Publisher's Summary:

In 2007, fundraising professional Mary Valloni walked through the doors of another nonprofit organization, determined she was going to break the cycle of fundraising burnout and frustration. She wrote on the white board in her new office: "Work smarter, not harder."

This is the eye-opening journey of a fundraiser who was looking for freedom and found it after years of successfully creating and implementing these seven steps. Wouldn't it be incredible if nonprofit leaders around the world had the ability to act, speak, and think without holding back? Could we dare to change the way we think so we could engage more donors and volunteers than ever before?

A great fundraising guide to meximize your fundraising goal

I enjoy reading books from authors who share their skillful experiences to help their readers to achieve maximum results. Fundraising Freedom from Mary Valloni is one of these priceless books. Needless to say, this book is about fundraising. Mary simplifies her years of experiences into 7 easy steps. What I like the most in Fundraising Freedom is that it highlights the importance of WHY.

I notice how much more momentum it gains when one is strongly aware of the reason behind the action. Let me give you an example so you fully understand what I mean. Two fundraisers aid to raise funds for a charity. One just ask anyone to give a donation. The other follows Mary's teaching: she does her researches and persuade the donors to write a big check. Who can achieve the maximum result in your opinion?

Perfect Book for Individuals, Missionaries and larger Organizations.

I was excited to sit down and read Mary Valloni's clear book on fundraising. In this much needed resource the wisdom that has been spelled out in 7 easy steps to build a passionate fundraising campaign. Mary's book, Fundraising Freedom surprised me with how smooth and easy it was to read and follow. It creates a clean direct path that will make a difference and help you impact the world. May it encourage your world as you set your goals.

Fundraising Demystified

Mary's seven steps to Fundraising Freedom reveal a proven method to partner with the people who can enable your nonprofit to fulfill its misson.

The book shows the reader not only how to recruit volunteers and donors but to "bring them into the family" of your nonprofit or cause, so that the right people stay with you and/or organisation for the long haul.

To my great delight I was provided with an advance reader copy of this book and finished it in a matter of days.

This is a highly-readable, practical guide to get results when raising funds. It is a deep-dive that gives the reader insight - no matter how big (or small) your target is - whether you are an individual or part of a complex organisation.

The anecdotes from the author's experience in the fundraising profession are authentic, showing her highs and lows. The author demonstrates business sense and professionalism, alongside a raw passion for her work.

I do not work in fundraising, but this guide is so easy to read that it makes the process accessible to me as an outsider.

Five stars.

Fundraiser or not, you need to read this book!

Incredible book. It's obvious that the author is wise beyond her years.

Title: Lose Your Limits: Grow Your Business

Members Reviews:

Personal presentation of established motivational advice makes for compelling read

Although Lose Your Limits draws heavily from other sources and certainly isn't the first piece of self-help literature to use a "5 keys" model, it offers a unique perspective through Christian's personal anecdotes. By framing established motivational concepts in the context of his own life experiences, Christian makes his 5 keys compelling and relatable. Every one of his keys is sound advice and the chapter exercises he provides makes it easier to use his advice rather than just read it. I am certain that I will be able to apply his tips to improve my own life and career and I'm sure you can as well.

This book isn't for everyone...

Limiting beliefs are universal. They're those little voices inside your head telling you that you can't achieve your goals. Christian makes an excellent point near the beginning of the book: "Most people would rather do nothing than fight these voices". Because it's easier to do nothing about it then work towards overcoming these fears.

This book is for those serious about understanding why limiting beliefs exist and how to break through them. Christian provides a framework that is beautiful in its simplicity - anyone can understand it, and only those serious about making a change in their life will truly experience the value it provides.

Valuable, easy to read and to the point

I was a little suspicious when saw all 5 ratings, but they are well deserved. I am thankful to author to not stretch content to over 400 pages. The book has just about 130 pages of useful content and everything is to the point.

The book is easy to read. Although some concepts are known from before, author describes them on simple way which proves he understands them. Also, I found several new ideas that I didn't see in other books. Highly recommended read even for already successful people.

A business book that surprised me!

This book was really well done. I've definitely read my share of business books, and over time, they all start looking and sounding the same. But this one challenged me in new ways that I found very interesting and inspiring. I like to skim as I read, but certain questions that Christian was asking in this book made me take a step back, and reflect upon my life. And he presented several ideas that i could take tangible action on.

Title: Influence Without Authority, 3rd Edition

Author: Allan R. Cohen, David L. Bradford

Narrator: Christopher Price

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-21-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

Get what you need to achieve your objectives and produce results

Influence Without Authority is the classic guide to getting what you need from people you don't control. Getting things done requires collaboration, and convincing others to contribute requires political skill; this book introduces the Exchange Model, in which you get what you need by offering something of value in return. The key lies in knowing what the other person values - that's their "currency", and it's your immediate tool for coaxing their cooperation. This model has been proven over decades, as organizations around the world have turned away from frustration and resignation toward collaboration and results. This book shows you how to implement the Exchange Model at the personal, team, and organizational level to raise the bar for performance and leadership.

