Here is a list of books we find inspiring and interesting, for further study or simply to gain new insights and perspectives.
The Mastery of Management, Taibi Kahler, Ph.D.
The Mastery of Management looks at the realm of interaction between manager and employee in much the same way that Sherlock Holmes would scrutinize a crime scene. After revealing the formula for identifying the Personality Types of peers and associates, it shows executives how to lead others into productive behavior through knowledge of personality and awareness of psychological needs.
The book can be ordered directly at Kahler Communications, Inc or from 5C! Concept GmbH.
Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, John C. Maxwell
What the Most Effective People Do Differently
In his book, John Maxwell takes readers through the Five Connecting Principles and the Five Connecting Practices of top-notch achievers. He believes that a person’s ability to create change and results in any organization-be it a company, church, nonprofit, or even a family-is directly tied to the ability to use the teachings of this book.
The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict, Arbinger Institute
Have you ever felt like you couldn’t shake your anger, or your bitterness, or your anxiety? Or have you ever felt that others make you miserable – that despite your best efforts to make things work, people at home or work seem committed to undercutting your happiness or your success? “The Anatomy of Peace” is an exploration of war, wherever it is found, and peace, wherever it is hoped for – in our personal relationships, our workplaces, our communities, or the world. “The Anatomy of Peace” shows how we can be freed from the fears, resentments, and conflicts that hold us captive.
Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships, Daniel Goleman
Goleman persuasively argues for a new social model of intelligence drawn from the emerging field of social neuroscience. Describing what happens to our brains when we connect with others, Goleman demonstrates how relationships have the power to mold not only human experience but also human biology. In lucid prose he describes from a neurobiological perspective sexual attraction, marriage, parenting, psychopathic behaviors and the group dynamics of teachers and workers.
