JUST HOW do you build a SUPPORT network when you have nobody you TRUST to support you? Almost every leader, at some point in their business/career, will face social and/or emotional isolation. They will lose their trusted confidants through normal life events such as death, job change, illness, divorce, marriage, birth and relocation. When we lose or even 'get rid' of people on purpose from our lives and don't replace that relationship role, we become lone wolves trying to survive everything, which is exhausting and can make the business or situation even worse. Attention Leaders: If you're like the rest of us, you probably started your business or project full of drive and excitement, and even made good progress on your goals for the first few years. Then it started to get hard. You work harder, and start to lose your connections. Something gives: you're going bankrupt; you're getting sick; you are needing medication; you are using alcohol or drugs as a crutch; you are headed for a breakdown; and you're alone. Does this sound like you or someone you know? If you apply the principles in this book, you will start to reconnect with the people who can help you get where you want to be. You will be able to turn everything around and you won't need to get therapy, smell incense or work really, really hard to do it, because you will have everyone you need to support you to be GREAT. This book will: * enable you to navigate life's setbacks and challenges with ease * guide you on how to appreciate all the people in your life-even the 'hard' people * give you a true understanding of how to connect with others and network * enlighten you on how you can support people most important to you * dwell within you-once you know this material, it won't leave you * transform your business, family and life ... if you let it What people are saying: Jen is an inspiration!

Just as the Wright Brothers combined science and practice to finally realize the dream of flight, Ryan and Robert Quinn combine research and personal experience to demonstrate how to reach a psychological state that elevates us and those around us to greater heights of achievement, integrity, openness, and empathy. It's the psychological equivalent of aerodynamic lift, and it is the fundamental state of leadership. This book draws on recent advances in positive psychology and organizational science to describe four questions that, when asked in any situation, will help us experience the fundamental state of leadership. Engaging personal stories illustrate how the Quinns and others have applied these concepts at work, at home, and in the community. --

What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

An inspirational and practical guide to leadership from the New York Times–bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Covey, named one of Time magazine’s 25 Most Influential Americans, is a renowned authority on leadership, whose insightful advice has helped millions. In his follow-up to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he poses these fundamental questions: How do we as individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change? Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results? How do we unleash the creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves and others? Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal and professional life is possible? The key to dealing with the challenges that we face is to identify a principle-centered core within ourselves and our institutions. In Principle-Centered Leadership, Covey outlines a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. Offering insights and guidelines on how to apply these principles both at work and at home, Covey posits that these steps will lead not only to an increase in productivity and quality of work, but also to a new appreciation of personal and professional relationships as we strive to enjoy a more balanced, rewarding, and ultimately more effective life. “There seems to be no limit to the number of writers offering answers to the great perplexities of life. Covey, however, is the North Star in this field . . . without hesitation, strongly recommended.” —Library Journal
