› Find signed collectible books: 'The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader: Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow'Book summary:Why do some people consistently inspire others to follow their lead? According to John C. Maxwell, author of 24 books and a regular speaker on the topic, it's the "character qualities" they possess. In The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, Maxwell identifies these top traits as character, charisma, commitment, communication, competence, courage, discernment, focus, generosity, initiative, listening, passion, positive attitude, problem-solving, relationships, responsibility, security, self-discipline, servanthood, teachability, and vision--and then defines them in ways that readers can absorb and utilize. Each is covered in a separate chapter opening with a high-concept definition and continuing with relevant anecdotes, details on its meaning, suggestions for further reflection, and exercises for improvement. For example, in the section on vision ("You can seize only what you can see"), Maxwell describes how Walt Disney initially developed the theme-park concept after accompanying his daughters to a fun-filled but rather shabby amusement park. He then analyzes how Disney's resultant projects drew on his personal history while meeting other's needs, and explains how readers must "listen to several voices" to develop successful foresight in a similar way. Finally, Maxwell suggests methods to articulate these visions and measure their implementation. --Howard Rothman [via]

The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership : Follow Them and People Will Follow Youby John C. Maxwell, Zig ZiglarISBN 0785274316 (0-7852-7431-6)
Hardcover, Nelson Thornes Limited

› Find signed collectible books: 'The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership : Follow Them and People Will Follow You'Book summary:John C. Maxwell offers lively stories about the foibles and successes of Lee Iacocca, Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, and Elizabeth Dole in The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. Readers can expect a well-crafted discussion that emphasizes the core attitudes and visions of leadership. Maxwell uses the same tell-it-like-it-is approach that he honed in the bestselling Developing the Leader Within You. For instance, when explaining "The Law of Influence," Maxwell states that "job titles don't have much value when it comes to leading. True leadership cannot be awarded, appointed or assigned. It comes only from influence and that can't be mandated." Even after Princess Diana was stripped of her title, Maxwell says she was still able to lead a global effort toward banning land mines because of her sophisticated ability to influence others.
If readers are looking for a step-by-step formula, Maxwell's list of "laws" will probably seem too chatty and anecdote driven. There are no specific tips on what readers can do during the next workday to help them become stronger leaders. On the other hand, Maxwell's background as a pastor gives him an inspirational voice and a spiritual context to leadership that many business and church leaders appreciate. --Gail Hudson [via]

What's the number one question leadership expert John C. Maxwell is asked while conducting his leadership conferences? "How can I implement what you teach when I'm not the top leader?"
Is it possible to lead well when you're not the top dog? How about if the person you work for is a bad leader? The answer is a resounding yes!

If you have found yourself trying to lead from the middle of the organization, as the vast majority of professionals do, then you need Maxwell's insights. You have a unique opportunity to exercise influence in all directions-up (to the boss), across (among your peers), and down (to those you lead).
The good news is that your influence is greater than you know. Practice the disciplines of 360° leadership and the opportunities will be endless... for your organization, for your career, and for your life.

