Changing and Succeeding under Any Conditions

Most of the denizens of the Antarctic penguin colony sneer at Fred, the quiet but observant scout who detects worrying signs that their home, an iceberg, is melting. Fred must cleverly convince and enlist key players, such as Louis, the head penguin; Alice, the number two bird; the intractable NoNo the weather expert; and a passle of school-age penguins if he is to save the colony. Their delightfully told journey illuminates in an unforgettable way how to manage the necessary change that surrounds us all. Simple explanatory material following the fable enhances the lasting value of these lessons. Our Iceberg Is Melting is at once charming, accessible and profound; a treat for virtually any reader.

An Extraordinary New Approach to Accelerating Success in Work and Life

New York Times bestselling author and award-winning educator Ron Clark applies his successful leadership principles to the business world in this effective and accessible guidebook, perfect for any manager looking to inspire and motivate his or her team. Includes a foreword by bestselling author and FranklinCovey executive Sean Covey.

Teamwork is crucial to the success of any business, and as acclaimed author and speaker Ron Clark illustrates, the members of any team are the key to unlocking success. Imagine a company as a bus filled with people who either help or hinder a team's ability to move it forward: drivers (who steer the organization), runners (who consistently go above and beyond for the good of the organization), joggers (who do their jobs without pushing themselves), walkers (who are just getting pulled along), and riders (who hinder success and drag the team down). It's the team leader's job to recognize how members fall into these categories, encourage them to keep the "bus" moving by working together, and know when it's time to kick the riders off.

In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? and Fish!, Move Your Bus is an accessible and uplifting business parable that illustrates Clark's expert strategies to maximize the performance of each member of a team. These easy to implement techniques will inspire employees and team leaders alike to work harder and smarter and drive the organization to succeed.

Strengthening the Spiritual Man

R. Roosevelt Thomas

Marjorie I. Woodruff

If the giraffe and elephant can adapt to each other in the workplace then a diversity-friendly atmosphere can be created in a corporation.

How a Fable about a Giraffe and an Elephant Offers New Strategies for Today's Workforce

A giraffe and an elephant consider themselves friends. But when the giraffe invites the elephant into his home, disaster strikes. The house has been designed to meet the needs of the tall, slender giraffe. The elephant smashes into doorways and walls trying to maneuver. The giraffe gently suggests aerobics and ballet classes. The elephant is unconvinced. To him, the house is the problem... R. Roosevelt Thomas, one of America's most respected experts on diversity, uses the metaphor of giraffes and elephants - insiders and outsiders - to examine our assumptions about power, influence, affirmative action, and acceptance of "the others." His richly accessible guide will have you thinking about these critical issues in a whole new way. And it will show you how to develop the quantifiable set of skills that are the essence of diversity management.~

Get the book that started the revolution! Sooner or later, all of us will be called upon to lead in some capacity. Leadership skills are vital in corporate settings, small businesses, church, community organizations, and even at home. Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward have recognized this need and have jointly created an in-depth, step-by-step guide for developing leadership skills. Launching a Leadership Revolution will teach you about leadership as both a science and an art. Utilizing an abundance of historical examples, the authors have developed a unique 5-step plan that charts a course for creating and maintaining strong leadership in any organization. The plan guides the reader through the "Five Levels of Influence":

 * Learning: a leader must be able to learn from anyone
 * Performing: persevere through failure to find success
 * Leading: extend your ability by expanding your team
 * Developing Leaders: learn to trust your people
 * Develop Leaders Who Develop Leaders: create a legacy

Launching a Leadership Revolution

Leadership is important to everyone in every endeavor in life. We are all called upon to lead at some point, and usually several points, in our lives. But leadership is a lot like art - difficult to define but we know it when we see it. For that reason this book presents the concept of leadership through the achievements of several great individuals, none of whom were perfect, but all of whom grasped the leadership challenge of their time and performed remarkably. Become the best leader you can be by learning from their examples

Revolutionary Leadership

Pieces of the Puzzle

This book is designed to build upon Launching a Leadership Revolution and Leadership Tidbits and Treasures by not only reviewing timeless leadership principles, but by focusing them upon leadership as applied by the concepts of liberty and freedom, and specifically to winning back much of what has been lost in our lands. Our intent is that this book will not only inform and educate, but equip leaders both new and experienced alike, to make an increasing difference in the fight for the first principles of freedom. As Thomas Jefferson wrote, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free...it expects what never was and will never be."

4 Principles Every Business Needs to Achieve Success and Drive Results

Focus
Accountability
Simplicity
Transparency

Business and leadership in general are fast changing worlds. But too often policies, procedures, and bureaucracy can slow necessary changes to a crawl, and negatively affect a company's bottom line.

Enter FAST.

FAST is a revolutionary approach to leadership that simplifies exactly what is needed in order to be successful. FAST is straightforward, pragmatic, and easy to follow, and will challenge you to think differently about the way you approach your business, your leadership--and your life.

FAST has been successfully used to turnaround failing projects, under-performing departments, and money-losing companies. This method of analyzing all aspects of business and leadership has been implemented in large, complex projects bringing change in record time. It has been used to help leaders, businesses, and corporations alike increase both growth and profitability. It also helped the author, Gordon Tredgold, to successfully run my first marathon at the age of fifty-two.

Whatever your goals, FAST will help you successfully achieve them.

"FAST is the best leadership book ever. Gordon has written a Bible for CEOs and their leadership teams to transform the way employees at all levels think." 

- Tammy Kling, CEO, Books on Fire - Global Bestselling Author, Futurist

 

"Reading FAST has resonated perfectly with my entrepreneurial experience--my mistakes and learning from them. This book effectively sums up things we need to keep our focus on and in the business world, if we want to not just succeed but succeed smartly! Every entrepreneur and hopeful, MUST read this!"

- Szebastian Onne, Almost Naked CEO: HQ 101, Worldwide

Taking Your Influence to the Next Level

In this perfectly compact read, #1 New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell explains how true leadership works. It is not generated by your title. In fact, being named to a position is the lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To be more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people. You need to build a team that produces not only results, but also future leaders. By combining the advice contained in these pages with skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where your influence extends beyond your immediate reach for the benefit of others. Derived from material previously published in the Wall Street Journal bestseller The 5 Levels of Leadership.
