Entrepreneurial Leadership : Finding Your Calling Making A Difference

1. The Essence Of Entrepreneurship
2. The Essence Of Entrepreneurial Leadership
3. Humanist & Christian Models Of Entrepreneurship
4. Soul & Spirituality
5. Meaning & Work Ethic
6. Risk & Reward
7. Finding Your Calling
8. Practicing Entrepreneurial Leadership
9. Sustaining Entrepreneurial Leadership
10. Making A DifferenceAdditional Info
The church today faces a leadership crisis, what Richard Goossen and R. Paul Stevens call an “entrepreneurial black hole.” Churches are not seeking out the skills and talents of the entrepreneurs in their midst, and consequently entrepreneurs are disengaging from church life. The result is that Christian entrepreneurial leaders are not being equipped to aid the mission of the church and impact their communities for the sake of Gods kingdom. As founder and co-chairperson, respectively, of the Entrepreneurial Leadership Organization, Goossen and Stevens bring years of teaching and training experience to tackle this problem. Their timely and informative book develops a Christian model of entrepreneurship–rooted in a biblical worldview and a theology of calling–in order to overcome the entrepreneur-church dichotomy. Entrepreneurial Leadership addresses both the “how-come” and the “how-to,” not only grounding the entrepreneurial calling in its proper source in the triune God but also providing practical guides for how to be an effective leader. This book is not merely for those in business. It is for entrepreneurial leaders in every context and in any organization. Both theologically rooted and practically oriented, Goossen and Stevens have written what should prove to be the essential resource for Christian entrepreneurial leadership training.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Jumpstart Your Leadership
$18.73Jumpstart Your Leadership- 10 Jolts to Leverage Your Leadership
Are you a leader? Would like to be a better leader? Would you like to be a leader in the future? Then this book is for you. In this book Shawn Doyle will show you the tools tips and techniques for becoming the kind of leader that other people want to follow.
Jumpstart Your Leadership will share with you the 10 key principles of leveraging your leadership.
Mission and vision- the important and compelling reasons why every organization large and small needs to have a mission and vision statement in order to lead effectively.
Strategic planning- strategic planning is absolutely critical to the long-term health of an organization. However in many cases leaders are not skilled at planning short, mid-term and long-term. Shawn shows them specifically how to plan and think strategically about the future which is a core leadership competency.
Hiring- hiring in many organizations is done very poorly, haphazardly and the track record of success is appalling. Shawn shows leaders how to interview and hire people effectively and shares a shocking concept about hiring people that they have probably never heard.
Communication- in many organizations leaders think that they are communicating effectively-but they would be wrong. The reality is most leaders think they’re communicating effectively but when employees are asked they say they don’t feel “in the loop” or that the communication is not effective in any way. So why is there two different versions of effective communication? This chapter will unlock the keys to effectively communicating in a leadership role.
Motivation- one of the biggest questions that Shawn gets in the classroom around the country is how can leaders motivate their employees? In this chapter he shares the inside secrets for getting the team motivated and only high levels of morale and team spirit.
Reward- too many times in too many organizations high-performing employees feel underappreciated overworked and not rewarded. In this chapter Shawn shares with them many of the myths about reward and how they can be shattered. He also shares the key strategies for rewarding people in order to impact of rewards and to increase people’s perception of their rewards.
Accountability- far too many times managers are reluctant to hold employees accountable for the results of their work. In this section Shawn shares the key tools and techniques for holding people accountable

