21 Laws of Leadership
This book is the answer. Simply and briefly, John Maxwell outlines the essentials of leadership that transcend time, place, culture, and situation. These basic laws of success can be applied to business and private life, helping anyone reach their full potential.
A New Earth - Awakening to your Life's Purpose
Building on the astonishing success of The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle presents readers with an honest look at the current state of humanity: He implores us to see and accept that this state, which is based on an erroneous identification with the egoic mind, is one of dangerous insanity. Tolle tells us there is good news, however. There is an alternative to this potentially dire situation. Humanity now, perhaps more than in any previous time, has an opportunity to create a new, saner, more loving world. This will involve a radical inner leap from the current egoic consciousness to an entirely new one. In illuminating the nature of this shift in consciousness, Tolle describes in detail how our current ego-based state of consciousness operates. Then gently, and in very practical terms, he leads us into this new consciousness. We will come to experience who we truly are—which is something infinitely greater than anything we currently think we are—and learn to live and breathe freely.
A Sense of Urgency
Instilling urgency in employees is critical to getting organizations to switch directions—it’s just that arguing the business case using facts alone won’t create that urgency, says Kotter. Rather, you have to tug at people’s heartstrings. Instead of showing them your case on PowerPoint, for instance, tell a story.
Abolishing Performance Appraisals
As a result, the suggestion to abolish performance appraisals comes as no surprise (especially since that’s the title) and the logic is appealing, as well. To get rid of performance appraisals will be difficult in most companies, because people will not be able to imagine what the alternatives can be.

Inside the Box
We are inclined, for whatever reason, to treat values like works of art. We view them as nice to hang on the wall, and beautiful to look at, but we don’t act as though they truly mean much to us in the real world. In fact, the opposite is true. The best organizations understand their values, articulate them clearly, and hold them higher than any short-term concerns or short-cut methods. This does not put these companies at a competitive disadvantage. It is the source of their competitive advantage.
