half engaged
Price : $9.99
Half Engaged is a reflective book about the moments people often move past too quickly. A thought goes unspoken. A concern gets explained away. A conversation opens, then closes before anyone steps into it.
Patterson explores what happens when people are present, but not fully engaged. Through concise stories and honest reflection, the book invites readers to notice what they already feel and respond with greater clarity.
This is a book for anyone who has left a conversation knowing there was something more to say.
Leader Evolution
From Technical Expertise to Strategic Leadership
Price : $9.99
Most individuals who move into leadership positions experience the modern-day version of trial by ordeal. It’s sink or swim. To reduce the learning curve and create a more effective process, this book describes a road map for leadership development, a series of four stages that expand personal competence as well as create a broader impact on the organization or business.
Each stage requires unique changes in thinking, perspective taking, and behavior, both those needed to acquire as well as those needed to jettison.
The book is a pragmatic approach for self-motived individuals to take control of their professional development by giving them the concepts, tools, techniques, and assignments to develop their leadership effectiveness where it counts the most—on the job. While highly relevant to new and existing managers, the book is ideally suited for technical professionals and leaders in technical organizations looking to develop critical leadership skills distinct from technical expertise.
The concepts and principles are directed toward the individual for on-the-job application, however, this also serves as an organizational and leadership development resource for Executive MBA programs, as well as a blueprint for in-house leadership development programs.
