Summary

NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED



Beyond Success



Positive Leadership shows how to reach beyond ordinary success to achieve extraordinary effectiveness, spectacular results, and what Kim Cameron calls “positively deviant performance”—performance far above the norm. Citing a wide range of research in organizational behavior, medical science, and psychology as well as real-world examples, Cameron shows that to achieve exceptional success, leaders must emphasize strengths rather than simply focus on weaknesses; foster virtuous actions such as compassion, gratitude, and forgiveness; encourage contribution goals in addition to achievement goals; and enable meaningfulness in work. In this concise, inspiring, and practical guide, Cameron describes four positive leadership strategies, lays out a proven process for implementing them, and includes a self-assessment instrument. This second edition has been updated throughout with new research findings and new ideas for implementing positive leadership.

    "What is the most important attribute a freelance consultant must have? " Is it communications skills, a package of up-to-the- inute techniques, or the ability to project manage effectively? " All of these things are necessary. But I encourage you to read this book through a different lens. The most important attribute, in my world, is the ability to market oneself- products, pricing, promotion and routes to market. This book will support you on that journey." Martin Shervington, author

    Harmonies of Political Economy

    "Harmonies of Political Economy" is a major work by the French economist Frederic Bastiat, who lived from 1801 to 1850. The book, which was first published in 1850, explores the principles of economic theory and argues that free markets are the most effective way to promote economic growth and prosperity. 
    Bastiat believed that government intervention in the economy, such as tariffs, subsidies, and regulations, were counterproductive and tended to distort markets and create inefficiencies. He argued that free trade, competition, and individual liberty were the key ingredients to a harmonious and prosperous society. 
    In "Harmonies of Political Economy," Bastiat also discussed the concept of economic harmony, which refers to the idea that individual self-interest and the pursuit of profit can lead to outcomes that benefit society as a whole. He argued that the market was a self-correcting mechanism that could adjust to changing conditions and ensure that resources were allocated efficiently. 
    Overall, Bastiat's work in "Harmonies of Political Economy" was influential in the development of classical liberal economic thought and remains relevant today in debates over the role of government in the economy.

    Does your life ever feel out of control? In a world in which dual-income families, increasing work responsibilities and crazy schedules make it very difficult to achieve balance, there are few answers. Successful business owner and leader Sean Kouplen experienced the frustration associated with burning the candle at both ends and watching his life pass by. He tried everything. Traditional time management techniques just weren't enough. Let The Priority Promise help you take control of your life and start living again. This revolutionary seven-step process will help you start owning your life and living your priorities. 
    Why should you implement the seven-step Priority Promise Life Management System? Navigating today’s busy world without some type of life management system is virtually impossible. How many people do you know that excel in one area of their life, only to completely fail in another area? In my line of business, I deal with individuals who are extremely successful on a professional level. They have great business acumen and put all their energy and time into growing their net worth and building their corporate empire. They often fail, however, in managing their other roles. They may find their marriages struggling, their relationships with their children nonexistent, they fail to take care of themselves mentally or physically, and they have few close personal relationships. They focus their time and effort in one role (or a few closely related roles) with no plan or discipline to manage the other important areas of their life. The Priority Promise system literally changed my life. I wrote this book because I believe it can change your life too. We must all learn to prioritize our lives in such a way that the important roles are satisfied first and we are realistic about what we can accomplish within our available time.