› Find signed collectible books: '7 Habits Of Highly Effective People 15th Anniversary Edition'Book summary:Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companiesby James C. CollinsISBN 0060516402 (0-06-051640-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies'Book summary:This analysis of what makes great companies great has been hailed everywhere as an instant classic and one of the best business titles since In Search of Excellence. The authors, James C. Collins and Jerry I. Porras, spent six years in research, and they freely admit that their own preconceptions about business success were devastated by their actual findings--along with the preconceptions of virtually everyone else.
Built to Last identifies 18 "visionary" companies and sets out to determine what's special about them. To get on the list, a company had to be world famous, have a stellar brand image, and be at least 50 years old. We're talking about companies that even a layperson knows to be, well, different: the Disneys, the Wal-Marts, the Mercks.
Whatever the key to the success of these companies, the key to the success of this book is that the authors don't waste time comparing them to business failures. Instead, they use a control group of "successful-but-second-rank" companies to highlight what's special about their 18 "visionary" picks. Thus Disney is compared to Columbia Pictures, Ford to GM, Hewlett Packard to Texas Instruments, and so on.
The core myth, according to the authors, is that visionary companies must start with a great product and be pushed into the future by charismatic leaders. There are examples of that pattern, they admit: Johnson & Johnson, for one. But there are also just too many counterexamples--in fact, the majority of the "visionary" companies, including giants like 3M, Sony, and TI, don't fit the model. They were characterized by total lack of an initial business plan or key idea and by remarkably self-effacing leaders. Collins and Porras are much more impressed with something else they shared: an almost cult-like devotion to a "core ideology" or identity, and active indoctrination of employees into "ideologically commitment" to the company.
The comparison with the business "B"-team does tend to raise a significant methodological problem: which companies are to be counted as "visionary" in the first place? There's an air of circularity here, as if you achieve "visionary" status by ... achieving visionary status. So many roads lead to Rome that the book is less practical than it might appear. But that's exactly the point of an eloquent chapter on 3M. This wildly successful company had no master plan, little structure, and no prima donnas. Instead it had an atmosphere in which bright people were both keen to see the company succeed and unafraid to "try a lot of stuff and keep what works." --Richard Farr [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies'Book summary:Built to Last became an instant business classic. This audio abridgement is read by the authors, who alternate chapters. Collins is a bit breathlessly enthusiastic, but clear and interesting; Porras, unfortunately, is poorly inflected and wooden. They set out to determine what's special about "visionary" companies--the Disneys, Wal-Marts, and Mercks, companies at the very top of their game that have demonstrated longevity and great brand image. The authors compare 18 "visionary" picks to a control group of "successful-but-second-rank" companies. Thus Disney is compared to Columbia Pictures, Ford to GM, and so on.
A central myth, according to the authors, is that visionary companies start with a great product and are pushed into the future by charismatic leaders. Usually false, Collins and Porras find. Much more important, and a much more telling line of demarcation between a wild success like 3M and an also-ran like Norton, is flexibility. 3M had no master plan, little structure, and no prima donnas. Instead it had an atmosphere in which bright people were not afraid to "try a lot of stuff and keep what works."
If you listen to this audiocassette on your daily commute, you may discover whether you are headed to a "visionary" place of work--and, if so, whether you are the kind of employee who fits your employer's vision. (Running time: two hours, two cassettes) --Richard Farr [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Courageous Leadership'Book summary:The book you hold resonates with this conviction: that leaders such as you have the potential to be the most influential forces on planet Earth. Yours is the staggering responsibility and the matchless privilege of rallying believers and mobilizing their spiritual gifts in order to help people who are far from God become fully devoted followers of Christ. Life transformation and the eternal destinies of real people depend on the redemptive message entrusted to the local church. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to lead your church effectively so God's message of hope can change the world? Then this book is for you. Courageous Leadership is Bill Hybels' magnum opus, a book far too important to be written before its time. Only now, after nearly thirty years leading his own church from a handful of people with a burning vision into a globe-spanning kingdom force---only after almost three decades of victories and setbacks, of praying hard and risking big---is Hybels ready at last to share the lessons he has learned, and continues to learn, about Christian leadership. Too much is at stake for you not to maximize your spiritual gift of leadership, insists Hybels. In this passionate, powerful book, he unpacks the tools, tasks, and challenges of your calling. You'll discover the power of vision and how to turn it into action. You'll gain frontline insights for developing a kingdom dream team, discovering your leadership style, developing other leaders, making decisions, walking with God, embracing change, staying your God-given course, and much, much more. Drawing on his own richly varied life experiences, Hybels fleshes out vital principles with riveting firsthand stories. This is far more than another book on leadership strategies and techniques. You'll find those topics in here, to be sure. But beyond them, you'll find the very essence of one of today's foremost Christian leaders---his fervent commitment to evangelism and discipleship and his zeal to inspire fellow church leaders even as he seeks to keep growing as a leader himself. If unchurched people matter to you . . . if you love seeing believers serve passionately with their spiritual gifts . . . if God's heartbeat for the church is your heartbeat as well . . . then this book is a must. Courageous Leadership will convince you to lead with all your might, all your skill, and all your faith. And it will give you the tools to do just that. [via]

Traditional time management suggests that working harder, smarter, and faster will help you gain control over your life, and that increased control will bring peace and fulfillment. The authors of first things first disagree. In the first real breakthrough in time management in years, stephen r. Covey, a. Roger merrill, and rebecca r. Merrill apply the insights of the 7 habits of highly effective people to the daily problems of people who must struggle with the ever-increasing demands of work and home life. Rather than focusing on time and things, first things first emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness. First things first shows why we feel a gap between how we spend our time and what's deeply important to us; how focusing on efficiency and control increases the gap instead of closing it; how to determine if what you're doing is really important - or only urgent; why your inner compass is more important than any clock; how to set and achieve principle-centered goals; how to turn your weeks into an upward spiral of learning and living; how to overcome the tremendous gravity of habit; how to turn your resolutions into reality; how to put people ahead of schedules; and how to lead your life, not just manage your time. First things first offers a principle-centered approach that will transform the quality of everything you do by showing how it involves the need to live, to love, to learn, and to leave a legacy. With the wisdom andinsight that made the 7 habits of highly effective people a #1 bestseller, first things first empowers readers to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding, and balanced lives [via]

In seven chapters, the two consultants for the Gallup Organization debunk some dearly held notions about management, such as "treat people as you like to be treated"; "people are capable of almost anything"; and "a manager's role is diminishing in today's economy." "Great managers are revolutionaries," the authors write. "This book will take you inside the minds of these managers to explain why they have toppled conventional wisdom and reveal the new truths they have forged in its place."
The authors have culled their observations from more than 80,000 interviews conducted by Gallup during the past 25 years. Quoting leaders such as basketball coach Phil Jackson, Buckingham and Coffman outline "four keys" to becoming an excellent manager: Finding the right fit for employees, focusing on strengths of employees, defining the right results, and selecting staff for talent--not just knowledge and skills. First, Break All the Rules offers specific techniques for helping people perform better on the job. For instance, the authors show ways to structure a trial period for a new worker and how to create a pay plan that rewards people for their expertise instead of how fast they climb the company ladder. "The point is to focus people toward performance," they write. "The manager is, and should be, totally responsible for this." Written in plain English and well organized, this book tells you exactly how to improve as a supervisor. --Dan Ring [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable'Book summary:Once again using an astutely written fictional tale to unambiguously but painlessly deliver some hard truths about critical business procedures, Patrick Lencioni targets group behavior in the final entry of his trilogy of corporate fables. And like those preceding it, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team is an entertaining, quick read filled with useful information that will prove easy to digest and implement. This time, Lencioni weaves his lessons around the story of a troubled Silicon Valley firm and its unexpected choice for a new CEO: an old-school manager who had retired from a traditional manufacturing company two years earlier at age 55. Showing exactly how existing personnel failed to function as a unit, and precisely how the new boss worked to reestablish that essential conduct, the book's first part colorfully illustrates the ways that teamwork can elude even the most dedicated individuals--and be restored by an insightful leader. A second part offers details on Lencioni's "five dysfunctions" (absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results), along with a questionnaire for readers to use in evaluating their own teams and specifics to help them understand and overcome these common shortcomings. Like the author's previous books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive, this is highly recommended. --Howard Rothman [via]

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don'tby James C. CollinsISBN 0066620996 (0-06-662099-6)
Hardcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't'Book summary:Five years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great Collins, the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. Making the transition from good to great doesn't require a high-profile CEO, the latest technology, innovative change management, or even a fine-tuned business strategy. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner. Peppered with dozens of stories and examples from the great and not so great, the book offers a well-reasoned road map to excellence that any organization would do well to consider. Like Built to Last, Good to Great is one of those books that managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come. --Harry C. Edwards [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'How to Win Friends & Influence People'Book summary:This grandfather of all people-skills books was first published in 1937. It was an overnight hit, eventually selling 15 million copies. How to Win Friends and Influence People is just as useful today as it was when it was first published, because Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated. Financial success, Carnegie believed, is due 15 percent to professional knowledge and 85 percent to "the ability to express ideas, to assume leadership, and to arouse enthusiasm among people." He teaches these skills through underlying principles of dealing with people so that they feel important and appreciated. He also emphasizes fundamental techniques for handling people without making them feel manipulated. Carnegie says you can make someone want to do what you want them to by seeing the situation from the other person's point of view and "arousing in the other person an eager want." You learn how to make people like you, win people over to your way of thinking, and change people without causing offense or arousing resentment. For instance, "let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers," and "talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person." Carnegie illustrates his points with anecdotes of historical figures, leaders of the business world, and everyday folks. --Joan Price [via]

