Whatever your political beliefs, you are likely to be concerned about the potential impact of destructive political leaders on your country and those you love. You may want to do something about this but feel limited in your ability to make a difference. Based on his extensive experience in the political world, Ira Chaleff demonstrates that we have more power than we think. But this power must be used in timely and politically savvy ways. He unpacks the choices for action depending on our circle of influence in relation to leaders--both those we support and oppose--and identifies the window of opportunity for interrupting a progression from governance to tyrannical rule. The window in which you need to act before it closes. Chaleff spent thirty years with a non-partisan organization in Washington, D.C., working to improve communication between constituents and their elected representatives. He has seen the best and worst of both Democrats and Republicans. He understands the influential role played by their staffs and constituents. He will show you, too, how to make a difference. Building on the success of his award-winning books, The Courageous Follower and Intelligent Disobedience, Chaleff's timely new book provides a map for creating better political leadership--the leadership we crave for our communities and our nation - through better followership. His work with the US Congress took him to engagements in countries struggling to establish viable democracies after years of dictatorial rule. His work with federal executive-branch agencies gave him further insight into the relationship of elected officials, their political appointees, and career civil servants. Even readers with long histories of government service will find new ways of navigating the dilemmas they face. Chaleff's ideas on leadership, and his unique perspective on followership, have found their way into the cultures of the US military and civilian agencies, and globally in institutions such as the European Union, the British Army, and African and Asian leadership development programs. He has served on the board of the International Leadership Association and was a visiting leadership scholar at Churchill College, The University of Cambridge, England. He continues to work with the global followership community and to write and lecture from his home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

That's on Me: Seasoned Executives Confess Their Rookie Mistakes

Take control of your life, and start pursuing your one, true purpose! Have you ever wondered why some people just seem to have life all figured out? Why do many kids imagine what they want their lives to be like when they grow up, and only some achieve those goals? For author and business owner Reed Nyffeler, the answer is deceptively simple: You must first identify your priorities, develop strong habits, then discover and passionately pursue your unique purpose. But, as he will be the first to admit, sticking with it takes intentionality and discipline. In Transform through Purpose, you will discover how to find your purpose so you can live your life of purpose on purpose instead of by default. Nyffeler takes you behind the curtain in the life of someone who grew up with a relentless drive to achieve his goals and demonstrates the way he uses self-awareness, a confident mindset, and a strong faith every day to identify and--consistently--act on his highest priorities in life. Transform through Purpose imparts thoughts and sequential disciplines designed to guide people who are determined to live a more intentional and purposeful life, irrespective of their current starting point. Using tangible examples and practical advice, Nyffeler reveals how you, too, can create meaning and build a legacy that benefits yourself and others by identifying, pursuing, and, ultimately, achieving your one, true purpose in life.

Lior Arussy's latest book, Dare to Author! is a call for people to write--and therefore own--their life's story, even when events are unexpected and don't always turn out the way we want. The book is a manifesto and a guide to converting life experiences into future strength, resilience, and development and, in the process, transforming ourselves from victims to victors. Incorporating unique personal insights and his own professional experiences, Arussy carefully describes the challenges and dangers of living life authored by circumstances, social pressures, or other people, and he provides a proactive way to process and convert life experiences into future resilience, strength, and development. If we are not converting life experiences into authored chapters of our own life story, we are blocking our ability to grow and manage future challenges. Readers will come away inspired, confident and ready to act with three important concepts-- - A reality check/wake-up call asking Who is authoring your life's story? and an explanation of why readers may not have authored their own life thus far. - A process to start writing the reader's story by crafting chapters that will develop resilience and a growth toolbox for life. - An understanding of the application of the Authoring Process to professional and personal situations, making that authoring process more relevant and accessible. Readers from broad backgrounds who are looking for guidance in how to live and lead in the best way possible, in personal relationships and professional life, will finish this book with the following thoughts: It's about me. He gets me. I am not alone. My feelings are real. I can do it. I can take control of my life. It is a choice to become the victor. I refuse to default to victimhood. I am hopeful. Lior Arussy is a seven-time author and one of the world's leading authorities on customer experience, transformation, and change, and the founder of the transformation firm Strativity Group. Arussy helped some of the world's leading brands such as Mercedes Benz, Delta Airlines, Walmart, FedEx, Johnson & Johnsons and MasterCard to author the next chapter in their success.

A judgment-free handbook on parenting kids in all their uniqueness We all want to raise independent, confident children, but unfortunately, there's no one right way to parent that we can all learn. Each child is unique, and each mom and dad has their own ideas on parenting, often influenced by the way they were raised. The Imperfect Parent shows us how we can celebrate those differences, embracing the individuality of our kids, carrying on the successful practices our parents demonstrated, and learning from their--and our--mistakes. A mom of two boys, author Kate Hamilton is no stranger to parenting struggles, and she knows well that anyone who thinks they can parent error-free is just kidding themselves. This book is an honest look at her parenting triumphs and failures and what parents everywhere can learn from both. She explains: - How to handle parenting advice from others - How to communicate well with your partner or co-parent - How to help your children discover their identities - How to have conversations with your kids about uncomfortable topics > And that just scratches the surface! Recognizing that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to raising kids, The Imperfect Parent teaches you how to forge a path that works best for your family.

He survived the loss of his mother in childbirth.His grieving father became a man of God.>At 14, Lane Belding needed to get in trouble ... almost any kind would do. It was the Eisenhower Fifties, and the meanest bully at school was coming after him. Lane knew exactly why-Lane looked just like the bright, popular, A-student minister's son he was. But if he got in a little trouble, it would prove to the bully he was "okay." So he turned to "Reno," his secret, rebellious inner self. Reno knew all about trouble. And the plan worked! But unfortunately, getting in trouble necessarily involved Lane's disciplinarian father. And as the respected minister of Palo Alto's elite Episcopal church, Lane's widower father had no sense of humor. None. Coming of age in the so-called "conformist" Fifties, Lane and his friends were finding it just as difficult to grow up as in any other teen generation. And for high-spirited Lane to capitulate to the Draconian restrictions of his strict Canadian father ... well, he refused. He was hungry to experiment with "wrong" things-smoking cigarettes, finding out about girls, drinking beer, sneaking out at night. His friends' parents took such things in stride. But when Lane got a short haircut his father hated, he was grounded not for a few days but two long months-until it grew out! His father was the church's "spiritual leader," but to Lane, a defenseless and furious captive of the household, his father was hateful. Conceding to his Victorian standards was to surrender Lane's own life spirit! In his misery, Lane Belding finds an unlikely ally. His father's young curate at church, seeing into Lane's pain, becomes a sympathetic confidante ... and just in time! Lane and his friends are entering a period when teen experimentation leads to serious consequences. Teen pregnancy, destructive drinking, vandalism, encounters with the police ... all enter their young lives, threatening the direst consequences. The consequences are so profound, in fact, that at their peak, they expose Lane's father and his own desperately twisted ethics. In his father's house are many mansions ... someambitious young Lane Belding dared not enter ...>In deceptively serene 1950s Palo Alto, decadesbefore Silicon had a "valley," finding his way wasa solitary safari across threatening lands ...through violent, soul-defining choices ... casting>But Lane Belding would find a way. Life, in allits conflicts, false starts and misguided truths, wasworth the battle. He would find his way -- or goout with one very loud bang!
