Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy
At the end of your life, how are you likely to be remembered? Chances are that people won't be praising your money, power, and status. Instead, the people you've impacted will remember you for your compassion and personal strength?in short, your character. Unfortunately, many leaders are unaware of their character shortcomings and blind spots that hold so many of us back from building the lasting legacy we are capable of. With the right motivation, you can begin to strengthen your character and become a moral and ethical leader capable of creating lasting change. In Leading with Character: 10 Minutes a Day to a Brilliant Legacy, Dr. Jim Loehr, cofounder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, reveals 50 character competencies that you can practice daily to transform your life and work. This book will also guide you through the process of developing a Personal Credo that will serve as your decision-making mission statement. Most leaders never take the time to identify their own core values, instead defaulting to a reflexive form of decision making. Gain an awareness of the conscious and unconscious processes that guide what you do and why you do it, and take charge of your leadership legacy. Even good leaders are vulnerable to corruption. Read Leading with Character to learn how human evolution and contemporary culture can lead us astray without our even knowing it. As we work hard to get to the top, who are we becoming along the way? If we want to become heroes whose memories will long outlast us, we need to channel our energy into creating habits that will add up to a strong and meaningful character.

In The Power of Story, the bestselling coauthor of The Power of Full Engagement examines the way we tell stories about ourselves to ourselves -- and, most importantly, the way we can change those stories to transform our business and personal lives. All of us continually tell ourselves stories that profoundly effect how others see us and we see ourselves -- stories of success or failure, power or victimhood; about our work, our relationships, our health; about what we want and what we're capable of achieving. Yet few of us even recognize what our stories are, or that we can transform our very destinies by changing the stories we tell. For decades, at the Human Performance Institute, Dr. Jim Loehr has been examining the power of story to increase engagement and productivity, and top Fortune 500 companies have paid millions to send employees to his program, in which he applies the principles and methods that he now offers here. Global business leaders, world-class athletes, military special forces, and thousands of individuals from every walk of life have sought out and benefited from his life-altering insight and expertise. Telling ourselves stories provides structure and direction as we navigate life's challenges and opportunities, and helps us interpret our goals and skills. Loehr's approach to creating deeply engaging stories will give you the tools to wield the power of storytelling and forever change your business and personal life.

Audiobook
The challenge of a fully engaged life has never been greater. We live in digital time. Our rhythms are rushed, rapid fire and relentless, our days carved up into bits and bytes. The new technologies make it possible to stay connected around the clock but often leave us feeling oddly disconnected--from ourselves, from those we care about most, and from the values we most cherish. We're wired up but we're melting down. Full engagement is ultimately an energy challenge. Human beings are complex energy systems and four separate forms of energy pulse through each of us all of the time: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. To thrive, we must skillfully recruit all four of these energies in the service of a specific mission. Subtract any one from the equation and the capacity to sustain high performance is compromised, much the way an engine sputters when isn't firing on all cylinders. To be fully engaged, on or off the job, means to be physically energized, emotionally engaged, mentally focused and spiritually vested. According to data collected by the Gallup Organization prior to September 11, 2001, only 26 per cent of the American workforce are engaged in their work. An astonishing 55 per cent of workers are not engaged, while 19 per cent are actively disengaged. Worse yet, the longer that employees stay with an organization, the less engaged they become. The Power of Full Engagement draws on 30 years of research and experience in working with thousands of world class athletes, FBI Hostage Rescue teams, emergency service workers and corporate executives who are called upon to sustain high performance in the face of high pressure and continuous demand. The Power of Full Engagement is a call to arms. To individuals, our message is that your energy is your most precious asset. To achieve full ignition, you must learn to manage it skillfully. To executives and managers, our message is that the people who work for you are your most precious asset. To maximize their engagement, you must learn to treat them as a whole, assuring that they regularly renew the multidimensional energy they need to consistently perform at their best.
