Book: "Crunch Time - How to be your Best when it matters Most", by Peterson & Hoesktra
Excerpt: The great thing about Crunch Time is that it is straight to the point and highly practical. The examples incorporated are highly relevant based on life examples, which leads to the point of this book being of no nonsense, extracting knowledge from neuroscience and interviews demonstrating how the concept of re-framing actually works in real life. Personally, I have used some tips of this book to help organizational leaders re-frame their perspective during my coaching sessions quite effectively, both in helping them re-frame from challenges in relationships at the workplace, as well as, when they were feeling stuck on their goals. Being a scholar, I'm especially interested in the topics of entrepreneurship and innovation, and I have realized through the multiple aspects of re-framing, that each single one of them generates opportunities for innovating one's current situation to a new desired situation, helps to refocus and potentially in coming up with new strategies to reaching existing goals - which then builds personal strength and resilience. The authors have taken the audience to new heights in a very human way which resonates with anyone, easily. If you mean to be at your best when it matters most, you need to pick up a copy of this book, and I would always recommend it!.

Book: "Servant Leadership - A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power & Greatness", by Greenleaf
Excerpt: With the publication of Servant Leadership in 1977, a new paradigm of management entered the boardrooms and corporate offices of America. Robert K. Greenleaf, a retired AT & T executive, proposed that service ought to be the distinguishing characteristic of leadership. Not only would it create better, stronger companies, he said, but business leaders themselves "would find greater joy in their lives if they raised the servant aspect of their leadership and built more serving institutions." In the quarter century since these ideas were first articulated, the notion of servant leadership has gained ever more disciples in business schools, among executives, in government and in public and private institutions. Greenleaf was among the first to analyze the qualities of leaders and followers--and the necessity for leaders to be attentive to the needs of others. In this respect the leader becomes a follower.