This new third edition has been updated reflect the changing face of the workplace, and includes new examples and information on geographically dispersed virtual teams. Supplementary PDF materials facilitate classroom and training use with discussions, role-play, videos, and other ancillaries that deepen understanding and promote practical application.

The ability to influence those not under your authority is becoming ever more valuable. Organizations are flattening, and outside contractors are taking on larger roles than ever before - getting results now means lateral cooperation, often across borders, time zones, organizations, and more. Influence Without Authority provides a proven model for success in this new environment, with expert guidance for real-world application.

Members Reviews:

Good place to start and examine your own influence.

This was okay. It was fairly academic and made me wonder if the author had as much insight and experience as needed to truly address the subject. It's not an in depth treatment of the subject, but it's a good start. Title does not equate to influence, and the author does a fairly decent job of describing how to build influence in your environment.

Five Stars

Great book for anyone trying to lead or influence without legitimate power.

Everyone should read before joining an organization

Clear writing style, real world examples. Should be in every must read list.

One of the best management books I've read.

Three Stars

Good read. Mostly common sense but good nonetheless

Four Stars

It was a good read and served as a refresher of already learned ideas.

Title: That's Not How We Do It Here!

Subtitle: A Story About How Organizations Rise, Fall - and Can Rise Again

Author: John Kotter, Holger Rathgeber

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the audio edition of That's Not How We Do It Here! by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber, read by Bahni Turpin and John Kotter.

Includes a downloadable PDF of diagrams.

That's Not How We Do It Here! is a business parable about a clan of meerkats who live in the Kalahari. Well-organised and efficient, the colony enjoys many years of successful growth until it suddenly comes under threat from a new form of predator and is forced to rethink its organizational structure. John Kotter uses this charming parable to explore why organizations often struggle no matter their past success and why they fall. Kotter shows that by embracing reliability, efficiency, speed and agility and building passion, discipline and personal growth, organizations can once again prosper, fulfil their mission, create great jobs and services and generate wealth.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our desktop site.

Members Reviews:

Quick read with an easy to follow story line

Quick read with an easy to follow story line. I'd recommend to use as a "team read" for topic illustration in work with management team members. Helps to convey how all managers are not leaders and balance is key. If you've studied leadership and organizational dynamics at any depth, there's not much new to learn here. But overall, I'd recommend.

Survival kit for Change Management

Very interesting approach to talk about innovation in organizations wherein their survival in the business world is at stake. Question is: aren't all business at stake?

If you like fables for adults

If you like fables for adults, then this is a decent read. It's definitely more for people in position who can affect change or impact teams, structures, etc. in their jobs, but it does offer a good perspective on how to approach culture and work.

This will book change millions of lives

This book was part of the reason that I took my current job with Kotter International. This is the sixth book that I've read by Dr. John Kotter over the past five years, and one of hundreds of business books that I've read during my career. This book will change things. The last time that I was this excited about the potential impact that a book can have on the lives of millions of people was my first time reading Crucial Conversations (Switzler et al). That's Not How We Do It Here! is a phrase that I have heard many times in my career; understandably, each time that I heard it, my passion for the organization waned. I am certain that if armed with the concepts of this book, my previous employers would realize lower employee turnover, and higher employee innovation leading to improved bottom line results. I have shared the book with many of them.

That's Not How We Do It Here! is a business fable, in the style of Our Iceberg is Melting (Kotter Rathgeber) and 5 Dysfunctions of a Team (Lencioni). Destin Sandlin said once, "Knowledge does not equal understanding" and that could not be a better explanation of why so many business books have been bought and read, and yet, many business leaders and managers fail to improve.

Title: Open Source Leadership

Subtitle: Reinventing Management When There Is No More Business as Usual

Author: Rajeev Peshawaria

Narrator: Jeff Cummings

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-27-17

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Business, Management

Publisher's Summary:

From taxi rides, hotel stays, car driving, to communicating and paying, business as usual is a thing of the past. This revolutionary model is the secret to driving profitability and growth in today's transformed business landscape.

Free and abundant information, 24/7 connectivity, and the empowerment of everyone has transformed every company into an open-source organization and you must adapt in order to succeed.

Open Source Leadership explains why the most relied-upon management practices today are ineffective, and it provides a new, counterintuitive model for seizing the competitive edge and holding it in any industry. The author challenges conventional thinking, overturning a host of management myths about what works and what doesn't. His approach gives you highly practical tools and techniques you need to source talent and innovation easier and quicker than ever.

Members Reviews:

The power and impact of âtop-down/bold leadershipâ

According to Rajeev Peshawaria, the results of a global study â 16,000 respondents in 28 countries â indicate that about 75% of them agree with this statement: âWhen it comes to achieving breakthrough success for the organization, a significant amount of top-down/bold leadership is required.â

Quite true. Not everyone aspires to provide that leadership but most agree that [begin italics] someone [end italics] must if anything truly significant is accomplished. James OâToole nailed it when suggesting that cultural resistance to organizational change (especially transformation) is the most difficult to overcome, the result of what he so aptly characterizes as âthe ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom.â

Peshawaria urges his reader to think about issues such as these:

o Millions of people are now being trained at great expense for jobs that no longer exist.

o An even greater number of people are unqualified for the jobs that do exist.

o Meanwhile, global population will be at least nine billion by 2050 and probably sooner, creating increasingly greater pressure on natural resources such as food and water.

o And meanwhile, the leadership needed at all levels and in all areas -- to ask the right questions in order to solve the right problems -- is not being developed...at least not in sufficient quantity.

o Leaders in almost all organizations lack an open source mentality. They resent and feel threatened by principled dissent, especially from direct reports.

o Worse yet, if innovation is involved, collaboration with customers and competitors is incomprehensible to the closed source mentality. In todayâs business world, most of the silos are disguised as executives who remain convinced that wet highways cause rain.

