  "The more I read the Bible, the more evident it becomes that everything I have ever taught or written about effective leadership over the past 25 years, Jesus did to perfection. He is simply the greatest leadership role model of all time." 
  Effective leadership—whether on the job, in the community, at church, or in the home—starts on the inside. In this revised classic, renowned leadership expert Ken Blanchard guides you through the process of discovering how to lead like Jesus. 
  Before you can hope to lead anyone else, you must know who you are. Every leader must answer two critical questions. One deals with your relationship to Christ. The other with your life purpose.Whose are you going to be?Who are you going to be? 
  Learning to lead like Jesus can be described as the process of aligning two internal domains (the heart and the head) and two external domains (the hands and the habits). These four dimensions of leadership form the outline for this very practical and transformational book, from which you will learn how to:Integrate your faith with your role and responsibility as a leaderIdentify your prioritiesBuild your relationship with God in a new and personal wayMove from success to significanceLead out of service rather than self-interestPut the love of Jesus into action 
  With simple yet profound principles from the life of Jesus, and dozens of stories and leadership examples from his own life, Ken Blanchard once again shows us the way effective leaders lead. 
  Accompanying graphics, resources, checklist, and discussion guide are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

  Stop Playing Safe speaks to the heart of what holds people back in their professional lives, making the sharp distinction between knowing what to do, and having the courage to do it. In explaining why playing safe can be a high-risk strategy, it provides a framework to meet the challenges of the pressure-laden workplace that can so easily siphon passion from employees, disconnecting them from themselves and from the intrinsic value of what they do each day. It includes the insights and experiences of high profile leaders and entrepreneurs who have achieved outstanding success in their professional lives, and what they did (and didn't do) that made the difference as they forged their own path forward.Broken into two sections, the first section "Core Courage" is focused on building the foundation for courageous action. The second section "Courage in Action" is broken into five core courage challenges: Challenge, Speak, Adapt, Leverage, and Lead. Each chapter contains proven "how to" strategies the reader can apply to better assess risk, leverage their strengths, manage conflict, be decisive amidst uncertainty, be a catalyst for change in their organization, and expand their network of influence.

  The rule-smashing guide for motivated working women who want to stop following someone else’s rules and take charge of their own success. 
  
   
  
   
  
  You leaned in like a palm tree in a hurricane. You cracked the confidence code. You’re determined not to be a nice girl, but a #GirlBoss. You’ve learned you can’t have it all, but you still try anyway. You know all of this. You’ve read the books, downloaded the apps, vision boarded and journaled your way to oblivion and back, to no avail. 
  
   
  
   
  
  Whether you’re stuck in middle management, stalled in mid-career, or mulling over a major career change, sometimes the proverbial glass ceiling feels very real indeed-a barrier keeping you from fulfilling your potential. Unlike other books, which focus on fixing you, Kick Some Glass empowers you to break through your glass ceiling and guides you toward understanding your context and uncovering what you really want, what your definition of success is, what your values are, and how to set the goals to reach your potential. 
  
   
  
   
  
  This is no one-size-fits-all career guide. It’s a top-to-bottom, inside-out, do-it-yourself makeover with the focus completely on you. In each chapter, you’ll be asked to evaluate specific parts of your work life, home life, personal strengths and weaknesses, past history and present obstacles, both internal and external, so you can: 
  
   
  
   
  
  * Live your intention and design a meaningful life at any stage 
  
  * Identify the underlying values that are the core of your being 
  
  * Get comfortable with your personal power and understand what it means 
  
  * Uncover the conscious and subconscious mental models that are holding you back 
  
  * Take calculated risks through planful action with a clear direction 
  
  * Let go of things you cannot control or change 
  
  * Become more resilient, adaptable, and self-aware 
  
  * Make the choices and tradeoffs necessary to fulfill your goals 
  
  * Decide if it’s time to reinvent your career-and prepare for your next move 
  
  * Find that elusive work-life balance that’s right for you 
  
  * Create your own definition of success-and make it happen for you 
  
   
  
   
  
  Best of all, you’ll be able to map out a career course for yourself that is based on your own definition of success, play and win by your own rules, and pay it forward by busting down doors for the next generation of women. 
  
   
  
   
  
  In the end, this book will help you uncover who you truly are and approach your professional life in ways that are authentic and most meaningful to you-and no one else. After all, only you hold the answers. It’s time to Kick Some Glass.