Leadership and the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic Worldby Margaret J. WheatleyISBN 1576753441 (1-57675-344-1)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Leadership And the New Science: Discovering Order in a Chaotic World'Book summary:When Margaret J. Wheatley's Leadership and the New Science was initially published in 1992, it outlined an unquestionably unique but extremely challenging view of change, leadership, and the structure of groups. Many readers immediately embraced its cutting-edge perspective, but others just could not understand how the complicated scientific tenets it described could be used to reshape institutions. Now Wheatley, an organizational specialist who has since coauthored A Simpler Way, updates the original by including additional material (such as an epilogue addressing her personal experiences during the past decade) and reconstructing some of her more challenging concepts. The result is a much clearer work that first explores the implications of quantum physics on organizational practice, then investigates ways that biology and chemistry affect living systems, and finally focuses on chaos theory, the creation of a new order, and the manner that scientific principles affect leadership. "Our old ways of relating to each other don't support us any longer," she writes. "It is up to us to journey forth in search of new practices and new ideas that will enable us to create lives and organizations worthy of human habitation." --Howard Rothman [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Leadership Challenge'Book summary:In the 1980s and again in the '90s, James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner published The Leadership Challenge to address issues they uncovered in research on ordinary people achieving "individual leadership standards of excellence." The keys they identified--model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, encourage the heart--have now been reexamined in the context of the post-millennium world and updated in a third edition. "What we have discovered, and rediscovered, is that leadership is not the private reserve of a few charismatic men and women," write Kouzes, chairman emeritus of the Tom Peters Company, and Posner, dean of the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. "People make extraordinary things happen by liberating the leader within everyone." After explaining their concept and methodology, the authors detail the five essentials noted above in a pair of chapters apiece that bring clarity to their theories with case studies and recommended actions. The specificity of each (motivating through "the meaningfulness of the challenge, not the material rewards of success," for example, and being able to "accept the mistakes that result from experimentation") is enhanced by advice on sustaining the commitment and making leadership skills accessible to all. The results remain as relevant as when they were first published. --Howard Rothman [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'Book summary:Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

Hardcover, Free Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Now, Discover Your Strengths'Book summary:Effectively managing personnel--as well as one's own behavior--is an extraordinarily complex task that, not surprisingly, has been the subject of countless books touting what each claims is the true path to success. That said, Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton's Now, Discover Your Strengths does indeed propose a unique approach: focusing on enhancing people's strengths rather than eliminating their weaknesses. Following up on the coauthors' popular previous book, First, Break All the Rules, it fully describes 34 positive personality themes the two have formulated (such as Achiever, Developer, Learner, and Maximizer) and explains how to build a "strengths-based organization" by capitalizing on the fact that such traits are already present among those within it.
Most original and potentially most revealing, however, is a Web-based interactive component that allows readers to complete a questionnaire developed by the Gallup Organization and instantly discover their own top-five inborn talents. This device provides a personalized window into the authors' management philosophy which, coupled with subsequent advice, places their suggestions into the kind of practical context that's missing from most similar tomes. "You can't lead a strengths revolution if you don't know how to find, name and develop your own," write Buckingham and Clifton. Their book encourages such introspection while providing knowledgeable guidance for applying its lessons. --Howard Rothman [via]

