Individuals and companies have been learning what history has demonstrated all along--that people or groups with carefully defined missions have always led and surpassed those who have none. Yet the process of outlining that mission statement has been, up to now, an arduous one that all too few have committed the time, energy, and resources to undertake. In "The Path," best-selling author Laurie Beth Jones provides inspiring and practical advice to lead readers through every step of both defining and fulfilling a mission. With more than ten years' experience in assisting groups and individuals, Jones offers clear, step-by-step guidance that can make writing a mission statement take a matter of hours rather than months or years. Rich with humor, exercises, mediations, and case histories, "The Path" is essential reading for anyone seeking a lighter, clearer way in the world.

Laurie Beth Jones, management expert and business consultant extraordinaire, noticed that none of the personality/temperament profiles in the market today, none of them provided a tool that was simple, visual, intuitive, and powerful enough to create a shift in thinking as well as relating. So she developed The Path Elements Profile (PEP), which can be used in recruitment, placement, retention, team building, and customer relations as businesses transform many individuals into a harmonizing, humming force for good. Within the framework of the book will be scriptural examples as well as modern day business stories.

Based upon the elements of Earth, Water, Wind and Fire, the Path Elements Profile helps determine both individual and team behavioral tendencies that affect everything from career choice to daily "to do" lists. We choose to act on what we value, and each element type values very different things: Fire personality types love and thrive on challenge Water personality types thrive on harmony and calm Wind personality types love chaos and change Earth personality types love order and structure

PART I of this book provides an overview of the elements themselves as individual personality types. Jones will explain each element's strengths and challenges and will have the readers identify their own as well as those of their team members.

Then in PART II, readers will assess their teams. There are 28 one-day principles, that, if followed will take readers on a simple yet radical journey to a transformed workplace.

INCLUDES an Assessment Test for Your Team's Elemental Strengths and Weaknesses

Hubo una epoca en que solo los atletas tenian entrenadores. Ahora, muchas personas, desde los gerentes hasta los jovenes en riesgo estan siendo "entrenados." La International Coaching Federation, que comenzo con solamente unas pocas personas, hoy tiene mas de 5.000 miembros, y mas de 150.000 personas se llaman a si mismas "Entrenadores para la vida." Los beneficios del entrenamiento han sido bien documentados, pero tener el entrenador correcto es critico.

Jesus tuvo solamente tres anos para entrenar a los discipulos, pero en ese tiempo el se las arreglo para cambiar a ese grupo de pelagatos en "maquinas de mercadeo eficientes y limpias." Dividido en cuatro secciones criticas: enfoque, balance, productividad y cumplimiento, "Jesus, entrenador de la vida" presenta un programa de entrenamiento basado en la fe, con Jesus como modelo. Investigando a fondo los principios que Jesus uso para transformar a aquellos a su alrededor, este libro ofrece estrategias probadas y numerosas aplicaciones para los entrenadores modernos.