For almost twenty years, I have read and reviewed several thousand business books for Amazon US, UK, and Canada in addition to my own website, The best of these books serve as a window to new or better ideas as well as a mirror to other ideas that many (most) leaders cherish and sustain. Those now held captive to âthe ideology of comfort and the tyranny of customâ were probably among those who replaced the previous status quo in their organization.

Itâs time for you to become an open source leader and help replace the status quo in your own organization.

Resumen del editor:

¿Qué cualidades se necesitan para ser un buen jefe?

¿Cómo se consiguen la autoridad y la credibilidad necesarias para dirigir de forma efectiva? Este libro responde a estas y a otras muchas preguntas, y nos recuerda los principios universales que nos permiten colaborar con los demás, ya sea en el trabajo o en elámbito familiar:

Los principios del liderazgo son tan simples que se nos han olvidado por completo. Confundimos la autoridad con el poder y el respeto con el miedo, lo que lleva a unas relaciones tensas y recelosas entre jefes y subordinados, y a un triste resultado: cuando un equipo trabaja para contentar al jefe, ¿quién se ocupa realmente del trabajo?

En esta nueva edición de La Paradoja, el autor nos acompa - a un prólogo en donde relata la experiencia que le ha traído eléxito de este libro y de su continuación: Las claves de la paradoja, y sintetiza las nuevas ense?anzas que ha permitido que en todo el mundo se hayan aplicado conéxitos sus principios de liderazgo.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Opiniones de los miembros:

Material de Inducción

Pues nos ha causado tan buena impresión y ayuda que hemos decidido regalar el libro a todos y cada uno de nuestros asociados. El libro se les regala en la sesión de inducción, y posteriormente hacemos una "jornada de liderazgo", donde retomamos conceptos principales y, sobre todo, les reforzamos que el buen líder es aquel que se anticipa a las necesidades de sus seguidores. Entre otros materiales, complementamos la sesión con el "Mensaje a García", que creo debieran incluirlo en las ediciones posteriores del libro, es un deleite leerlo una y otra vez.

Four Stars

Good book about leadership. It's not a real story, maybe a book based in facts could be more credible.

Five Stars

Ok

Five Stars

ONE the best

La paradoja

La paradoja me ha parecido un libro DISTINTO de managenement.

Al final, "la paradoja" es que no se puede ser un buen "líder" sin ser una "buena persona". La atención sincera por los demás es lo que distingue al buen lider

Publisher's Summary:

High-Impact Interview Questions shows you how to use competency-based behavioral interviewing methods that will uncover truly relevant and useful information. By having applicants describe specific situations from their own experience during previous jobs (rather than asking them hypothetical questions about "what would you do..."), you'll be able to identify specific strengths and weaknesses that will tell you if you've found the right person for the job. But developing such behavior-based questions can be time-consuming and difficult.

High-Impact Interview Questions saves you both time and effort. The book contains 701 questions you'll be able to use or adapt for your own needs, matched to 62 in-demand skills such as customer focus, motivation, initiative, adaptability, teamwork, and more. It allows you to move immediately to the particular skills you want to measure, and quickly find just the right tough but necessary questions to ask during an interview.

Asking behavior-based questions is by far the best way to discover crucial details about job candidates. High-Impact Interview Questions gives you the tools and guidance you need to gather this important information before you hire.

Members Reviews:

Book Good, Seller Bad, Missing pages

Many pages were missing in my copy, just torn out of the book. Especially in subjects I was interested in. Poor seller, Good book from what I could tell. Just wish they would have said it was missing pages.

High Impact

This is recommended to prep you for your interview. They are very high impact questions and answers, I would recommend for interview prepping.

Very Helpful

Great questions to use as is, or to modify to meet your needs. Also really helpful is the list of follow up questions.

solid

this is a decent overview of a very solid approach to interviewing. i am a big fan of pursuing a line of questioning into its details. i think this is a helpful tool for anyone involved in hiring.

Behavioral Interview - Practical Guide on how to do it in this book

I usually often fall in some all traditional interview questions, taht came up sometime might not even relevant with topic we need to know from a candidate.

Behavioral interview questions had been introduced quite some years ago, but without asking the precisely correct question, sometimes candidate fall on answering worngly, causing me captured wrong preception of that person, which cost on recruitment process.

Author had make me much more easy on how to ask precise Behavioral based question, and some thecning of probing to help us the dig deeper of candidate answer, and found it very useful to understand one person during the interview process.
