In order to get power you have to give it away--one of the great yet seldom reconized paradoxes of the business world. As Diane Tracy demonstrates in her new book, when managers empower their employees, they gain real power for themselves.

Empowerment is the only way to create a win-win situation for the employee and the manager, the company and the customer.

The premise of the original 12 steps is incredible- the steps are recognizable, they've helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and they've stood the test of time. Yet the steps identity people based on their past, rather than their future. They identify the participant based on where they've been, rather than where they're going. In this manual, we walk through the steps- with a slightly new spin- one of grace, empowerment, and freedom. You'll discover who you are, how you've been completely remade with a completely new identity, and you'll receive encouragement to continue putting one foot in front of the other. Filled with practical tips, worksheets to help you build the map from where you are to where you want to be, and bonus online resources, this book will empower you to walk in freedom as you take your next best step.

The purpose of this book is to help those engaged in Christian formation, or those exploring faith perspectives for themselves, to see the Ten Commandments in a positive and liberating, rather than a restrictive, sense. Seen in the context of Israel’s story, the commandments are guidance toward a life of freedom in community. Commonly held meanings of faith, freedom, and love are challenged as social and political dimensions of this journey toward freedom are developed.
