The Great Leader
Author: Jim Harrison
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 0802195083
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
“A wild ride . . . [and] a thoroughly enjoyable tale of religion, sex and money . . . this is not your grandfather’s detective novel.” —Tim McNulty, The Seattle Times New York Times–bestselling author Jim Harrison has won international acclaim for his masterful body of work, including Returning to Earth, Legends of the Fall, and over thirty books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. In this enthralling, witty, and expertly crafted novel, he follows one man on a hunt for an elusive cult founder, dubbed “The Great Leader.” On the verge of retirement, Detective Sunderson begins to investigate a hedonistic cult, which has set up camp near his home in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. At first, the self-declared Great Leader seems merely a harmless oddball, but as Sunderson and his sixteen-year-old sidekick dig deeper, they find him more intelligent and sinister than they realized. Recently divorced and frequently pickled in alcohol, Sunderson tracks his quarry from the woods of Michigan to a town in Arizona, filled with criminal border-crossers, and on to Nebraska, where the Great Leader’s most recent recruits have gathered to glorify his questionable religion. But Sunderson’s demons are also in pursuit of him. “Jim Harrison is unsurpassed at chronicling man’s relationship with wilderness . . . The Great Leader is hugely enjoyable.” —Tom Bissell, Outside Magazine

You know you have hit your stride as an outstanding leader when your life suddenly becomes not just better, but also easier. When you discover your authentic leadership style, a whole new world opens up to you, filled with more: more growth and profit, more personal success and happiness. The key? Stop trying to be someone you are not. Stop trying to cover up the things that you don't do well and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Though it may seem paradoxical, the less you focus on indiscriminate perfection and the more you relax and lean into your true strengths, the faster you will find your most effective personal leadership style.Outstanding leadership doesn't happen because we develop more power and control. It happens because we let go and allow ourselves, and those around us, to be our personal bests. We each bring our unique strengths to the game, and it makes the team better overall because everyone is playing to their strengths. To an outstanding leader, the responsibility to lead others becomes an honor and a privilege to build and hone the best team possible. The results are incredible: more goals and objectives accomplished, more growth and profit, more engagement, more happiness, and more success. And don't forget: success begets success and leading a team that is winning is a lot more fun than leading a team that is always struggling or failing.The outstanding leader enjoys:¿Less stress and more freedom from anxiety about "not being good enough" as a leader¿Less frustration about what their team members are not doing¿More certainty about what their team members will do to accomplish goals and objectives¿More influence based on authentic and vulnerable relationships You, too, can live a better, more fulfilling, and happier life as an outstanding leader. This book will show you how to get there.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.
