This book focuses on the unspoken nuances and subtleties of leadership.

Leaders today come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds. It is also quite common to use the term manager and leader interchangeably.This book is about the person who strives to take the giant step to become the Leader Coach. While certainly still a manager and a leader, the role of Leader Coach is all about the special relationship that develops between Leader Coach and Player through the art of effective communication. By developing your team (players) through the use of the Social, Performance, and Developmental Conversations, a Leader Coach can help release achievement drive and enhance performance in their players. It is also about the joy and self-actualization thatoccurs during the Journey when a Leader Coach and the Player mutually take the risk and expose their souls to one another during this evolutionary and sometimes extraordinary process. The Leadership Coaching Coefficient Triangle is presented for the leader to conduct self-analysis, to determine current and future leadership capabilities. This book is designed as a pragmatic, how-to book for the leader who is serious about building or improving his or her organization, one person at a time. Intended more as a guide, the authors share personal insights, anecdotesand experiences from both theirprofessional and personal livesthat have made them successful in these endeavors. From servant leadership and selfless giving on the part of the Leader Coach to the ownership of the change that takes place in the person being coached, Leader Coaching is both the hardest, yet most rewarding, work that a leader can engage in, and when done properly, becomes the Leader Coach's legacy.

Too many companies are managed not by leaders, but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What does it take to be a real leader—one who is confident in who she is and what she stands for, and who truly inspires people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don’t become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers’ hearts, minds, and souls. They are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behaviors to respond effectively in changing contexts. In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy one’s unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: showing emotion and withholding it, getting close to followers while keeping distance, and maintaining individuality while “conforming enough.” Underscoring the social nature of leadership, the book also explores how leaders can remain attuned to the needs and expectations of followers. Why Should Anyone Be Led By You? will forever change how we view, develop, and practice the art of leadership, wherever we live and work.

Satan has an arsenal of weapons at his disposal that he employs daily to defeat and capture souls. He will test, tempt, put you on trial, and convict you without reservation. Included in the devil’s arsenal are three main components, discussed in this book. Using these weapons, he intends to defeat and steal your soul away from the creator God. Firstly, he has a well-thought-out plan, specifically molded to defeat each individual God created. Satan has a very effective way of getting to every person alive. He knows his targets, oftentimes better than they know themselves. Secondly, his well-trained army of humans and demons hide everywhere to ambush their prey in places you would least expect to find them. They bring their wit and abilities with them to the battlefield and lurk around every corner of life. Finally, there are weapons that are abundant and finely honed to capture the unwitting soul. The weapons include semantics, deception, compromise, peer pressure, and social media. Cognitive threats and abuse, social threats and abuse, and an abundance of other weapons are exposed in this manuscript. Today’s cults, occult, and all false religions intentionally steal innocent hearts. Their lies will sound good, but the intent is only evil. Here are the weapons Satan uses.
