"Seeking fulfillment, many Christians turn to identities that promise to give their lives meaning: profession, roles as spouse or parent, personality types, even sexuality—anything that can be held up to others as the core of who they are. But when these new labels don't give them any real foundation for hope, they end up feeling disappointed, directionless, and defeated. Those false identities turn out to be only sand.
John and Angel Beeson have seen this problem again and again in their respective roles as pastor and counselor. And they want searching Christians to know the truth: a fulfilling understanding of self can only be found by rooting one's identity in the unchangeable and nonnegotiable understanding of who we were created to be.
This husband-and-wife team considers ten identities that masquerade as truth and challenge listeners to trade those labels for the ones Christ offers. They explain why true identity matters, how our masks can suffocate us, and how substitute identities can become idolatry. They share real struggles from real people. And they offer hope in a comprehensive index of our identities in Christ, both individual and the collective identity of the church."
"La mayoría de los líderes consideran la “presencia ejecutiva” como un factor decisivo en las
promociones y ascensos. Pero, ¿en qué consiste esa virtud tan ambigua y cómo se desarrolla?.
De la mano de especialistas de Harvard Business Review, en este libro se explica cómo es posible
forjar el carisma, la seguridad y la determinación que proyectan los grandes líderes. Tanto si estás realizando una exposición decisiva como si diriges una reunión tensa, te sentirás preparado para abordar cualquier situación con renovada confanza"
"As predictable career paths have become extinct in most organizations, managers aspiring to the C-level job are often left to their own devices to determine how to advance their careers. Even in companies that devote considerable time to succession planning and talent development, the messages to aspiring executives are often vague and contradictory. In some cases your boss may find it hard to articulate exactly what it is that is holding you--an otherwise top performing managerback from promotion. In other cases the issues affecting your ability to move up the ladder have been discussed and identified by your superiors, but they hesitate to provide direct feedback for fear of de-motivating a valued manager the company doesnt want to lose. What youneed is real guidance on what the 'make or break' issues are when it comes to your career success. Top executive coach John Beeson argues that while, politics, personal relationships and even cronyism do on occasion play a role in executive placements, more often such decisions are made based on the decision makers intuitive sense of whether or not a manager can succeed at higher levels within the organization. In this practical and insightful book, Beeson de-codes these leadership criteria--the unwritten rules--that companies use to make decisions about who gets promoted versus those whose careers become stalled. He identifies and describes the six selection factors that are imperative for any senior leader to lead effectively at the executive level: Demonstrating strategic skills: the ability to generate winning strategies, create a sense of direction for the organization, and engage others behind that vision of the future. Building a strong management team: the ability to identify and attract talent. Managing implementation: the ability to move from strategy to executionwithout being pulled too deeply into the details of implementation. Exhibiting the capacity for innovation and change: the ability to depart from the status quo and lead large-scale change when circumstances require it. Working across organizational boundaries: the ability to work with and through others across the company to get things done. Projecting executive presence: the ability to quickly establish your credibility as a senior leader. Filled with the stories of managers who successfully climbed up the executive ladderand some who struggled and failed to achieve their career goalsThe Unwritten Rules will provide the information you need to sharpen your leadership capabilities and maximize your chances of getting that next promotion."
