This is a book about working with large teams of people. Whether
your team involves 30 people or 3,000, the organizational dynamics
are significantly different for a project manager used to dealing
with smaller teams. As the project scales up in size and
complexity, the processes and skills required change. As project
leader, your focus moves from the technical aspects of project
delivery to enabling, facilitating and integrating the different
sub teams into a cohesive whole. Big Teams examines the research on
team dynamics and the latest thinking on leadership in a project or
program environment. It features stories and case studies based on
interviews with project leaders from a range of major projects and
programs. Structured around three core themes - Alignment,
Engagement, and Resilience - it gives you invaluable, practical
guidance on setting up and running an effective team of teams. As
with all Tony Llewellyn's books, Big Teams is written in an
accessible style with the focus on real-world application, but the
academic underpinning is rigorous and will be a useful reference
for any student studying project leadership.
Performance Coaching for Complex Projects recognises a world of
complex undertakings for which the common transactional mindsets
and methodologies will not produce the required results. The author
advocates, instead, the novel concept that the project manager or
team leader should coach the team as part of their role. Managing
complexity requires greater use of influence and less reliance on
coercion. Learning how to recognise the clues that reveal personal
preferences, character traits and motivations will allow you to
communicate in a way that recognises how different team members see
the world. Team coaching helps the project team work together to
think through their issues and then collectively implement the
solution. Tony Llewellyn has structured his book in two parts. Part
I looks at the challenges of complexity and makes the case for a
shift from a transactional directive mindset to a transformational
coaching philosophy. Part II introduces a model of project team
coaching including the processes and methodologies that have been
shown to be effective in improving team performance. Complex
projects are invariably messy, not least because of the human
factors associated with them. Performance Coaching for Complex
Projects is essential reading for anyone responsible for managing
in uncertain, challenging and changing environments.
55 proven tools and techniques to help team leaders and project
managers improve team performance in a complex environment. The
book also provides an introduction to the concept of team coaching
as a distinct management activity.
Up till the advent of the portable keyboard, the guitar for many
years held the position of the number one selling instrument in the
world. With good reason. The guitar is one of the few
self-contained instruments - in other words, it can play melody,
rhythm and harmony all on its own. It is also portable, relatively
inexpensive, and one of a small number of instruments that is
equally at home in all styles of music. From baroque to heavy
metal, from rock to jazz, from country to blues, the guitar fits
them all comfortably. As a solo instrument, in a band or for vocal
accompaniment, the guitar has no equal. If you want to learn how to
play the guitar, Accelerated Guitar Course is for you. The author
draws on many years of teaching experience to help the student
learn the basics as quickly as possible. Accelerated Guitar Course
covers basic open chords, bar chords, strumming, finger picking,
music reading, and more.
The Trinity is the belief that God is one God but expressed in
three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Yet the so-called
"Christian" cults reject the concept of the Trinity in favour of
Unitarianism, the belief that the Father is God, the Son is special
but still only the Son, and the Holy Spirit is merely God's active
force. In fact, one of the most difficult to understand ideas
taught in the Bible is the concept of the Trinity. Understanding
The Trinity explains in simple terms what is essentially a very
profound, divine truth. If you've ever struggled to explain to
someone that the Trinity is a Biblical truth with important
practical implications, and not just a concept for theologians to
debate, this book is for you. Beginning in the Old Testament, Tony
Llewellyn outlines how the inspired Jewish Scriptures foreshadowed
the truth that God is more than one person, explains how the very
name of God affirms His plurality, and reveals the teaching that
the promised Messiah would be God Himself. In the New Testament,
the Trinity is taught more explicitly and Understanding The Trinity
delves into its teaching on the deity of Christ as well as looking
at some of the objections. Also covered is information on why
teaching on the Trinity really matters and the roles of the
separate persons of the Godhead, including the Holy Spirit.
Need access to finger positions for all the most-used guitar scales
at a glance? Tired of trying to expand scales over the entire
guitar fretboard? Trying to figure out how different patterns for
the same scale fit together? Guitar improvisation is based on this
kind of information, and anyone wanting to play lead guitar would
usually say a resounding "yes " to these questions. The Guitarists'
Scale Manual is an essential tool for lead guitarists. Based on a
22-fret guitar, it shows fretboard diagrams for most of the scales
you will ever want to use: major, harmonic minor, modes, major
& minor pentatonic, blues, whole tone, diminished, and
half-diminished scales are all included in one book. No transposing
is necessary as each guitar scale is depicted separately in the
various keys. If you're serious about solo guitar, Guitarists'
Scale Manual is an essential tool of the trade.