Softcover, Perseus Distribution Services
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Primal Leadership: Learning to Lead With Emotional Intelligence'Book summary:Business leaders who maintain that emotions are best kept out of the work environment do so at their organization's peril. Bestselling author Daniel Goleman's theories on emotional intelligence (EI) have radically altered common understanding of what "being smart" entails, and in Primal Leadership, he and his coauthors present the case for cultivating emotionally intelligent leaders. Since the actions of the leader apparently account for up to 70 percent of employees' perception of the climate of their organization, Goleman and his team emphasize the importance of developing what they term "resonant leadership." Focusing on the four domains of emotional intelligence--self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management--they explore what contributes to and detracts from resonant leadership, and how the development of these four EI competencies spawns different leadership styles. The best leaders maintain a style repertoire, switching easily between "visionary," "coaching," "affiliative," and "democratic," and making rare use of less effective "pace-setting" and "commanding" styles. The authors' discussion of these methods is informed by research on the workplace climates engendered by the leadership styles of more than 3,870 executives. Indeed, the experiences of leaders in a wide range of work environments lend real-life examples to much of the advice Goleman et al. offer, from developing the motivation to change and creating an improvement plan based on learning rather than performance outcomes, to experimenting with new behaviors and nurturing supportive relationships that encourage change and growth. The book's final section takes the personal process of developing resonant leadership and applies it to the entire organizational culture. --S. Ketchum [via]

The book's final section takes the personal process of developing resonant leadership and applies it to the entire organizational culture. --S. Ketchum [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change'Book summary:Amazon.co.uk Review According to Steven R. Covey, to live with security and wisdom, and to have the power to take advantages of the opportunities that change creates, we need fairness, integrity, honesty and human dignity. Quite a tall order when you consider that most of us live our lives in a permanent state of flux, questioning our ideals and values and fighting a daily battle with the lack of self-confidence that stops us from taking risks of any kind. But, in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey manages to make it sound as if changing the way we look at ourselves and the world around us so that we can become more successful both personally and professionally an absolute doddle. He defines the "habits" as "the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire" and states that the "Seven Habits" of the title are not mutually exclusive, but rather when developed together help to form a well-rounded, sensitive, confident and effective human being. As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison [via]

Lift Your Vision High
Vision is a preferred future. A destination. Vision always stands in contrast to the world as it is. Visioneering, according to bestselling author Andy Stanley, is a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be. With warm, down-to-earth practicality, Andy Stanley explores the ordinary life of Nehemiah and his God-given vision for accomplishing the extraordinary. He shows how the life of this great ancient visionary, determined to rebuild the ruined walls of Jerusalem, reveals principles that can prepare us to find and follow Gods multifaceted vision for our own lives. Now this bestseller is again available in an attractive, affordable paperback!
Everybody ends up somewhere in life.
You can end up somewhere on purpose!
Visioneering is the engineering of a vision. Its the process one follows to develop and maintain vision. Vision, writes Andy Stanley , is a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be.
In the bestselling Visioneering, Stanley builds a compelling case for the necessity of a clear, God-ordained vision for each of the roles of your life. Whether youre a parent with a vision for your children or a CEO pursuing a corporate vision, Visioneering is the perfect tool to help you develop and maintain Gods unique purpose for your life.
Visioneering is the best book on vision Ive seen. It will put you on track to discovering Gods purpose for your life. In my course The Vision of the Leader, I quote from Andys book more than any other. Visioneering should be on the bookshelf of every pastor, business leader, and parent in America . I heartily endorse it!
Dr. Bruce Wilkinson ,
Chairman, Dream for Africa
Story Behind the Book
Andy Stanley, the pastor of more than 15,000, knows a lot of people, and is well aware of the overwhelming and mutual desire nearly every Christian holds to find and fulfill Gods purpose for their lives. This book was written to stir these hearts and move people forward by providing tangible steps to getting from Point A to Point B. As Christians, states Stanley, we do not have a right to take our talents, abilities, experiences, opportunities, and education and run off in any direction we please. This book was written to provide a specific plan for going in the right direction. It truly is Gods blueprint for developing and maintaining personal vision. [via]More editions of Visioneering:

Who Moved My Cheese?by Spencer JohnsonISBN 0399147241 (0-399-14724-1)
Hardcover, Putnam Pub Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Who Moved My Cheese?'Book summary:Change can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your perspective. The message of Who Moved My Cheese? is that all can come to see it as a blessing, if they understand the nature of cheese and the role it plays in their lives. Who Moved My Cheese? is a parable that takes place in a maze. Four beings live in that maze: Sniff and Scurry are mice--nonanalytical and nonjudgmental, they just want cheese and are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. Hem and Haw are "littlepeople," mouse-size humans who have an entirely different relationship with cheese. It's not just sustenance to them; it's their self-image. Their lives and belief systems are built around the cheese they've found. Most of us reading the story will see the cheese as something related to our livelihoods--our jobs, our career paths, the industries we work in--although it can stand for anything, from health to relationships. The point of the story is that we have to be alert to changes in the cheese, and be prepared to go running off in search of new sources of cheese when the cheese we have runs out.
Dr. Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and many other books, presents this parable to business, church groups, schools, military organizations--anyplace where you find people who may fear or resist change. And although more analytical and skeptical readers may find the tale a little too simplistic, its beauty is that it sums up all natural history in just 94 pages: Things change. They always have changed and always will change. And while there's no single way to deal with change, the consequence of pretending change won't happen is always the same: The cheese runs out. --Lou Schuler [via]

Who Moved My Cheese? for Teensby Spencer JohnsonISBN 0399240071 (0-399-24007-1)
Hardcover, Putnam Pub Group
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Who Moved My Cheese? for Teens'Book summary:Having a million-plus copies of the bestselling Who Moved My Cheese? in print hasn't stopped Spencer Johnson, (The One Minute Manager) from repackaging his homily about adapting to life changes for a teenage audience.
The core of this teen book--a cheesy (literally) allegory about four characters navigating a maze in pursuit of happiness (cheese) with varying success--is identical to the cheese-quest story told in Johnson's grownup book. The only difference is that the opening and closing backstory that pads out Who Moved My Cheese? for Teens involves a group of teenagers kibbutzing in the cafeteria, not a group of adults attending their high school reunion.
Of course, it's hard to argue with the essence of Johnson's commonsense message: one of the few constants in life is change, and the sooner we learn to anticipate and adjust to change, the happier we'll be. But most criticisms of the book (and there have been many) boil down to the fact that Cheese is just too reductive and simplistic, and sometimes change in our lives can and should be resisted. (It hasn't helped that the book's popularity among corporate managers has come to be associated with layoffs... er, cheese removals.) But whatever your take on Johnson's philosophy, you'd do well to keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you can count on your teenager to form the exact opposite opinion.

Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectivaby Stephen CoveyISBN 8449304326 (84-493-0432-6)
Softcover, Paidos Iberica Ediciones S A
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Los 7 Habitos De La Gente Altamente Efectiva'Book summary:Desde 1991 en la lista semanal de libros mas vendidos del Publishers Weekly (y a menudo encabezandola), este indiscutible best-seller se merecia una puesta al dia, y eso es lo que ha hecho su autor con esta nueva edicion: la estructura general no cambia -hubiera resultado absurdo, dado su alto grado de efectividad-, solo se amplia, se extiende hacia nuevos temas y detalles que el lector sin duda agradecera. El punto de partida general, pues, sigue siendo el mismo: el hecho ineludible de que casi todo el mundo intuye que su comportamiento en la empresa podria mejorar en muchos aspectos, pero pocos saben como conseguirlo. A partir de ahi, Stephen Covey, el llamado Socrates americano, no da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonear sin ton ni son. Su metodo es claro, certero y eficiente: casi un cursillo dividido en siete etapas que el lector debera asimilar y poner en practica por su propia cuenta, adaptandolas a su personalidad y aplicandolas libremente en todos los ambitos de la vida empresarial. Para ello, el autor se sirve de anecdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la vision personal hasta la autorrenovacion equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo personal, la administracion personal, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicacion empatica y la cooperacion creativa. Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, y a traves del desarrollo de ciertos conceptos, el lector acaba comprendiendo que todo lo que hagamos debera estar de acuerdo con lo que realmente veamos. Es decir que, si queremos cambiar la situacion, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos con eficacia, en primer termino tendremos que cambiar nuestras percepciones. El resultado es la construccion de una autoconfianza a prueba de bomba a traves del desarrollo del propio caracter, de la integridad, la honestidad y la dignidad humana necesarias para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo autentico e intransferible.