Derailed : Five Lessons Learned From Catastrophic Failures Of Leadership
$18.99What causes a leader to fail? What can we learn from those who have fallen? How do we avoid failure of our own?
These are just a few of the questions answered in Derailed: 5 Lessons Learned from Catastrophic Failures of Leadership, a book for leaders and aspiring leaders of all levels by Tim Irwin, Ph.D. Derailed chronicles the collapse of six high-profile CEOs, the factors that drove their downfalls, and the lessons that we can learn to stay on track and avoid derailing our own lives and careers.
The story of the fallen CEO has become a cultural fixture: veering off course with the force of a train careening off its tracks, leaving fiery wreckage and devastating injury throughout the organization. These executives are often the smartest and most respected individuals in their industries, with glittering resumes and histories of successful leadership. Yet they astonish us by driving the train dramatically off course, blinded by unchecked power and arrogance.
Dr. Tim Irwin believes that these leaders suffer from failures of character that are common to each of us–even the most capable individuals. Deficits in authenticity, humility, self-management, and courage become more dangerous as we take on more leadership, and can cause us to ignore glaring signals that might otherwise save us from catastrophic demise. Derailed profiles the collapse of six high-profile CEOs (Robert Nardelli – Home Depot, Carly Fiorina – HP, Durk Jager – Proctor and Gamble, Steven Heyer – Starwood Hotels, Frank Raines – Fannie Mae, Dick Fuld – Lehman Brothers) and the factors that drove their downfalls, finding that derailment actually happens long before the crash and can be avoided. Derailed explains the character qualities that are essential for successful leadership and how to cultivate them so that we can avoid being derailed.

Trump The Best Real Estate Advice I Ever Received
$17.99Donald Trump has gathered in one book the best advice on real estate from the brightest and most experienced people…
“Don’t try to take the last penny off the table; make sure that the people who buy from you also make money. If not, they won’t buy from you again.” -Michael Shvo, Founder of the Shvo Group and “the most successful young real estate broker in New York”
“Mom said, ‘If you don’t have big breasts, put ribbons in your pigtails.’ Good salesmanship is nothing more than maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative. Although your competition might offer something you can’t match, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you identify and play up what you’ve got.” -Barbara Corcoran, Founder of the Corcoran Group, New York City’s leading real estate company
“Real estate can be so much fun you almost feel guilty earning money at it!” -Monda Bassil, President of Prestigious Properties of New York

Cambios Necesarios – (Spanish)
$15.99In Necessary Endings, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when done well, ‘necessary endings’ allow us to stop pain, foster growth, reach personal and business goals, and live better lives. When done poorly though, good opportunities are lost, and misery either remains or is repeated. While we all face these kinds of endings daily, Dr. Cloud finds that most of us fall in the latter category and don’t handle endings very well—and we need help. In this new book, Dr. Cloud draws on years of experience as an executive coach and therapist and offers a mixture of advice and anecdotes—all delivered in Cloud’s characteristically warm and empathic voice—that will do several things to address this need:
*Bring awareness to the necessity of endings in life, similar to what Cloud did with his extremely popular Boundaries series.
*Normalize the concept so that you can see it as a regular part of life.
*Help you see the need for endings in all facets of life, both personal and professional. *Show you why you have not been able to negotiate endings well.
*Show you how to do it and make it go well.
*Cast a vision for a better future, one where the pain of being stuck has ended, and there is space for good things.
*Help you understand the process of endings so that you can metabolize the lessons and experience and thereby not repeat themKnowing when and how to let go when something isn’t working—whether it’s a career choice, business venture, or personal relationship—is essential for happiness and success. In Necessary Endings, Dr. Cloud gives you the tools you need to begin pruning the bad and the broken from your life so the good may begin growing again.

Pillars Of Prosperity
$34.98If you grew up in the country, you may have once or twice seen a turtle perched atop a fence post. The first thought to cross your mind upon seeing this unusual sight would probably be that the turtle did not get on top of that fence post by itself; it had help.
This analogy is meant to represent just that – something accomplished that would not normally be possible without the assistance of someone or something more capable. That is the message of this book: how to accomplish more with less; how to go higher financially (and in other areas of life) than your talents and abilities would otherwise take you; how to position yourself to be propelled by God Himself to heights you may have never thought possible; and why God wants to prosper the people who attend their ears to His methods.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase
