If you are or aspire to become a business executive then you cannot escape being confronted with problem solving situations from internal operations to external customer facing decisions.
Problem solving is a learned skill. As such, you have to learn the right way to do it, and then you have to practice in every problem you face. If you don't learn the skill, you might find yourself hitting a self-imposed corporate ceiling. Problem solving is not only a skill important for the corporate world. It is vital for companies in the startup phase of their lifecycle. If you're in that group, then you have undoubtedly seen many titles on 'product innovation' or 'business model innovation' among others that will supposedly fuel your idea generation.

- Show how to remove emotions from decision-making.
- Clarify your current position and your desired result.
- Demonstrate how to involve employees, suppliers and customers in problem-solving.
- Illustrate the art of evaluation to know if a solution will just make things worse.
- Add problem-solving discipline to your leadership skills.
Fortunately, the frameworks offered in this insightful book are highly customizable, so you can tailor them to suit your professional, social, student, or home life.
It is time to bid adieu to indecisiveness and welcome in a new era where you are the confident, capable decision-maker you know you can be.

Feed your curiosity of the Bible by exploring the deeper meaning behind familiar Old Testament passages.
Below the surface of every seemingly ordinary Bible verse lies a deeper meaning just waiting to be discovered. And these hidden insights aren't just reserved for scholars, academics, or pastors. Anyone who knows where to look can uncover the surprisingly significant messages that the biblical authors intended for us to hear.
In 30 Old Testament Passages with Deeper Meaning, Michael Williams seeks to lead believers to a deeper comprehension and appreciation of biblical truth. In each easy-to-read chapter, Williams focuses on one Old Testament verse or passage, and:
- Examines its cultural, historical, linguistic, and/or theological context.
- Explains how it is enhanced by the added context and perspective.
- Provides questions to facilitate further reflection, study, and discussion.
Helping to bridge the gap between the academy and the church, this broadly accessible and edifying book will help everyday Christians get more out of their Bible. Plus, the insightful questions at the end of each chapter make this an ideal small group, Bible study, or expository preaching resource.
Tables, reflection prompts, and a select bibliography are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
SOMETIMES you come across a lofty railway viaduct, marooned in the middle of a remote country landscape. Or a crumbling platform from some once-bustling junction buried under the buddleia. If you are lucky you might be able to follow some rusting tracks, or explore an old tunnel leading to well, who knows where? Listen hard. Is that the wind in the undergrowth? Or the spectre of a train from a golden era of the past panting up the embankment?
These are the ghosts of The Trains Now Departed. They are the railway lines, and services that ran on them that have disappeared and gone forever. Our lost legacy includes lines prematurely axed, often with a gripping and colourful tale of their own, as well as marvels of locomotive engineering sent to the scrapyard, and grand termini felled by the wrecker's ball. Then there are the lost delights of train travel, such as haute cuisine in the dining car, the grand expresses with their evocative names, and continental boat trains to romantic far-off places.
The Trains Now Departed tells the stories of some of the most fascinating lost trains of Britain, vividly evoking the glories of a bygone age. In his personal odyssey around Britain Michael Williams tells the tales of the pioneers who built the tracks, the yarns of the men and women who operated them and the colourful trains that ran on them. It is a journey into the soul of our railways, summoning up a magic which, although mired in time, is fortunately not lost for ever.

Never was the sadness of the end of an affair so poignantly expressed than in Flanders and Swann's elegy The Slow Train:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6OHD2uCpfU This beautifully-packaged book will take the reader on the slow train to another era when travel meant more than hurrying from one place to the next, the journey meaning nothing but time lost in crowded carriages, condemned by broken timetables. On the Slow Train will reconnect with that long-missed need to lift our heads from the daily grind and reflect that there are still places in Britain where we can stop and stare. It will tap into many things: a love of railways, a love of history, a love of nostalgia. This book will be a paean to another age before milk churns, porters and cats on seats were replaced by security announcements and Burger King. These 12 spectacular journeys will help free us from what Baudelaire denounced as 'the horrible burden of time.'
