There are misconceptions about leadership, these include; leadership is only for specific people. I love the quote of Warren Bennis about leadership, it simply nullifies this misconception because I also believe that anybody can be a leader, it only takes someone to be themselves. God has given all of us potential to become, however, we all have a choice to make regarding operating in our purpose. It becomes easier to lead when operating in your purpose. I felt it was important to offer a different perspective about leadership. I totally believe that everyone is born a leader and we all have a role to play to make our country and indeed the world a better place by exemplifying superior leadership traits. This book will help you unpack the topic of leadership even in the midst of dwindling examples of ethical leadership in our society.

With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness. “When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it,” writes Michelle Obama.

From the bestselling author of Blink and The Tipping Point, Malcolm
Gladwell's Outliers: The Story of Success overturns conventional wisdom
about genius to show us what makes an ordinary person an extreme
overachiever.
Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!" The good news is that in Soundtracks, Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower. When we don't control our thoughts, our thoughts control us. If our days are full of broken soundtracks, thoughts are our worst enemy, holding us back from the things we really want. But the solution to overthinking isn't to stop thinking. The solution is running our brains with better soundtracks. Once we learn how to choose our soundtracks, thoughts become our best friend, propelling us toward our goals. If you want to tap into the surprising power of overthinking and give your dreams more time and creativity, learn how to DJ the soundtracks that define you. If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can doubt, you can dominate. If you can spin, you can soar.

Professor Damian Hughes, co-host of the 'High Performance' podcast ____________________________________________ Resilience is the buzzword of the moment. We're told that if we have it, our lives will be happy and successful ones. If we don't, we need to acquire it. But what if the version of resilience we've been peddled is a myth? Here, Sunday Times bestselling author Bruce Daisley demolishes a concept that has spawned a multi-million pound industry of books, workshops and courses, exposing the highly questionable science it rests on.
