Download or read book Unleashing Your Own Potential written by Robert W Henry and published by Aviva Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Unleashing Your Own Potential, Robert Henry, a former bank robber, teaches us to look closely at the decisions we make and make better ones. He knows from experience how important it is to make the right kinds of decisions because they can determine our destiny. His successful career in real estate and the personal happiness he’s found are testaments to the fact that the right decisions can open doors to achieving your full potential. Do you feel there is greatness inside you, but you don’t know how to unleash it? Unleashing Your Own Potential: The Self-Leadership Journey from Rock Bottom to Prosperity is a page-turner that is part memoir, part personal development, written by a man who transformed himself from living a life of crime to one of prosperity and giving back. Henry’s story is like none you’ve ever read before. After a difficult upbringing that Henry shares, he seemed to turn things around by going into sales and prospering in his career. In fact, he was doing so well that he and some of his colleagues decided to go into business for themselves. That’s when everything started to fall apart. The company Henry worked for, learning their employees might soon become their competitors, brought unjust criminal accusations against them, making Henry’s life very difficult. After being found guilty of crimes that were not really crimes at all, his life became complicated when he was assigned to a corrupt probation officer. This probation officer did everything imaginable to keep Henry from getting back on his feet until Henry became determined to get out from under the probation officer’s power. The result—Henry decided to pay off his court fines as quickly as possible, and he did that through a series of bank robberies. Without giving away everything that happened to Henry, the end result was he was caught and went to prison. While Henry’s life to that point might seem somewhat sensational to readers, what happened next is remarkable. Henry determined that this time, he would take control of his life by making better decisions. With Unleashing Your Own Potential, Henry has turned his story into a teaching tool. Each chapter begins with a segment of his personal story, followed by a discussion of how that story applies to important lessons we all need to learn. One of the biggest of those lessons is how to make better decisions. Henry states, “To make better decisions, we must train ourselves to engage our rational system more often. That means slowing down and being more intentional about our choices. By evaluating our options and considering our decisions’ potential consequences, we can make more informed choices that are more likely to lead to our desired outcomes.” Henry had failed to make an informed choice when he became a bank robber, but he has made such choices ever since. The result has been a life of prosperity in real estate and coaching others on how to succeed in business and life. Henry does not lecture the reader but offers simple but effective techniques we can use to apply the lessons learned to our lives. For example, in making decisions about your future, he recommends using the 10/10/10 rule. This technique involves considering how you will feel about your decision in ten minutes, ten months, and ten years. By thinking about the future, we put the decision in a better perspective and then can make a better decision. Henry uses powerful and inspirational quotes throughout the book: “It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you,” from Zig Ziglar. Henry did not handle well some of the adversity he faced, but going to prison changed his ability to make better decisions about how to handle difficult situations. He states, “The key to achieving optimal decision-making lies in self-awareness, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.” He discusses all three of these decision-making influences in detail. Ultimately, everything in life revolves around the decisions we make and how we decide to handle situations. Henry discusses how to avoid negative thought patterns so we aren’t trapped by them. He encourages us to reach out to others to build a support network. He recommends developing a clear sense of purpose so that we don’t lose sight of our goals when adversity strikes. He helps us learn how to overcome fear and refuse to be a victim of circumstances by realizing what part of our circumstances we can control. Henry knows from personal experience that learning these lessons and making these changes is not easy. He states: “It was a challenging process. I had to confront some hard truths about myself and my past. But I knew it was the only way to move forward and create something positive from this experience.” He discusses how he used his time in prison as an opportunity to grow and change, to read more than 700 books on personal growth and development, and to begin the journey that ultimately led him from prison to prosperity by taking 100 percent responsibility for his life. The results Henry achieved are beyond impressive. Best of all, the road to those results is practical. No matter your adversities, Henry offers advice to help you discover and unleash your potential.

Download or read book Unleashed written by Frances Frei and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unleashed is worth an afternoon of your time, whether or not you are already a leader. It is sparkily written and personal, drawing on the experiences of co-authors (and spouses) Frei and Morriss."— Financial Times Leadership isn't easy. It takes grit, courage, and vision, among other things, that can be hard to come by on your toughest days. When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice, they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and own your natural-born strengths and fix any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies. Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview. They argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley, the origins of great leadership are found, paradoxically, not in worrying about your own status and advancement, but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential. Unleashed provides radical advice for the practice of leadership today. Showing how the boldest, most effective leaders use a special combination of trust, love, and belonging to create an environment in which other people can excel, Frei and Morriss offer practical, battle-tested tools—based on their work with companies such as Uber, Riot Games, WeWork, and others—along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience, to make these ideas come alive. This book is your indispensable guide for unleashing greatness in other people . . . and, ultimately, in yourself. To learn more, please visit theleadersguide.com.

