusiveness has parallels in the work of Don Thompson, the first African-American CEO of McDonalds, and of Maggie Wilderotter, the CEO who led Frontier Communications. Horowitz then offers guidance to help any company understand its own strategy and build a successful culture. What You Do Is Who You Are is a journey through culture, from ancient to modern. Along the way, it answers a question fundamental to any organization: who are we? How do people talk about us when we’re not around? How do we treat our customers? Are we there for people in a pinch? Can we be trusted? Who you are is not the values you list on the wall. It’s not what you say in company-wide meeting. It’s not your marketing campaign. It’s not even what you believe. Who you are is what you do. This book aims to help you do the things you need to become the kind of leader you want to be—and others want to follow.

Book excerpt: An emotional story of dance and class, combining the sincerity of K.A. Holt's House Arrest with the gritty urban feel of Kwame Alexander's The Crossover and the triumphant spirit of Footloose, THIS IS WHO WE ARE is a middle grade novel in verse about a neglected community, the shared humanity of its people and art that can save from violence and hate, even across the dividing lines of economic class. Mason Steele is a twelve-year-old popping animation dancer who just lost his cousin to violence on the streets of The Heights, only a couple of years after losing his dad on the same streets. He's angry. But even angrier than his 99-year-old great-grandmother, Memaw, is still planning to hold her community-wide 100th birthday party. How can they celebrate with so much sorrow sitting on their shoulders? And, besides, while The Heights used to be one of the few places in Houston that broke class boundaries, thanks to its run-down basketball court where rich and poor play pick-up games, things are changing fast. The wealthy across the tracks are clamoring for the city to clean up the violence in The Heights, the basketball court's become a battleground, and prospectors have been scoping out The Heights for their "improvement plans," which everybody knows means gentrification is on its way. Memaw says art-painting, basketball, dance-can save the community. But can it, really? And, more importantly, will Mason be brave enough to share his art with a community that might just laugh at a boy who loves to dance?

Download or read book Talk Yourself Happy written by Kristi Watts and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former cohost of The 700 Club Kristi Watts reveals the pitfalls that keep Christians from true joy and demonstrates the transformational power of speaking the words and promises of God. How does a person bounce back after being beaten down personally, professionally, and emotionally? What impact do words, thoughts, and beliefs have in determining one’s level of happiness? Kristi Watts asked herself these questions after her marriage dissolved and she left a high-profile position as a cohost of The 700 Club. Initially excited to walk into a new season of life that she thought held the key to happiness, she soon stumbled into emotional pitfalls that left her discouraged, disappointed, and distant from God. Known as the upbeat host who was always filled with joy and laughter, she was anything but—yet she was determined to get her happy back! But how? By learning, as Kristi did, that true happiness is not simply acquired but rather cultivated. When one’s words focus on faulty perspectives, faith is quickly derailed, but by remembering God’s blessings and verbally claiming His promises, hearts change. Using biblical principles, Talk Yourself Happy illustrates the importance of relying on God to tame our tongues and train our minds, and it exposes the hidden traps that keep Christians from living lives of happiness, empowering readers with the ultimate transformation of their hearts.
