The Power of Perception - Leadership Emotional Intelligence and the Gender Divide

Shawn Andrews

Summary

The Power of Perception: Leadership, Emotional Intelligence and the Gender Divide serves as a practical guide to educate women, men and organizations on the barriers that keep women from fully contributing in the workplace. These include differences in leadership style and emotional intelligence, gender bias and stereotypes, breadwinner and caregiver responsibilities, and differences in gender culture which show up every day at work and home. The Power of Perception also explores significant changes in global demographic trends and how our youngest generations are impacting the workplace.The Power of Perception clearly illustrates the reasons that we don’t see more women leading our global businesses. It has nothing to do with women’s skills and competencies and everything to do with perceptions of women as leaders, as workers, as mothers, and as wives. These perceptions have a significant impact on promotion for many women. Perception is reality—and it’s powerful.The Power of Perception provides personal stories of women’s journeys, real-world examples, and is based on the author’s own research as well as that of many others. Every chapter includes practical, easy-to-apply strategies, summary points, and reflection questions to empower women, men, and organizations to fully leverage talent and diversity.

Tithing is for Today -...

Peter Collins Obeng

Discover the Truth on Tithing the way the New Testament teaches it. 
The vital truth is that a countless number of Christians tithe, but are not convinced about the practice. They just follow the tradition of the church without a sound biblical understanding of the subject of tithing. 
Christendom, at large, is divided on tithing. 
There is a section of Christians who sincerely believe tithing is too legalistic and must be limited to the dispensation of the Law, while others believe that the practice is still relevant, and through tithing, they can be part of what God is doing in the world today. 
The main reason for these sentiments is that, in most of our teachings on tithing, we hardly touch on the Melchizedek order which serves as a guide to the practice — and whereby faith, we consecrate our tithes to Christ — the Great and true Melchizedek, as an act of worship. We rather explain the practice and persuade Christians to tithe, using Scriptures that are relative only to the system of tithing under the Law. This creates confusion, misunderstanding and apathy on the part of some Christians who believe that they are not under the Law but grace. 
In Tithing Is for Today, Peter Collins Obeng shares insights from the Word of God that bring understanding and clarity for God's people to discover the truth on tithing — the way the New Testament teaches it.
