Product Description:
In today's world, yesterday's methods just don't work. Veteran coach and management consultant David Allen recognizes that time management is useless the minute your schedule is interrupted; setting priorities isn't relevant when your e-mail is down; procrastination solutions won't help if your goals aren't clear. Instead, Allen shares with readers the proven methods he has already introduced in seminars and at top organizations across the country. The key to Getting Things Done? Relaxation.
Allen's premise is simple: our ability to be productive is directly proportional to our ability to relax. Only when our minds are clear and our thoughts are organized can we achieve stress-free productivity. His seamless system teaches us how to identify, track, and-most important-choose the next action on all our tasks, commitments, and projects and thus master all the demands on our time while unleashing our creative potential. The book's stylish, dynamic design makes it easy to follow Allen's tips, examples, and inspiration to achieve what we all seek-energy, focus, and relaxed control. |

Product Description:
In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two best-selling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams. Kathryn Petersen, Decision Tech's CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: Uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down the entire company. Will she succeed? Will she be fired? Will the company fail? Lencioni's utterly gripping tale serves as a timeless reminder that leadership requires as much courage as it does insight. Throughout the story, Lencioni reveals the five dysfunctions which go to the very heart of why teams even the best ones-often struggle. He outlines a powerful model and actionable steps that can be used to overcome these common hurdles and build a cohesive, effective team. Just as with his other books, Lencioni has written a compelling fable with a powerful yet deceptively simple message for all those who strive to be exceptional team leaders. |

Product Description:
Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.
Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business. Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses.
What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.
With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages. |

Product Description:
Leadership and Self-Deception is the first book to reveal the foremost, critical cause of leadership failure. From the Arbinger Institute, a consortium of scholars, business leaders, and professionals, this book identifies self-deception as the disease at the core of all of the leadership shortcomings we see in today's organizations, and self-betrayal as the cause of the disease. It provides a new solution to the age-old problem of self-deception. This powerful solution shows that most people problems in organizations are the result of self-deceptiona problem that can be identified, isolated, and treated in a disciplined, results-oriented way. Through an entertaining and highly instructive story, this book presents a revolutionary new understanding of the nature of successful leadership, drawn from recent research and findings in philosophical psychology. It shows how self-betrayalthe act and then on-going state of going against one's ethical sense of what he or she should be doing for othersleads to self-deception, the central player in all leadership breakdowns, relationship issues, and performance problems in organizations. The book reveals how leaders who are self-deceived might as well be living in a boxtrapped, cut off from others, and blind to the truth. It illustrates how leaders trapped within this box cannot lead effectively no matter how hard they try and no matter how many skills and techniques they employ. Through vivid examples, the book shows what self-deception is, how it operates, and, most importantly, how it can be overcome. Leadership and Self-Deception demonstrates how when we understand self-deception we understand why its not enough to identify and treat leadership problems as if they were separate and distinct. Often that's what happens: we make an inventory of leadership skills and determine that a given leader doesn't provide enough feedback or doesn't take time to listen to people, or delegates without providing clear direction. But those who receive such feedback often fail to improve their leadership abilities. They may work to become more effective evaluators at one workshop, more practiced listeners at another, more directive leaders at another, and yet overlook completely the root cause of the problem. Frequently, they still are not transformed into leaders whom people want to follow. What will transform them? The authors assert that the key to leadership lies deeper than any particular behavior or skill. It lies in how we areour way of being. They reveal that, while we may behave in an infinite variety of ways, at the deep level of who we are, there are fundamentally two ways of being: the state of self-deception (like living in a box), and the state of being that is honest, straightforward, and genuine. The first is the source of leadership problems and the second the source of leadership success. While some books have identified the importance of state of being in leadership, this book shows how we come to enter one state or the other as leadersand how it is possible to change. Understanding and applying this principle is the key to leadership transformation; it is the key to becoming a consistent catalyst for success. Leadership and Self-Deception clearly demonstrates how people can stop undermining themselves and what amazing things happen when they dofreely and fully putting to work all the behavioral skills, systems, and techniques that will bring success to them and their organizations. While other books cover useful people skills, techniques, and systems of leadership, this one goes deeper, fully illuminating the source of what makes truly effective leadership. |

When it was initially written in 1987, few could have predicted that The Leadership Challenge would become one of the best-selling leadership books of all time. Now, faced with the new challenges of our unpredictable global business environment, Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner--two of the country's premier leadership experts--have completely revised and updated their classic book. Building on the knowledge base of their previous books, the third edition of The Leadership Challenge is grounded in extensive research and based on interviews with all kinds of leaders at all levels in public and private organizations from around the world. In this edition, the authors emphasize that the fundamentals of leadership are the same today as they were in the 1980s, and as they've probably been for centuries. In that sense, nothing's new. Leadership is not a fad. While the content of leadership has not changed, the context has-and in some cases, changed dramatically. |