Should Christians drink alcohol? Or should Christians abstain? This
is an issue that has polarised Christians into two extreme
viewpoints. And such a lot of unnecessary confusion So where do we
find the answers to these questions? In The Alcohol Question,
Pastor Tony Llewellyn explores the Old and New Testaments in the
belief that God's Word, not human opinion, is the ultimate source
of truth and that there is no higher authority than Scripture. This
in-depth study on alcohol and the Christian will show you that,
while the Bible clearly warns against drunkenness, there is nowhere
in Scripture that prohibits Christians from drinking alcohol in
moderation. In fact, the use of alcohol is part of the blessing of
God and the freedom we have in Christ However, despite clear
statements from the Bible, the debate rages. For instance, one
argument put forward to "prove" that Christians should never drink
alcohol is based on Proverbs 31:4: It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes intoxicating
drink. Since the Bible tells us that we are kings, doesn't this
verse tell us to abstain from alcohol? The Alcohol Question
explains how you could only come to this conclusion if you take the
verse completely out of context and ignore the rest of the passage.
But what about arguments like: Alcohol is such a problem in the
world that Christians should abstain for the sake of others. Or:
Shouldn't Christian leaders set a higher standard in their conduct?
These questions - and more - are dealt with in The Alcohol
Question. But here's the flip side. With freedom comes
responsibility and the principle of love. The Bible view is not
legalism, nor is it selfishness, but responsible Christian freedom.
Don't be left in the dark on this important topic. Buy The Alcohol
Question now to discover what the Bible says about Christians and
alcohol.
Common questions about God and Christianity often begin with "If
God is a God of love..." These are usually important questions and
Christians should not side-step the issues or get embarrassed as if
there were no answers. Why are there wars? Why is there death? Why
is there a hell? Why is there starvation? How do we explain these
realities in the light of a God of love? For instance, if God is
love, how do we explain the existence of hell? Does this not show
that God is cruel and harsh? Or worse, that He does not exist at
all? If God Is A God Of Love explains how, if God is love, there
must be a hell. It cannot possibly be any other way. Another
question is: Why is there starvation? Surely if God is a God of
love there would be plenty for all? Either He does not exist, or He
does not care, and thus, the blame is laid squarely at God's feet.
However, this book demonstrates that it is not God's fault at all.
He has provided more than enough for all, and human selfishness,
not God's lovelessness, is to blame for the world's starvation
problems. Easy to read and suitable for believers and seekers
alike, these are just some of the questions answered in If God Is A
God Of Love.
Ever wished you could write a song? Are you already a songwriter,
but looking for ways to improve and techniques to apply to your
craft? Written by an experienced songwriter and musician,
Successful Songwriting contains practical instruction on how to
write a song with examples taken from classic rock and gospel
music. This book will teach you about writing lyrics through
sections on lyrical hooks, rhyme types and patterns, imagery, song
content and themes. Also included is information on rhythmic
devices, creating a melody, song content, musical hooks, common
chord progressions, as well as techniques for overcoming writer's
block, and more. Successful Songwriting is designed for those who
want to use and improve their creative talent for Christian
songwriting.
One of the most baffling of Christian behaviours is the tendency to
self-destruct. With all the best intentions, and having given their
lives to Christ, they then set a course that inevitably steers them
away from Christian success and maturity and towards self-inflicted
pain and suffering. Since so many seem to set their sights on
failure, this book has been written with the aim of giving advice
on how to get to the bottom in style and as quickly as possible.
How To Mess Up Your Life is not just a book of Christian humor, but
a how-to manual providing systematic information on how to achieve
a goal of complete spiritual collapse. Read this book to discover
what not to do if you want to experience Christian success.
Spiritual warfare is an area of Christian life that is easily
relegated to one of two extremes. It is either seen as irrelevant
in our enlightened times and therefore ignored. Or it is viewed as
an activity to be engaged in on special occasions when the church
participates in a spiritual warfare meeting. That's just what the
devil would like us to think. This book is based on sound Biblical
teaching that every Christian, like it or not, is involved in
warfare daily. If you're serious about overcoming the devil, read
this book. Topics covered include: Satan's greatest weapon,
overcoming temptation, God's Word and other spiritual weapons, how
to use the whole armor of God, the real meaning of "in Jesus'
name," the power of the blood of Jesus, and more.
