Love Leadership is a groundbreaking book and concept that makes the case that the best way to get ahead is to figure out what you have to give to a world seemingly obsessed with the question: What do I get? Aimed at a new generation of leaders and extremely relevant for today's economic climate, Love Leadership outlines John Hope Bryant's five laws of love-based leadership-Loss Creates Leaders (there can be no strength without legitimate suffering), Fear Fails (only respect and love leads to success), Love Makes Money (love is at the core of true wealth), Vulnerability is Power (when you open up to people they open up to you), and Giving is Getting (the more you offer to others, the more they will give back to you).

• One of today's most influential leaders, Bryant has appeared on Oprah and in articles in the LA Times, NY Times, and the Wall Street Journal
• Bryant's bold approach to leadership is well-suited for today's tough economic environment and a world gripped by fear and uncertainty

Love Leadership is that unique and powerful concept that bridges the gap between solid business advice and pure inspiration.

More and more organizations are looking for alternatives to rigid, top-down hierarchy as people realize that good ideas can come from anywhere and that fostering collaboration and group cohesion is vital to any healthy enterprise. But what approach can best create an environment that ensures clear speaking, compassionate listening, and the making of well-grounded decisions?

The Circle Way lays out the basics of circle conversation based on the original work of the coauthors, who have studied and standardized the essential elements of circle practice and implemented them in a variety of organizations for over fifteen years. Christina and Ann will offer suggestions for getting started, setting goals, and solving conflicts, illuminating the profound transformation circle has on people who participate in it.

Many people speak of paradigm shifts. A paradigm is a set of beliefs, values, and expectations that acts as a filter, letting in the sensory data that support the paradigm and blocking those that don't. Our larger frame is composed of our personal paradigms about work, friendship, marriage, hobbies, vacations, relatives, and so on. This frame determines how we see ourselves-in other words, who we think we are.

Opportunities that cause me to experience myself as larger than a skin-encapsulated body, mind and feelings. I call this experience frameshifting. Frameshifting offers a way to look at the process of cultural transformation and renewal from an individual perspective. As more people begin to see themselves connected to a larger whole, intimately related to all life, then genocide, wars, alienation, and a callous disregard for life will necessarily become things of the past.

Mojo is that much-desired sweet spot in an organization's year, a sports team's season, or an individual's career where everything is going the right way-and success builds upon success. In Mojo, bestselling author and renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith explains that having mojo means controlling three elements: - Identity (Who do you think you are?) - Achievement (What have you done lately?) - Reputation (Who do other people think you are? What do other people think you've done lately?) But understanding mojo isn't enough. Knowing how to acquire, maintain, or even recapture it is what really counts, and Goldsmith uses case studies from his own high-profile clients as well as from the lives of public figures like John Travolta and Richard Nixon to illustrate how it's done. Mojo will show that momentum in business-organizations as well as individual lives and careers-is easy to define and quantify; there's a clear cause-and-effect relationship between mojo and success. With Marshall Goldsmith's help, readers will learn a revolutionary new way to jump-start--and capitalize on--their own mojo.