› Find signed collectible books: 'El 8 Habito: De la Effectividad a la Grandeza / From Effectiveness to Greatness'Book summary:Durante los más de quince años que han transcurrido desde su publicación, Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva se ha convertido en un fenómeno internacional con más de quince millones de ejemplares vendidos. En las esferas de la empresa, el gobierno, la educación, la familia y, más importante aún, en la esfera personal, decenas de millones de personas han mejorado espectacularmente su vida y sus organizaciones aplicando los principios del clásico de Stephen R. Covey. Pero el mundo es un lugar que ha cambiado mucho. Los retos y la complejidad a los que todos nos enfrentamos en nuestras relaciones, nuestra familia, nuestra vida profesional y nuestra comunidad son de una magnitud totalmente nueva. Ser efectivos como individuos y como organizaciones ya no es una opción: sobrevivir en el mundo de hoy lo exige. Pero para prosperar, innovar, sobresalir y liderar en nuestra época, debemos partir de la efectividad para ir más ella de ella. Esta nueva era de la historia humana exige grandeza; exige logros, desempeño apasionado y una contribución importante. Acceder a los niveles más elevados del talento y de la motivación del ser humano en la nueva realidad de hoy exige un cambio radical de pensamiento: una nueva mentalidad, un nuevo conjunto de aptitudes, un nuevo instrumental; en pocas palabras, un nuevo hábito. Nuestro principal desafío en el mundo de hoy es éste: hallar nuestra voz e inspirar a los demás para que hallen la suya. Es lo que Covey llama el octavo hábito. De la misma forma que Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva nos ayudó a centrarnos en la efectividad, El octavo hábito nos muestra el camino hacia la grandeza. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Primero, Lo Primero / First Things First'Book summary:Comparable a Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva -obra que ocupó durante mucho tiempo el primer lugar entre los best-sellers en Estados Unidos-, Primero, lo Primero es una guía revolucionaria para administrar el tiempo aprendiendo a equilibrar la propia vida. Las obras tradicionales sobre administración del tiempo sostienen que trabajar más, con más inteligencia y más rapidez, permite controlar la propia vida, y que ese control es fuente de paz y satisfacción. Los autores de Primero, lo Primero no comparten esa opinión. Concretando lo que constituye el primer progreso importante acontecido en muchos años en materia de administración del tiempo, Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill y Rebecca R. Merrill aplican las revelaciones de Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente afectiva a los problemas cotidianos de las personas que deben hacer frente a las exigencias cada vez mayores del trabajo y de la vida hogareña. En lugar de centrarse en el tiempo y las cosas, Primero, lo Primero destaca las relaciones y los resultados. Y en lugar de la eficacia, este nuevo enfoque destaca la efectividad y presenta un método centrado en principios que transforma la calidad de todo lo que hacemos, al demostrarnos que ello implica la necesidad de vivir, de amar, de aprender y de dejar un legado. Con la misma sabiduría que hizo de Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente afectiva un éxito de ventas, Primero, lo Primero capacita a los lectores para decidir qué es lo verdaderamente importante, alcanzar metas valiosas y llevar una vida plena, gratificante y equilibrada.

Estos cuatro personajes dependían del queso para alimentarse y ser felices. Como habían encontrado una habitación repleta de queso, vivieron durante un tiempo muy contentos. Pero un buen día el queso desapareció...
Esta fábula simple e ingeniosa puede aplicarse a todos los ámbitos de la vida. Con palabras y ejemplos comprensibles incluso para un niño, nos enseña que todo cambia, y que las fórmulas que sirvieron en su momento pueden quedar obsoletas. El "queso" del relato representa cualquier cosa que queramos alcanzar "la felicidad, el trabajo, el dinero, el amor" y el laberinto es la realidad, con zonas desconocidas y peligrosas, callejones sin salida, oscuros recovecos... y habitaciones llenas de queso.
Escrito por un autor de fama internacional, este relato está prologado por un renombrado consultor empresarial. Sus enseñanzas han servido de inspiración en todo tipo de compañías y organizaciones empresariales. [via]
