  Do you want to lead like a business professional—or a Neanderthal? This book breaks our millennia-old leadership mold to provide the skills for real, lasting success in today's business worldFor too long, humans have been following others based largely on that person's sense of physical strength, appearance, and dominance. It's a model that dates back to the Neanderthals and which, incredibly, we continue to apply—consciously or not.The Power of Evolved Leadership establishes a new standard for leadership. It shifts you away from a leadership profile of power, command, and control to move your toward the nuance of motivation, inspiration, and, most critically, the shedding of "ego." The author bases his perspective and methods on close studies and personal interviews of many of today's most successful leaders.

  What Are Story Grid Beats? 
  We think about the story creation process (writing) as one big “problem.”   
  You simply want to travel from where you are right now (without a story that works) to a place where your story takes on a life of its own. It works. 
  We submit to you that the practical way to unpack that very big problem is by breaking it into smaller, more easily solvable units.   
  Just as performers break down acting challenges into moment to moment micro-actions they call beats, so do Story Grid Beat books break your story problems into specific high-resolution mini-puzzles.  
  They’re like global positioning system reports for when you find yourself lost on your author’s journey. And once they clearly define the problem at hand, they offer procedural advice about how best to reframe your approach and solve it in your own unique way.  
  After all, you can’t begin to solve a problem until you clearly know what it is. You Are Not the Problem. The Problems are the Problem.

  Conflict Management

  In many workplaces today, the word manager has become identical with term go-between. Conflict management is one of the most protuberant, and often most stimulating, parts of leadership in today’s staff. Though, no matter how hard managers try to keep a conflict-free work setting, employee conflict is almost always unavoidable. 
  Conflict can grow from a number of subjects. Perceptions of preference, pride, return discrepancies or even individual problems. The reasons for the fight are so varied and random that managers need to expect that conflict is going to arise. In some circumstances, this conflict can be very expressive in nature; in others, it can be as simple as a miscommunication. In either state, a small problem can easily grow into a large issue. 
  Any occupational will have workers who don’t get laterally from time to time. Whether it’s since of changes in their personalities, existences, opinions or some other factor, occasionally staffs just don’t mesh. And when there’s discord in the workplace, it affects everybody. The resultant tautness not only makes the office environment painful – but it can also have an impact on your business’s productivity negatively. 
  The old proverb that iron hones iron represents the plus of the situation. Handled beneficially, employee conflict can lead to good competition, process improvements, innovation, and enhanced creativity. 
  This book gives you a perfect glimpse of how you can handle work conflict, what causes it and how to resolve it.

  Leading with Gratitude - Eight...

  The influential New York Times bestselling authors—the "apostles of appreciation" Chester Elton and Adrian Gostick—provide managers and executives with easy ways to add more gratitude to the everyday work environment to help bolster moral, efficiency, and profitability. 
  Workers want and need to know their work is appreciated. Showing gratitude to employees is the easiest, fastest, most inexpensive way to boost performance. New research shows that gratitude boosts employee engagement, reduces turnover, and leads team members to express more gratitude to one another—strengthening team bonds. Studies have also shown that gratitude is beneficial for those expressing it and is one of the most powerful variables in predicting a person's overall well-being—above money, health, and optimism. The WD-40 Company knows this firsthand. When the leadership gave thousands of managers training in expressing gratitude to their employees, the company saw record increases in revenue. 
  Despite these benefits, few executives effectively utilize this simple tool. In fact, new research reveals "people are less likely to express gratitude at work than anyplace else." What accounts for the staggering chasm between awareness of gratitude's benefits and the failure of so many leaders to do it—or do it well? Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton call this the gratitude gap. In this invaluable guide, they identify the widespread and pernicious myths about managing others that cause leaders to withhold thanks. 
  Gostick and Elton also introduce eight simple ways managers can show employees they are valued. They supplement their insights and advice with stories of how many of today's most successful leaders—such as Alan Mulally of Ford and Hubert Joly of Best Buy—successfully incorporated gratitude into their leadership styles. 
  Showing gratitude isn't just about being nice, it's about being smart—really smart—and it's a skill that everyone can easily learn.

  Are you ready to get started with laying a foundation for your future, using a tried and true passive income avenue? 
  Then you’re ready to learn about investing in index funds. 
  Unlike more traditional forms of mutual fund investments, which are actively managed by the investor or by the broker, investing in index funds results in passive income: meaning that after the initial investment, you don’t need to put regular time, effort, or expense into your investment. Since you, as the investor, don’t need the help of analysts and managers to give you advice on what to invest in, it cuts down on the expenses necessary to maintain your portfolio. And many experts say that passive investments actually perform better than actively managed, higher-risk investments. Index funds are one way to work along with the market, rather than trying to play against it and win. 
  Passive income created through index funds is a great way to build for your future, including creating a higher return for your retirement income. 
  Index Funds: Passive Income Idea for Complete Beginners—A Stock Marketing Investment Strategy that Withstood the Test of Time will help you build your future from the ground up. Read this book to learn the following: 
  The basic terms and meanings you need to know, including indexing, benchmarks, management expense ratio, and portfoliosThe most popular indexes in use today, and whyHow index funds compare to passively managed fundsPros and cons of an index fund accountWhat passive income can do for your futureSuccess stories brought about by index fundsWhy index funds are recommended for building up your retirement income, andHow to get started with your own portfolio 
  Regardless of what stage of life you’re in, it’s never too soon to put your income to work for you via investments. Now is the time to start thinking about your future! 
  Let this book be your best guide to a reliable source of passive income.
