No AI, No AI translated by Eduard Wagner What is happening today is very surprising. Are people only interested in enriching themselves and oppressing others? There should be peaceful coexistence and not always just wars and other conflicts. As I have been in the IT sector for decades, I started writing my own books about 2 years ago and this also showed its success.

To know who you are is the perennial question of leadership. A leader will never understand the world and their role within it, until they understand where they are looking from. Such a leader will inevitably not lead but be led. This important book explores the paradox of self-reference that lies at the heart of leadership – ie, the story of ego. It examines the assumptions that have shaped the conventional view of leadership and offers a radical new paradigm and way to lead. The author explores the important role that ego plays within individual leaders. It looks at how ego has emerged as a new “meta ego” – the coordinated, collective expression of ego that is polarizing our world today. And through a new leadership manifesto (a set of 8 conscious imperatives that offer a new vision for transcending the ego), the author provides a pathway for leaders to rethink today’s conventions and what great leadership really means.Show book

With today’s marketplace changing at lightning speed, how can entrepreneurs spend the traditional several months perfecting their business plans and finding investors before finally launching their business? They can’t! Because the truth is, the longer they take to launch their company, the more changes there will be in the marketplace--causing their business to be outdated before it even begins! Today’s entrepreneurs must avoid the temptation to play it safe and launch a business in a bubble. Instead, they need to embrace the idea of “failing fast.” Almost upon genesis of the idea, it is detrimental for the entrepreneur to connect with real customers and determine quickly whether their idea is worth pursuing, needs new direction, or should be abandoned altogether. In the groundbreaking, tell-it-like-it-is Fail Fast or Win Big, entrepreneurs will learn how to: Create a rapid prototype of their product or serviceDevelop a business model instead of a business planTest it repeatedly with customers so they can spot failure earlyContinue to refine the model based on customer interactionsLeverage their network and resources in order to run lean Complete with real-life examples of entrepreneurs who set out to fail fast and ended up winning big, Fail Fast or Win Big is the business plan you didn’t study in college. But just like the marketplace, those outdated concepts have changed too! Figures are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.Show book
Not every leader is in a management position and not all people in management positions are leaders. This book identifies several of the traits of the most effective leaders across the different hierarchies of an organization and provides an insight to how they differentiate themselves from the pack. While not a checklist for how to get promoted, it is a tool that one can evaluate oneself against to see how well they relate. If you are in a management position, the book does highlight areas that will have an impact on whether your team will go beyond the respect for the title or position you have, to more of a respect and trust of you as an individual. A quick read, somewhat entertaining, but with real life examples, the book is meant to be a somewhat reference guide to be referred to when needed.Show book
This book on leadership draws inspiration from religious teachings to emphasize the importance of influencing others through persuasion, kindness, and genuine love. The author, drawing from personal experiences since the age of 17 and learning from various mentors and organizations, aims to share practical insights rather than compete with established leadership literature. Highlighting the distinction between mere management and true leadership, the author underscores the significance of sincere influence in fostering loyalty and effectiveness. The narrative weaves through experiences in different roles, from Pizza Hut to leadership courses like Wood Badge, emphasizing a holistic approach to leadership development. Ultimately, the author credits their motivation to their faith in Jesus Christ, viewing him as the ultimate exemplar of leadership.Show book
