Leadership Principles and Purpose: Developing Leadership Effectiveness and Future-Focused Capability
Par David Sharpley. 2024
This book provides a fresh perspective on leadership and the steps required to achieve high performance. It explores how we…
create purpose by moving from vision and values through principles to action.Effective leaders do not only support and develop people --They develop systems (anchored in principles and procedures) that support future-focused capability. We all benefit from understanding the elements that contribute to exceptional leadership. Increasingly, we also need to appreciate the building blocks that link to sound corporate governance. Hence, the focus is on Environmental and Social Governance (ESG).The book explains how principles shape competencies and build motivation and commitment. The insights also reveal the importance of confirmed competence. This enhances self-belief and increases personal confidence when faced with challenging situations. It adds to resilience. Building on principles helps clarify how energy is best directed to achieve high performance. This also ensures consistency of approach. Values need to be made explicit through principles, which support the design of systems and help shape the culture of the workplace. Principles have relevance for managers, team leaders, and professionals who want to gain insight into how we enhance motivation and commitment at work. However, the information contained in this book goes further as it also raises self-awareness and encourages reflection on the broader issue of how people find meaning and purpose.The Calm Workbook: The Relax-and-Chill-Out Activity Book

regarding relationship, family and work - with razor-sharp analyses of hidden interactions and traumas. This book enables women to become aware of existing traps and obstacles, fears, feelings of guilt and other deep-seated emotions to help them leave behind restricting role attributions while power-balancing their lives between partner, children and career.Women often consider themselves as the patriarchy’s victims. Instead, the author identifies the fact that they lack awareness of their own power and the willingness to recognize it, the fact that women often neither admit nor accept their own power, as the prime reason why women remain stuck in traditional role models – for equality would require their powerful sovereignty. This book offers solutions to seemingly difficult situations, and experienced women leaders have their say. The recommendations on how to set a decisive course on the path to female empowerment leave readers with no room to retreat and hide behind familiar and often practiced counterarguments: This book encourages self-reflection as well as public discussion.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence.

This pragmatic book explains how to persevere through the grad school long haul, covering challenges both on and off campus.

Par Siobhan Curham. 2000
Pregnancy is often assumed to be a happy time in a woman's life. The prospect of having a baby together…
with the 'bloom' of pregnancy all combine to a general feeling of excitement and fulfillment. But it isn't always like this. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 10 mothers suffer from antenatal depression, where uncontrollable crying fits, mood swings and irrational fears dominate their pregnancy. And it doesn't just affect the mother: recent research has shown that antenatal depression can affect the fetus, in some cases causing low birth weight and premature delivery. Recent research has also shown that as many as a third of antenatal cases then go on to suffer from postnatal depression, which in itself affects 10 per cent of all new mothers. Antenatal and Postnatal Depression is a much-needed handbook for all mothers who suffer from ante- and/or postnatal depression, reassuring sufferers that they are not alone. It looks into the possible causes, offers practical advice and support and contains a Foreword by the Director of the Fetal and Neonatal Stress Research Centre at Queen Charlotte's Hospital, Dr Vivette Glover.The 7 Second CV: How to Land the Interview
