Sales Coaching by Benedict

Nach diesen Grundsätzen lebt der Benediktinerorden seit vielen Jahrhunderten. Doch die Benediktsregel hat nicht nur im Kloster ihren Platz. Sie kann ebenso für die Optimierung von Vertriebsprozessen angewandt werden - und liefert überraschende Ergebnisse. Wie das gelingt, wird in diesem Buch deutlich. Der Autor Karl Herndl überträgt die Grundkonstanten der Benediktsregel auf den Vertrieb und gibt direkt umsetzbare Antworten auf konkrete Fragestellungen: Wie entwickelt man eine Ordnung, in der Umsätze langfristig wachsen? Wie schaffen Führungskräfte eine Kultur der gegenseitigen Wertschätzung? Welche Konstanten sind für erfolgreiche Verkaufs- und Führungsgespräche notwendig? Als Fallbeispiel dient der Coaching-Prozess eines renommierten Versicherungsunternehmens, das vom Autor erfolgreich betreut wurde. Die hier eingeführte ,,Sales-Ordnung" kann auf alle Branchen übertragen werden kann. ,,Herndl ordnet den Tagesablauf der Verkäufer und Führungskräfte im Vertrieb, schafft eine Kultur der gegenseitigen Wertschätzung und gleichzeitig ein verlässliches Erreichen der vereinbarten Vertriebsergebnisse. " Dr. Notker Wolf, Abtprimas des Benediktinerordens ,,Karl Herndl zeigt Führungskräften, WIE man führt. Ganzheitliches Denken und Organisieren und dies mit der Fokussierung auf die Grundlagen und das Tun, das macht die Botschaften dieses Buches wertvoll. " Michael Rentmeister, CEO, OVB Holding AG

Salo Solo. El patrullero del amor
by Mauricio KartunSalomón, un viudo de mediana edad, decide salir a la aventura de encontrar pareja sentimental. Y no sentirse solo. «-Circule, Salomón. Circule. En los lugares de siempre no va a encontrar nada: con las que tenía que pasar ya pasó, y con las otras no va a pasar nunca. Ábrase y circule.» Salomón Goldfarb es viudo y ha pasado largo los sesenta. Cerró su localcito de cueros y vive del alquiler. Intenta seguir con su vida pero la soledad lo abruma. Entra en aquel círculo -literalmente vicioso- del ansiolítico y el desvelo; y una tarde, en busca rutinaria de la receta mensual, un médico nuevo de la prepaga lo lanza a circular. Salo, bajito, inseguro siempre, decide salir a la conquista y comienzan allí sus aventuras. Frecuenta teatros, talleres literarios, seminarios de filosofía. Abre una cuenta en Tinder; recupera el contacto con su prima, a quien no ve hace décadas; se acerca a su vecina del piso de abajo; se va de camping; baila; hace de extra en una película y hasta se une a un grupo de activistas provida. Sin demasiado éxito, pero decidido a lograrlo como sea, Salo se convierte en el patrullero del amor. Mauricio Kartun, con el humor irreverente que conocemos de su teatro, despliega en esta novela su finísimo oído, su habilidad para contar historias y su maestría para crear esos personajes inolvidables, que siempre nos recuerdan lo patético, pero también lo sensible de la condición humana.

As the acclaimed historian Mark Mazower follows the city's inhabitants through plague, invasion, famine, and the disastrous twentieth century, he resurrects a fascinating and vanished world.

The Salt of the Universe: Praise, Songs, and Improvisations
by Amy LeachA book of mischief and improvisation that answers fundamentalism with rage, music, and delight in this earth. A book of mischief and improvisation, The Salt of the Universe answers fundamentalism of all kinds with rage, music, and delight. It asks questions that are urgent, impossible, necessary, and irresistible: Where does freedom live? Why does it sometimes feel so good to be told what to do? What on heaven and earth is the Apicklypse?These and other inquiries arise from Amy Leach’s experience: playing fiddle and piano (and sometimes the organ); her childhood in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and its many prohibitions (coffee, dancing) and emphasis on the apocalypse. After listening to thousands of sermons from a variety of pulpits, here Leach is offering one of her own. She borrows the words of an old hymn, and says: “This is my story, this is my song.” Accompanied by four-year-old mystics and six-year-old geologists, bears and butterflies and willow trees, she praises not obedience but freedom, not secondhand but firsthand thoughts, not homogeneity but heterogeneity. She champions Emily Dickinson and Jesus over interfering prophets, questions over answers, the soul over the institution, Miles Davis over miles of marching.The Salt of the Universe argues against argument, and against restrictions of all kinds and their limiting effect on our humanity. In this whirlwind of linguistic cartwheels, philosophical shenanigans, and praise songs to the cosmos, Leach reminds us: we must run toward mischief, music, love, the wonders of nature, and the wild joys of all that we don’t yet know.
Salted with Fire (The Cullen Collection #36)
by George MacDonaldThe Scottish literary master&’s final full-length realistic novel—his prodigal son tour de force. MacDonald&’s 1897 novel, Salted with Fire, is replete with dense Scottish dialect and spiritual themes. The repentance (through fire) of young minister James Blatherwick, who recognizes the sham of his pretended spirituality, is reminiscent of Thomas Wingfold&’s spiritual journey. It also embodies in fictional form one of MacDonald&’s signature themes from his first volume of Unspoken Sermons, &“The Consuming Fire.&” Along with these themes, the return of one of MacDonald&’s favorite character &“types,&” the humble Scottish peasant bard, in the person of cobbler John MacLear, establishes Salted with Fire as a work of lasting importance in the MacDonald corpus. It arguably offers a fitting climax to MacDonald&’s life message. This new edition by MacDonald biographer Michael Phillips streamlines the occasionally ponderous Victorian narrative style and updates the thick Doric dialect into readable English.

Salty Wives, Spirited Mothers, and Savvy Widows: Capable Women of Purpose and Persistence in Luke's Gospel
by F. Scott SpencerEngaging feminist hermeneutics and philosophy in addition to more traditional methods of biblical study, Salty Wives, Spirited Mothers, and Savvy Widows demonstrates and celebrates the remarkable capability and ingenuity of several women in the Gospel of Luke. While recent studies have exposed women's limited opportunities for ministry in Luke, Scott Spencer pulls the pendulum back from a negative feminist-critical pole toward a more constructive center. Granting that Luke sends somewhat "mixed messages" about women's work and status as Jesus' disciples, Spencer analyzes such women as Mary, Elizabeth, Joanna, Martha and Mary, and the infamous yet intriguing wife of Lot -- whom Jesus exhorts his followers to "remember" -- as well as the unrelentingly persistent women characters in Jesus' parables.

De esta investigación inusitada surge un libro único.

Salud y Shalom: Conversations with Jewish Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade
by Joseph ButwinJewish volunteers made up almost one-third of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (ALB) during the Spanish Civil War. Most belonged to a Communist Party focused on the antifascist goals of the Popular Front and faithful to the internationalist idea of erasing ethnicity, including Jewish ethnicity. Joseph Butwin’s oral history presents conversations with ten Jewish veterans of the ALB. Recorded from 1992–94 in the wake of European communism’s collapse, the interviews explore the milieus that formed the volunteers. Immigrants established the secular Yiddish-speaking socialism that became a part of many Jewish American communities. Their children, reacting to economic depression and the rise of fascism, enlisted in the ALB. Butwin follows their stories from their youthful motives and choices through their lives as Jews and leftists, and records the reckonings that took place as they reflected on their past. Insightful and revealing, Salud y Shalom explores the forces of identity and history that led young Jewish leftists to fight fascism.
