Interpersonal relationships can make or break a leader.
Being a leader means working with people, and that’s not always easy. Interpersonal relationships can make or break a leader – whether in the office, the church, the community, or elsewhere. That’s why it’s so important to be a “people person” and develop skills in tapping that most precious of all resources – people.
Author John Maxwell understands the principles of developing people, and he shares those principles in this book. It will help readers to:
- Develop the qualities of an effective leader.
- Understand and help people with difficult personalities.
- Use the skills discussed in the book to inspire others to excellence and success!
In 1914, the Associated Newspapers sent correspondent Herbert Corey
to Europe on the day Great Britain declared war on Germany. During
the Great War that followed, Corey reported from France, Britain,
and Germany, visiting the German lines on both the western and
eastern fronts. He also reported from Greece, Italy, Switzerland,
Holland, Belgium, and Serbia. When the Armistice was signed in
November 1918, Corey defied the rules of the American Expeditionary
Forces and crossed into Germany. He covered the Paris Peace
Conference the following year. No other foreign correspondent
matched the longevity of his reporting during World War I. Until
recently, however, his unpublished memoir lay largely unnoticed
among his papers in the Library of Congress. With publication of
Herbert Corey's Great War, coeditors Peter Finn and John Maxwell
Hamilton reestablish Corey's name in the annals of American war
reporting. As a correspondent, he defies easy comparison. He
approximates Ernie Pyle in his sympathetic interest in the American
foot soldier, but he also told stories about troops on the other
side and about noncombatants. He is especially illuminating on the
obstacles reporters faced in conveying the story of the Great War
to Americans. As his memoir makes clear, Corey didn't believe he
was in Europe to serve the Allies. He viewed himself as an
outsider, one who was deeply ambivalent about the entry of the
United States into the war. His idiosyncratic, opinionated, and
very American voice makes for compelling reading.
Most of us look at our days in the wrong way: We exaggerate
yesterday. We overestimate tomorrow. We underestimate today. The
truth is that the most important day you will ever experience is
today. Today is the key to your success. Maxwell offers 12
decisions and disciplines-he calls it his daily dozen-that can be
learned and mastered by any person to achieve success.

Whether used as a political tactic to discredit news stories and
media outlets, or as a description of false information
manufactured and circulated for profit, the term ""fake news""
holds a particularly caustic sway in twenty-first-century society.
A frequent subject of cable news broadcasts, periodical coverage,
and social media chatter, and a constant talking point for
political pundits, its impact spans from shaping minor differences
in partisanship to influencing elections. In Fake News! Josh Grimm
gathers a range of critical approaches to provide an essential
resource for readers, students, and teachers interested in
understanding this ever-present feature of today's media and
political landscape. The opening section surveys the long history
of fake news, with examples ranging from seventeenth-century
satires of early newspapers to propaganda efforts in Nazi Germany,
and then traces the evolution of the term over time. The following
section explores how exposure to fake news impacts individuals,
with particular emphasis on changes in popular discourse and the
ability to assess sources critically. Essays in this section also
highlight approaches developed by newsrooms and other
organisations, including Facebook and Google, to fight the
widespread dissemination of fake news. The volume pairs original
research with articles from prominent scholarly journals, offering
a wide-ranging and accessible discussion of debates central to the
current post-truth era, covering topics such as social media, the
Onion, InfoWars, media literacy, and the radicalization of white
men. By highlighting key components and practical methods for
examining misinformation in the media, Fake News! presents in-depth
analysis of a topic that remains more timely than ever.

We know leadership isn't exclusive to corner offices and
multimillion-dollar budgets--some of the best leaders are the
mentors and technicians who are more comfortable behind the scenes.
But what if being an effective leader isn't just about having
innovative ideas and high levels of productivity? What if becoming
a great leader is more about prioritizing self-awareness and people
skills than production and performance? Help! I Work with People is
not a book about leadership theory, but rather a handbook on how to
connect with people and influence them for good. With his signature
transparent and relatable storytelling, Chad Veach uses modern
research and biblical principles to encourage you to lean into your
leadership potential regardless of your level of influence or
experience. In short and easily digestible chapters, he addresses
the three phases of becoming a quality leader: * learning to lead
the hardest person you will ever be in charge of--yourself *
recognizing the power of becoming a people person * creating a
culture and environment where the team's shared vision can grow
People are the most important part of life. Let's learn how to lead
as if we like each other.
