The Emerging Leader: Ways to a Stronger Team
Many people who have been very successful throughout their careers suddenly stumble when they assume a leadership position. The knowledge, skills, and work habits that enabled them to succeed in their previous jobs may not apply to leading. Although confident in his own field, the new leader may feel unprepared to handle typical management issues of under-performers, budgets, and departmental strife. Having always been a top performer, the new leader may be frustrated at suddenly having her success depend on the actions of her staff. The Emerging Leader is a valuable primer for the manager who wants to develop effective teamwork. Dean Tjosvold and Mary M. Tjosvold offer an action-oriented, research-based plan for learning to analyze situations, promote cooperation, develop productive relationships, and learn from mistakes - essential for success as a leader. They provide practical on-the-job advice, brief sections on psychology and organizational behavior that explain the theory behind their advice, and an extended workplace example that traces a new manager as he masters his first position as a team leader. Readers will learn how to handle common management hurdles such as budget cuts, terminations, conflict within and among departments, reorganizations, and cooperation with bosses and peers. Whether one is leading office workers, sales representatives, health care workers, lawyers, or any other type of team, The Emerging Leader is a must read for beginning the climb up the corporate ladder.

Not Fade Away: A Short Life Well Lived
Some people are born to lead and destined to teach by the example of living life to the fullest, and facing death with uncommon honesty and courage. Peter Barton was that kind of person. Driven by the ideals that sparked a generation, he became an overachieving Everyman, a risk-taker who showed others what was possible. Then, in the prime of his life — hugely successful, happily married, and the father of three children — Peter faced the greatest of all challenges. Diagnosed with cancer, he began a journey that was not only frightening and appalling but also full of wonder and discovery. With unflinching candor and even surprising humor, Not Fade Away finds meaning and solace in Peter’ s confrontation with mortality. Celebrating life as it dares to stare down death, Peter’s story addresses universal hopes and fears, and redefines the quietly heroic tasks of seeking clarity in the midst of pain, of breaking through to personal faith, and of achieving peace after bold and sincere questioning.
