The Spirit of Leadership: Cultivating the Attributes That Influence Human Action
You were born to lead. Now it’s time to become a leader. Leaders may be found in boardrooms, but they may also be found in families, schools, and organizations of all kinds—anywhere people interact, nurture, create, or build. Contrary to popular opinion, leadership is not meant for an elite group of people who, by fate or accident, become leaders while everyone else is consigned to being a lifelong follower. After personally training thousands of leaders from around the world, best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe reports that while every person possesses the potential of leadership, many do not understand how to cultivate the leadership nature and how to apply it to their lives. In The Spirit of Leadership, Dr. Munroe defines the unique attitudes that all effective leaders exhibit, explains how to eliminate hindrances to your leadership abilities, and helps you to fulfill your particular calling in life.

Leadership: It’s In Your DNA
“My dream with this book is simple – to show you that your leadership DNA sits alongside your biological DNA,” writes the management consultant Rhea Duttagupta. Well that’s a relief! Every manager has times when they doubt – for which, read panic about – their ability to channel their inner Churchill, so it is good to know that we all have the potential to be great leaders.
Duttagupta argues that everyone has the 10 special ingredients needed to create a strong leader. It is down to each of us to unlock our unique blend. So what is the recipe? First comes ‘self’ and then ‘expression’, which is followed by ‘focus’ – and so on and so on.
This is nothing that seasoned managers haven’t heard before, but Duttagupta’s emphasis on getting your mix right is both refreshing and reassuring. It might be that you lack ‘resilience’, or you might need more ‘instinct’, or perhaps you don’t create enough of the right kind of ‘luck’. If the latter is your problem, it’s not because you were born without a luck quotient – the capacity to create circumstances in which what we call luck can occur. It is more about your ability to attract and seize on opportunities to channel that luck. Isn’t it time you got lucky?

Think Small: The Surprisingly Simple Ways to Reach Big Goals
A simple and accessible plan for success, based on seven scientifically tested steps that really work. We’re often told to dream big, the sky’s the limit and that nothing is impossible. While it is undoubtedly good advice to set yourself goals that have the potential to make you and those around you healthier and happier, how to reach those goals is often less clear. From getting fit or securing a new job to becoming a better manager or parent, simply setting your mind to something will rarely get you where you want to be, and big plans can quickly become overwhelming, leaving us feeling as though we’ve failed. Most of us set goals with very good intentions, so why do our best-laid plans so often go awry? When we’re so committed to making positive changes and fulfilling our ambition at the outset, is there a way of avoiding the common roadblocks that stand between our goals and us? Thankfully, the answer is yes – and it’s much easier to achieve than you might think. Working inside the world’s first Nudge Unit, Owain Service and Rory Gallagher know the huge impact that small changes and clear plans, based on a scientific understanding of human behavior, can have from an individual to an international level. For the first time, Think Small takes these successful approaches and translates them into an easy, simple framework that has the potential to make a big difference to all our lives.
