Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
In Awaken Your Potential, leadership coach Chad Reyes becomes a type of virtual mentor to help people fulfill their maximum potential, to become leaders, and then to turn around and help others fulfill their own potential. Today’s institutions are facing a serious, global crisis that threatens to destroy how we work, live, serve, and play. No, it’s not a health or financial crisis; it’s a leadership crisis. Organizations around the world are lacking effective, competent leaders who know how to make a significant personal investment in both their organization and the people within it. More importantly, this generation of leaders isn’t awakening the untapped potential within their teams. That is a problem—perhaps the problem—that leads us into dull, dreary workdays and wholly ineffective, unsatisfying work. It’s time to change that. In Awaken Your Potential: 10 Ways to Unlock Greatness, entrepreneur, speaker, and leadership coach Chad L. Reyes will guide you in how to Make your purpose bigger than your problem. Give more than you take from others. Separate what you do from who you are. Get a valuable return on your failures. Fulfill your maximum potential—and unlock the full potential of others. Genuine, authentic leadership that unlocks others’ potential is desperately needed in every aspect of society—from our governments to our businesses, educational institutions, civic organizations, youth groups, faith communities, and households. The world needs quality leaders. Leaders aren’t born; they’re equipped!

The Scout Mindset
Author: Julia Galef
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735217556
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
"...an engaging and enlightening account from which we all can benefit."—The Wall Street Journal A better way to combat knee-jerk biases and make smarter decisions, from Julia Galef, the acclaimed expert on rational decision-making. When it comes to what we believe, humans see what they want to see. In other words, we have what Julia Galef calls a "soldier" mindset. From tribalism and wishful thinking, to rationalizing in our personal lives and everything in between, we are driven to defend the ideas we most want to believe—and shoot down those we don't. But if we want to get things right more often, argues Galef, we should train ourselves to have a "scout" mindset. Unlike the soldier, a scout's goal isn't to defend one side over the other. It's to go out, survey the territory, and come back with as accurate a map as possible. Regardless of what they hope to be the case, above all, the scout wants to know what's actually true. In The Scout Mindset, Galef shows that what makes scouts better at getting things right isn't that they're smarter or more knowledgeable than everyone else. It's a handful of emotional skills, habits, and ways of looking at the world—which anyone can learn. With fascinating examples ranging from how to survive being stranded in the middle of the ocean, to how Jeff Bezos avoids overconfidence, to how superforecasters outperform CIA operatives, to Reddit threads and modern partisan politics, Galef explores why our brains deceive us and what we can do to change the way we think.