Download or read book Leadership Is Language written by L. David Marquet and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wall Street Journal Bestseller From the acclaimed author of Turn the Ship Around!, former US Navy Captain David Marquet, comes a radical new playbook for empowering your team to make better decisions and take greater ownership. You might imagine that an effective leader is someone who makes quick, intelligent decisions, gives inspiring speeches, and issues clear orders to their team so they can execute a plan to achieve your organization's goals. Unfortunately, David Marquet argues, that's an outdated model of leadership that just doesn't work anymore. As a leader in today's networked, information-dense business climate, you don't have full visibility into your organization or the ground reality of your operating environment. In order to harness the eyes, ears, and minds of your people, you need to foster a climate of collaborative experimentation that encourages people to speak up when they notice problems and work together to identify and test solutions. Too many leaders fall in love with the sound of their own voice, and wind up dictating plans and digging in their heels when problems begin to emerge. Even when you want to be a more collaborative leader, you can undermine your own efforts by defaulting to command-and-control language we've inherited from the industrial era. It's time to ditch the industrial age playbook of leadership. In Leadership is Language, you'll learn how choosing your words can dramatically improve decision-making and execution on your team. Marquet outlines six plays for all leaders, anchored in how you use language: • Control the clock, don't obey the clock: Pre-plan decision points and give your people the tools they need to hit pause on a plan of action if they notice something wrong. • Collaborate, don't coerce: As the leader, you should be the last one to offer your opinion. Rather than locking your team into binary responses ("Is this a good plan?"), allow them to answer on a scale ("How confident are you about this plan?") • Commit, don't comply: Rather than expect your team to comply with specific directions, explain your overall goals, and get their commitment to achieving it one piece at a time. • Complete, not continue: If every day feels like a repetition of the last, you're doing something wrong. Articulate concrete plans with a start and end date to align your team. • Improve, don't prove: Ask your people to improve on plans and processes, rather than prove that they can meet fixed goals or deadlines. You'll face fewer cut corners and better long-term results. • Connect, don't conform: Flatten hierarchies in your organization and connect with your people to encourage them to contribute to decision-making. In his last book, Turn the Ship Around!, Marquet told the incredible story of abandoning command-and-control leadership on his submarine and empowering his crew to turn the worst performing submarine to the best performer in the fleet. Now, with Leadership is Language he gives businesspeople the tools they need to achieve such transformational leadership in their organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Motivation Manifesto is a poetic and powerful call to reclaim your life and find your own personal freedom from Brendon Burchard – the world’s #1 high performance coach and #1 New York Times bestselling author of High Performance Habits. “It’s a triumphant work that transcends the title, lifting the reader from mere motivation into a soaringly purposeful and meaningful life. I love this book." —Paulo Coelho The Motivation Manifesto is a call to claim our personal power. World-renowned high performance trainer Brendon Burchard reveals that the main motive of humankind is the pursuit of greater Personal Freedom. We desire the grand liberties of choice—time freedom, emotional freedom, social freedom, financial freedom, spiritual freedom. Only two enemies stand in our way: an external enemy, defined as the social oppression of who we are by the mediocre masses, and an internal enemy, a sort of self-oppression caused by our own doubt and fear. The march to Personal Freedom, Brendon says, can be won only by declaring our intent and independence, stepping into our personal power, and battling through self-doubt and the distractions of the day until full victory is won. Recalling the revolutionist voices of the past that chose freedom over tyranny, Brendon motivates us to free ourselves from fear and take back our lives once and for all. In this life-changing personal growth book, Brendon presents his nine declarations for personal power and motivation, drawing on insights from his own personal journey and from the lives of some of history's greatest leaders and thinkers. Each chapter focuses on one of the nine declarations, offering practical strategies and exercises to help you apply these principles to your life. Whether you're seeking to overcome self-doubt, boost your confidence, or achieve your goals, The Motivation Manifesto is an invaluable guide to unlocking your full potential. With its inspiring message and actionable advice, this bestselling book is a must-read for anyone who wants to unleash their inner greatness with the power of determination, resilience, and an empowering mindset.
