Determining Leadership Potential
Author: Kimberly Janson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000631346
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
We are in the midst of a leadership crisis that is derailing business success, and it’s time to get rigorous about talent. This book will show you how, with an effective and consistent framework, to help galvanize decision-makers around leadership potential. Time and time again, organizations place too many leaders in roles they are not a good fit for. The financial, strategic, and human costs of poor leadership are staggering and unnecessary. But organizations that effectively identify high-potential talent are likely to financially outperform those that do not do this work by a factor of 4.2 to 1, not to mention all the other positive impacts. Backed by the authors’ research, including a study with 50+ global CEOs, the insights and strategies packed into this book will help you eliminate the shocking variation that exists in how people think about determining leadership potential – and empower decision-makers to be game-changers to optimize their organizations. For too long, leadership potential has been treated as an imprecise art and inconsistently applied. CEOs, board members, senior managers, and HR professionals will welcome the thought-provoking insights and practical tools this book gives to build a pipeline of strong leaders.

Breadcrumbs from Heaven
Author: Julia E. Savitsky
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728348722
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
When her daughter, Allison, was ten years old, she asked her mom if they could buy a horse. Her daughter was told to "ask God for the horse she wanted" and that if it was His will, He would provide one. The very next morning, ten hours after praying to God, the phone rang, and the very horse she had prayed for was given to her. This was the first in a series of miraculous steps or "breadcrumbs from Heaven" as our extraordinary God laid out a step-by-step journey for a very ordinary family. This story is about God’s desire to be invited in and involved in our daily lives; every decision, big or small. You don’t have to be a theologian, a religious, a mystic or prophet. God loves each of us, just the way we are, and doesn’t want to hear from us only on Sunday or just when we are desperate for healing or help. Follow the journey of trust, faith and “hands on” guidance and encouragement with one God-incidence after another, as the Savitsky family followed God’s promptings in going from the suburbs of Westfield, to an empty bean field in Sheridan and building a ministry to serve children with special needs. Reins of Grace Therapeutic Riding Center (a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt corporation) uses horses, goats, chickens, and beautiful gardens as respite, hope and healing for families with children with special needs. Our Mission is to offer services to all families who come to Reins of Grace, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

John Calvin's American Legacy
Author: Thomas Davis
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199741727
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Though his influence on American society has often been forgotten or misunderstood, John Calvin played a formative role in the traditions of almost every sector of American life. This wide-ranging study, comprising twelve essays, shows for the first time the extraordinary extent to which Calvinist thoughts and practices are woven into the fabric of American society, theology, and letters, from the colonial period to the twenty-first century. John Calvin's American Legacy examines the economics of the Colonial period, Calvin's effect on American identity, and the evidence for Calvin's influence on American democracy. The book next addresses Calvin's critical role in American theology, inspecting the relationship between Jonathan Edwards's and Calvin's church practices, the diverse views on the Calvinist theological tradition in the nineteenth century, the ways in which Calvin was understood in the historiography of Williston Walker and Perry Miller, and Calvin's influence on twentieth-century theologies. Finally, the book explores Calvinism's influence on American literature, examining the work of such writers as Samson Occom, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Max Weber, Mark Twain, John Updike, and Marilynne Robinson. This important book is the first to introduces readers to the breadth and depth of Calvin's influence along the spectrum of American thought and society, from the 18th century to modern times.

* Finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry * * Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry * Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism * Winner of the NAACP Image Award * Winner of the L.A. Times Book Prize * Winner of the PEN Open Book Award * ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, Boston Globe, The Atlantic, BuzzFeed, NPR. Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Slate, Time Out New York, Vulture, Refinery 29, and many more . . . A provocative meditation on race, Claudia Rankine's long-awaited follow up to her groundbreaking book Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric. Claudia Rankine's bold new book recounts mounting racial aggressions in ongoing encounters in twenty-first-century daily life and in the media. Some of these encounters are slights, seeming slips of the tongue, and some are intentional offensives in the classroom, at the supermarket, at home, on the tennis court with Serena Williams and the soccer field with Zinedine Zidane, online, on TV-everywhere, all the time. The accumulative stresses come to bear on a person's ability to speak, perform, and stay alive. Our addressability is tied to the state of our belonging, Rankine argues, as are our assumptions and expectations of citizenship. In essay, image, and poetry, Citizen is a powerful testament to the individual and collective effects of racism in our contemporary, often named "post-race" society.

Slint's Spiderland
Author: Scott Tennent
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1441189416
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Of all the seminal albums to come out in 1991-the year of Nevermind, Loveless, Ten, and Out of Time, among others-none were quieter, both in volume and influence, than Spiderland, and no band more mysterious than Slint. Few single albums can lay claim to sparking an entire genre, but Spiderland-all six songs of it-laid the foundation for post rock in the 1990s. Yet for so much obvious influence, both the band and the album remain something of a puzzle. This thoroughly researched book is the first substantive attempt to break through some of the mystery surrounding Spiderland and the band that made it. Scott Tennent has written a long overdue look at this remarkable album and its origins, delving into the small, insular musical universe that included bands like Squirrel Bait, Maurice, Bitch Magnet, and Bastro. The story, helped by in-depth interviews with band members David Pajo and Todd Brashear, explores the formation of Slint, the recording of Tweez, and the band's dramatic move into the sound of Spiderland.
