Mother Teresa : CEO - Ruma Bose

Image
Are you wanting to step up your leadership skills and follow the tradition of Mother Teresa ? Synopsis : Mother Teresa, CEO - Ruma Bose - July 2011 This book details the leadership principles used by Mother Teresa in building one of the world’s largest and most successful organizations, with this as its central lesson: leaders must articulate a simple vision, and execute it with absolute practicality. Bose—who spent eight months working with Mother Teresa in 1992-3—and Faust have distilled Mother Teresa’s leadership style into nine essential principles. Each principle shows readers how to apply Mother Teresa’s wisdom in their lives and businesses. Much has been written about Mother Teresa. She is an actual saint, beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2003, as well as the winner of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, This book is the first to view her in another light—as a pragmatic, realistic leader who over 47 years raised billions of dollars and helped millions of people.

Review: Forbidden - Tabitha Suzuma

Love can be such a confusing topic and sometimes we can't help who we fall in love with , Check out Tabitha Suzumas Book "Forbidden". Review : Forbidden - Tabitha Suzuma - June 2011 Depending on whereabouts you live , it will depend on which cover you recieve . For me in little ol' New Zealand, we had the black cover , which personally I like as it stands out more than the red. And the barbed wire heart looks more realistic on black than red. Have you read the Virginia Andrew's series "Flowers in the Attic" , seen the film "Clueless" ? In many films and books, we see that Love can be a complicated issue and in more cases than not family members have fallen in love with each other , more often than not it's step or half-siblings like in Clueless between Cher and her Stepbrother Paul , or in Charlaine Harris's Harper Connelly series we see half-siblings Harper and Tolliver eventually together. However, the one book that I have seen real...

Review: Deep Trouble - Mary Connealy

Wanting a Historical Christian Fiction, one that set in the Wild West ? Review: Deep Trouble - Mary Connealy - May 2011 Have you ever wanted something so bad , that no matter what anyone else says , you will be as stubborn as a mule to find it and do it your way ? For Shannon Dysart , she believed in her father and when everyone else thought he was delusional , she believed in him with all her heart. In a way, Deep Trouble by Mary Connealy reminded me alot of the movie National Treasure starring Nicholas Cage and Fool's Gold starring Kate Hudson. As in National Treasure, nobody believed Nicholas Cage's character's grandfather about the treasure except for him and in Fool's Gold, it was said that the treasure was left by the Spanish. In Deep Trouble , we hear the story behind the City of Gold starting in the year 1150 in Madrid, Spain and working it's way to America. On the expedition, Shannon is caught up into trouble and left to die and her saviour is in the fo...

A nation where software companies have developed and successfully marketed “fantasy government” games in which players take on the roles of cabinet members and congressmen—passing laws, handling crises, and solving problems with street ideas that are neither Democratic nor Republican, but truly independent. Then try picturing what happens when the gamers’ fantasy becomes reality? In Naperville, Illinois, Jay Weise, an insurance adjustor by day, serves as President of the United States. Using his inheritance to transform his home office into the Oval Office and his basement into a White House-like Situation Room, he’s put together the greatest fantasy gove...

Review: Cinderella : Ninja Warrior - Twisted Tales Book #2 - Maureen McGowan - April 2011 As a child growing up on books , I used to love reading the choose your own adventure novels where you read a page and at the bottom of it , you chose an option which would send you to Pg 18 or Pg 29 and each time you would read it , something different would occur. You had no idea which way the story was going to lead you or how it ended as in the end that final page was all your own doing , your decision making skills.
