by David Clutterbuck'This book is a must for anyone involved in organizational coaching' Adrian Moorhouse, Managing Director, Lane4 & Olympic Gold MedallistCoaching the Team at Work, 4e is the result of research over 20 years with practising team coaches and with major corporations around the world.

This revised edition explores the six most significant aspects:* Purpose and motivation* Systems and processes relating to external stakeholders* Relationships, especially within the team* Systems and processes relating to internal functions (such as quality and decision-making)* Learning (how the team adapts to keep up with the pace of change)* Leadership (how the functions of leadership are exercised within the team)When these aspects are aligned, a team can perform at its best; but when any one or more of the aspects is malfunctioning, the result is underperformance.This book helps team coaches develop their skills to support teams in understanding these complex dynamics and, as a result, in developing more effective ways of working together.

The Code: Use the Laws of Manifestation to Achieve Your Highest Good
by Tony BurroughsThe author and co-founder of The Intenders of the Highest Good shares his practice of self-empowerment and manifesting the highest good as a community. Tony Burroughs was living and farming in Hawaii when a mentor came to him and, over the course of fifteen years, taught him lessons he simply referred to as The Information. Burroughs and two others formed a spiritual circle to practice the lessons provided by the mentor and distilled them into a personal honor code available to all people wishing to prepare for a time of great change. Burroughs, along with thousands of others who have formed "Intenders Circles" throughout the world, is sharing a simple and powerful message: that which you are reaching toward is also reaching out toward you. The practice is, literally, as easy as one, two, three: say your intentions out loud daily, go to an Intenders Circle, and state that in order for your intentions to manifest they must serve the Highest and Best Good of the Universe, yourself, and everyone concerned. Since there are no limits on what you can think about, there are no limits on what you can intend.

The Code of Trust: An American Counterintelligence Expert's Five Rules to Lead and Succeed
by Cameron Stauth Joe Navarro Robin DreekeA counterintelligence expert shows readers how to use trust to achieve anything in business and in life.Robin Dreeke is a 28-year veteran of federal service, including the United States Naval Academy, United States Marine Corps. He served most recently as a senior agent in the FBI, with 20 years of experience. He was, until recently, the head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, where his primary mission was to thwart the efforts of foreign spies, and to recruit American spies. His core approach in this mission was to inspire reasonable, well-founded trust among people who could provide valuable information.The Code of Trust is based on the system Dreeke devised, tested, and implemented during years of field work at the highest levels of national security. Applying his system first to himself, he rose up through federal law enforcement, and then taught his system to law enforcement and military officials throughout the country, and later to private sector clients. The Code of Trust has since elevated executives to leadership, and changed the culture of entire companies, making them happier and more productive, as morale soared.Inspiring trust is not a trick, nor is it an arcane art. It’s an important, character-building endeavor that requires only a sincere desire to be helpful and sensitive, and the ambition to be more successful at work and at home. The Code of Trust is based on 5 simple principles:1) Suspend Your Ego2) Be Nonjudgmental3) Honor Reason4) Validate Others5) Be GenerousTo be successful with this system, a reader needs only the willingness to spend eight to ten hours learning a method of trust-building that took Robin Dreeke almost a lifetime to create.

Codependence and the Power of Detachment: How to Set Boundaries and Make Your Life Your Own
by Karen CaseyFree yourself from codependency and reclaim your sanity, peace, and inner strength with this guide by the bestselling author of Each Day a New Beginning. Too many of us live as if what other people think matters more than what we think, which leads to constantly trying to please or change others. Living this way is called codependency. It is an insidious and pervasive addiction. But there is a simple path to recovery: detachment. In Codependence and the Power of Detachment, bestselling author Karen Casey shares her own story of struggling with codependency, as well as the stories of others. Casey uses the insights and tools she&’s discovered from her many years of sobriety to take readers through the steps of detaching from a bad situation: admitting the attachment, surrendering the outcome, forgiving, and focusing on what works. She describes how to pay attention, be aware, take care of ourselves, and let others—husbands, family, and coworkers—become accountable for themselves.
