Summary

Change the Way You Think about Leadership 
 
At the age of thirty-three, Dr. Albert Mohler became the youngest president in the 164-year history of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was the driving force behind the school's transformation into a thriving institution with an international reputation characterized by a passionate conviction for truth. In the process he became one of the most important and prominent Christian voices in contemporary culture. 
 
What will it take to transform your leadership?  
 
Effective leaders need more than administrative skills and vision. They need to be able to change the hearts and minds of those they lead. Leadership like this requires passionate beliefs that can stand up to pressure from without and within.  
 
In this updated edition Dr. Mohler has added a new introduction and conclusion based on an additional 10 years of leadership. He has also completely rewritten the chapter "The Digital Leader." The Conviction to Lead will crystallize your convictions while revolutionizing your thinking, your decision-making, your communication, and ultimately, those you lead.   
 
"Dr. Al Mohler has written a book that shakes us up and challenges our thinking.  The Conviction to Lead is poised to become one of the all-time classic works on Christian leadership."--JIM DALY, President - Focus on the Family 
 
"Having rarely thought about leadership, I was hooked from the first chapter--to my complete surprise. This is a powerful book and gracefully written."--FRED BARNES, Executive Editor--The Weekly Standard

    Whether you're helping your child tie shoelaces, your gran with her new phone, or a boardroom of executives, if you have knowledge or skills that someone else doesn’t―and you want to help them learn―you are a teacher. To be human is to teach, so the question is: what kind of ‘teacher’ do you want to be? We’ve all been taught by someone who bored us to tears―and many of us were lucky to have teachers who made learning fun and memorable. If you’re a Gen Xer or Boomer, chances are you were taught in a ‘sit down and repeat’ style classroom. And unless you consciously choose otherwise, that’s the style you’ll default to. But there’s a better option: a learner-centred environment built on collaboration, communication and discovery. It’s more effective, more engaging―and it shifts the responsibility for learning to where it belongs: the learner. This book distils the foundations of good teaching into four core pillars and shows how to make learning in any context effective, fun and lasting. Maria’s ‘universal methodology’ is drawn from 30 years of global teaching and facilitation experience. You’ll learn how to: * Connect with learners to unlock their potential * Structure sessions for real engagement * Guide learning without lecturing * And reflect on what works―success or not. Ideal for professionals and subject-matter experts who don’t have a teaching degree (and don’t want to be a ‘Death by PowerPoint’ presenter), this audio-book is a hands-on guide to creating extraordinary learning. Includes a free 30+ page Engagement ToolKit: A Facilitator’s Guide to Breaking the Lecture Habit. All profits support volunteer teacher training in communities with limited access to quality education.

    Every time you communicate, you're trying to move someone to feel, think, and act. You're trying to make a point. But very few communicators—regardless of their purpose or position—know their points, have true points, or even understand what a point is, rendering themselves pointless. 
     
     
     
    In this expanded second edition of the bestselling Get to the Point!, Joel Schwartzberg draws on his decades of experience as a strategic communications executive and public speaking coach to deliver a masterclass in high-impact communications for the digital age. 
     
     
     
    Using his trademark encouraging and often humorous voice, Schwartzberg helps you create impactful speeches and slide presentations, emails and work chats, and Zoom and in-person meeting communications. The book will also help you conquer public speaking jitters; leverage AI tools to support—not replace—effective communication; avoid common communication pitfalls; and much more. Whether you're a C-suite executive, salesperson, scientist, or student, Get to the Point! is a blueprint for evolving your written and spoken communications from informing to inspiring and pointless to powerful.

    Disruption dominates innovation theory and practice. But disruption is destructive—displacing jobs, companies, and even entire industries. Are we missing better, and even bigger, opportunities to innovate and grow? 
     
     
     
    With three decades of research, W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne reveal another way to innovate and grow. Just as their #1 global bestseller Blue Ocean Strategy redefined the essence of strategy as creating not competing, Beyond Disruption redefines and expands the existing view of innovation by introducing a new approach—nondisruptive creation—that is free from the destructive displacement that happens when innovators set out to disrupt. 
     
     
     
    Kim and Mauborgne reveal the distinct advantages of nondisruptive creation to business and society, showing how this bold, new approach to innovation allows companies to grow while also being a force for good. With examples that cut across all sectors of the economy, this book shows: why nondisruptive creation matters to all of us and why it's about to become a lot more important in the future; how to create innovation strategies that trigger nondisruptive creation instead of disruption; how to identify and execute on nondisruptive opportunities; and how companies can more thoughtfully pursue their growth and innovation strategies in a way that better balances business and society.
