THESE HABITS WILL MAKE YOU EXTRAORDINARY. Twenty years ago, author Brendon Burchard became obsessed with answering three questions: 1. Why do some individuals and teams succeed more quickly than others and sustain that success over the long term? 2. Of those who pull it off, why are some miserable and others consistently happy on their journey? 3. What motivates people to reach for higher levels of success in the first place, and what practices help them improve the most After extensive original research and a decade as the world’s leading high performance coach, Burchard found the answers. It turns out that just six deliberate habits give you the edge. Anyone can practice these habits and, when they do, extraordinary things happen in their lives, relationships, and careers. Which habits can help you achieve long-term success and vibrant well-being no matter your age, career, strengths, or personality? To become a high performer, you must seek clarity, generate energy, raise necessity, increase productivity, develop influence, and demonstrate courage. The art and science of how to do all this is what this book is about. Whether you want to get more done, lead others better, develop skill faster, or dramatically increase your sense of joy and confidence, the habits in this book will help you achieve it faster. Each of the six habits is illustrated by powerful vignettes, cutting-edge science, thought-provoking exercises, and real-world daily practices you can implement right now. If you’ve ever wanted a science-backed, heart-centered plan to living a better quality of life, it’s in your hands. Best of all, you can measure your progress. A link to a free professional assessment is included in the book.

Summary "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" illustrates a broad picture that is grounded in the realities of day to day issues faced by public sector managers in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The chapters in the book examine the main areas of importance for public sector leaders; they have been grouped into four distinct categories: strategic management, organisational performance, e-government and national identity. The objective of "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" is to: help augment recent public sector development efforts in the GCC; contribute to the advancement of research on the GCC; and serve as knowledge building tools for those interested in learning about public sector management practices in GCC countries. Key Features Many books about the GCC governmental sector are typically written from either a purely academic perspective or present a small subset of available research, thereby failing to capture critical management issues and considerations.

"Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" has been written from a philosophical 'mind-set' in the sense that if we need to improve our organisations and thereafter our nations, we need to be transparent when we share knowledge and practices. "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" is easy-to-read and is highly practical.
