Leading Up: How to Lead Your Boss So You Both Win , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 579min
Eight true stories show that leaders today aren’t just bosses, they’re self-starters who take charge even when they haven’t been given a charge. Upward leaders get results by helping their superiors lead. They make sure that good ideas don’t die on the vine because a boss’s understanding doesn’t reach down deep enough into the organization. Upward leadership assures that advice arrives from all points on the corporate compass, not just from the top down. And it applies at every level: Even CEOs need to learn about leading up because they ultimately answer to their boards. In Leading Up, Michael Useem offers instructive accounts of this vital and unexplored facet of leadership. Drawing on the extraordinary experiences of real people, Useem shows us what happens when those not in charge rise to the challenge, and also what happens when those who should step forward fail to do so:Civil War generals openly disrespected and frequently misinformed their commanders in chief, with tragic consequences for both sides.COO David Pottruck learned how to lead with his superiors at Charles Schwab & Co. in order to radically change Schwab’s core business. Had he been able to convince his superiors of the dire situation in Rwanda, United Nations commander Roméo Dallaire might have prevented the genocide that claimed 800,000 lives. The CEOs of CBS, Compaq, and British Airways concentrated on leading down when they needed to lead up to their boards, too. The result: All three were fired.U.S. Marine Corps general Peter Pace reconciled conflicting priorities while reporting to six bosses with varying agendas by keeping all of them informed and challenging them when necessary. Mount Everest mountaineers admitted they might have protected themselves and others from harm during a fateful ascent if only they had questioned their guides’ flawed instructions and decisions.

Mary: Ten Test Questions for the World's Finest Woman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 413min
Maybe It's Time You Learned the Truth.... The community of Christian faith worldwide knows her as the finest woman who ever lived. Born in obscurity to a distant descendant of Israel's magnificent King David, Mary, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, was honored by the Creator of the Universe to be the person through whom God himself would visit his own Creation. No matter what you may have thought you knew before about this first-century paragon of virtue and faith, there's a good possibility that you've been misinformed about her. In fact, chances are you've been wrong from the start about the most remarkable woman who ever walked the dusty roads of first-century Israel at the height of the Roman Empire's power. No, Mary isn't who you think she is. More than 20 centuries have come and gone since a teenage virgin became the mother of God's incarnate Son. As a result far too much myth has grown up around the person and story of the woman who became one of the foundational figures of human history. But what the New Testament records tell us about the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, is fascinating enough in its own right that accumulated legends seem to embellish the story. So today, more than 20 centuries later, biblical scholar and theologian Dr. William Welty pulls back the dusty curtain of historically inaccurate tradition and introduces you to the very human but utterly magnificent character of Mary, the mother of the Messiah, as she struggles to pass Ten Test Questions for the World's Finest Woman. In this analysis of every passage recorded in the New Testament in which she is mentioned, you'll learn why Mary, the mother of the rabbi from Nazareth, rose from literal obscurity to become one of the most pivotal figures in all of human history. ungekürzt.
