We are suffering from a severe lack of good leadership-even though billions of dollars per year are spent on leadership training and development.The root cause of this leadership vacuum is that leadership gurus firmly believe, teach, and preach that anyone can be 'made' into a leader with the right training, personal desire, and commitment. With this premise, they've approached leadership as a commonplace and elementary skill that anyone can learn. There's just one problem: they're wrong. In this guidebook on leadership, you'll learn about all aspects of leadership, including:how to look past personality profiles, leadership models, and traditional assessment tools to grasp what makes a great leader;how to identify and select natural born leaders to achieve your objectives;how to deal with poor leaders who hurt you and your organization.Leadership DNA examines the false premise that anyone can be a leader and provides insights and tools that lead to a better system of identifying, selecting, and developing born leaders.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - There have been volumes upon volumes written about the US Constitution, but many of them just confuse things. William James, a longtime student of the US Constitution, relies on James Madison, its recognized father, as well as Alexander Hamilton and John Jay to reveal the document's true meaning in this detailed analysis. James reveals what the Founding Fathers really intended the Constitution to do, and he also shares forgotten truths, such as: ¿ 'Natural born' means that a child is born from parents who are both citizens of the United States. ¿ The Second Amendment simply recognizes two unalienable rights; one is the right of free states to organize a militia, and the other is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. ¿ Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal is believed by many to have prolonged and exacerbated the Great Depression. More importantly, the New Deal was unconstitutional. James also explores how politicians consistently come up short in applying constitutional principles and how lawyers deliberately confuse people about the Constitution's meaning. Stop accepting what politicians say at face value, and empower yourself with the knowledge you need to stand up for your rights with The Constitution and What It Means.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Jerry Jaffe makes an exciting entrance on the literary stage with his intriguing debut novel, One More Time, Jennie Darling, a story that pulls you in and doesn't let go, with a twist that's too good to give away.' -Stefan Schumacher, author of Death by Strip Mall'In this ingenious take on 'Be careful what you wish for; you may get it,' Steve Dennis' big break comes with show biz's heaviest price tag. Shades and shadows lurk throughout Jerry Jaffe's debut novel as he explores the double-edged sword that is fame; in a world where sincerity is elusive, his hapless hero parades through venues of self-destruction, inhaling the most dangerous drug of all: illusion.'-Gary McLouth, author of Do No Harm and Natural Causes'Characterization is Jaffe's calling card: he has 'cast' this Hollywood novel with credible, engaging people, from the 'names above the title' to the 'supporting players'. His narrative is rife with the plausible surprises that comprise the Holy Grail of fiction. The book is also cleverly and elegantly structured, with several chilling echoes and repetitions-for effect, a few well-timed point-of-view shifts, and an italicized set-piece at the novel's dead center that will take your breath away. This may be the story of a nightmare, but the craft of it, the writing itself That's the stuff of dreams.'-Paul McComas, author of Unforgettable, Planet of the Dates, and Unplugged, from his Foreword.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Title of the book is 'Don't Be a Foolish Virgin!' The sub-title is 'Confessions of a Foolish Virgin.' When God gave me this title a few years ago, I did not understand what he wanted me to write. As I was studying the Bible a few years later, I came across this scripture, 'Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard anything like this A most horrible thing has been done by Virgin Israel. Jeremiah 18:13 (NIV) and in Amos 5:1-2a says, Listen, you people of Israel! Listen to this funeral song I am singing: 'The virgin Israel has fallen. 'Virgin' is the Children of Israel, in current day we too are the Children of Israel. All of us are included. My Introduction starts with one of my favorite scriptures, 'But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over. Jeremiah 18:4. God is giving me an extreme makeover.This book is my story of how God showed me his unconditional love. You will learn what sin is, where sin came from, when and why we sin, who has sinned and the side-effects of sin. You will walk through forgiveness, asking and accepting forgiveness, and forgiving yourself and others. My goal is to help you focus on your state of mind when you fall and prepare you to avoid the attacks of the enemy. Your eyes will be opened to God's unconditional love for you as you read about Hosea's obedience to God by marrying Gomer, a harlot, to show his unconditional love for the Children of Israel. Do you know what your 'special needs' are If not, you'll find out. I'll briefly discuss our opportunities to share with others how God has comforted and forgiven us. There is a personal Spiritual Assessment at the end of the book. This fifteen page assessment is for the reader to examine themselves. To guide them as to what areas of their lives that needs attention. God is waiting.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book is the third volume of journal selections (2007-2011). Volume I included an Introduction and some biographical memories. As with the previous two volumes, the major events of life claim little diaristic attention, the overlooked or insignificant habitually capturing the author's attention. Most journals or not Elektronisches Buch of eminent writers conclude with their relative youth, when they pick up the pen to create an imaginative retrospective journey, so there is little available of aging journal-keepers describing the downward journey. Those who maintained journals intime, or other forms of introspective writing, were rarely long lived, so there is little available of the aging journal-keeper describing the downward journey. Added to this is the paucity of proximal contemporaries who share or admit to the narrowing path, seeking instead the rejuvenations of youth. 'I unavoidably focus on the early twilight of this narrowing journey, lead me where it shall.' Those interested in a more event-filled diary will find scant reportage in these pages.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Church was put here to do the work of ministry but somehow we have gotten off course. We spent decades arguing among ourselves about everything from our naval, the rapture, hymns versus choruses and eternal security while the devil laughs his butt off. In the meantime, abortion became legal, evolution became fact, living together became a way of life and the divorce rate in the church became higher than in the world. Hell risks being over-crowded, the homeless starve, young girls are sold as sex slaves and the church has become irrelevant. I don't believe this is what Christ had in mind when He gave His life on the cross of Calvary.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Inner Voice of the Heart' is a collection of poems written duringlate 2008 through mid-2012. Each of them resulted from personal thoughts and experiences and from reading God's Word. Before writing down these words I processed them through my heart to be blessed by the Holy Spirit. Listening to the inner voice of the heart opens up the Truth of being. It takes practice, patience and faith to hear and understand as the Holy Spirit responds, conveys and directs the Truth through the magic of the heart. My hope is that each reader will use these poems as a guide and a catalyst to gain insight into the power and love of the Holy Spirit, who was sent as a Comforter by the love and grace of Jesus Christ.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In 1946, twenty-year old Gertrude Segelman sailed for Palestine, looking to reconnect with a father who had left when she was six to follow his Zionist dream. What she found was an incredible adventure. In her first year, she dodged British soldiers to build illegal settlements, worked the earth for the first time on a kibbutz, changed her name to Tova, and married Mordechai Eizik, an Irgun idealist living in a tiny village on the Syrian border. When she married Mordechai, and moved to far-flung Mishmar HaYarden to join his Irgun pioneer group, Tova found herself sandwiched between two hostile forces: the Syrians just across the Jordan River, and the powerful socialist Mapai party that controlled most of the Jewish arms and fighting men. It was no surprise that the Syrian army was able to conquer Mishmar Ha Yarden in the 1948 war. The surprising part was that Tova and Mordechai survived. In this poignant memoir, Tova tells a story of the tumultuous birth years of Israel from the perspective of a naïve but gutsy American girl left on the margins of the Jewish state. Tragic, funny and stranger than fiction, it is tribute to the memory both of Mordechai and of Mishmar HaYarden, and to Tova's amazing strength and big personality.…
