With Courage and Compassion celebrates the contributions of women to nations, societies, churches, and the ecumenical movement. Through creative forms of resistance and daring theological exploration, women have enriched and advanced theological discourse and called for transformations in within human relationships with one another and with the earth. The World Council of Churches (WCC) has, since its inception in 1948, responded to the call of women for recognition of their leadership and theological gifts with efforts at affirmation and inclusion. However, all is not well. Structures and processes that permit many forms of exclusion and even violence against women in societies in the church and the ecumenical movement persist. This book analyses what lies at the heart of the struggle women go through and why the vulnerability of women continues to be exploited. It calls for a new theological vision and political imagination to transform unjust attitudes and systems that still exist, particularly in the ecumenical movement.

"Leading With Courage" offers pragmatic, practical and proven advice for leaders and managers who want to make a bigger impact, sooner. The author's insights are drawn from the interviews he conducted with 40 CEOs and his four decades of experience in five industries as a senior finance and operations executive in the U.S. and Europe. At the core of "Leading With Courage" are nine blind spots that effective leaders and managers are aware of. Those who come in with the answer, stick with under-performers too long, and try doing everything themselves (three of the nine blind spots) could be among the 40% to 50% of leaders who fail, are fired, or quit within 18 months of starting their leadership role. The book includes a link to a self-assessment that will help readers identify which of the nine blind spots they may have to be on alert for.

Detective Sergeant Alicia Friend: perky, insubordinate, utterly brilliant. Since returning from assignment in America, DS Alicia Friend has been grounded at a desk, her new boss unwilling to risk her in the field. But when Alicia's former partner requests her input, the SCA cannot refuse. It only involves interviewing a young terror suspect, after all. What can go wrong? But Alicia backs her partner’s suspicions and links the crime to a seemingly unconnected incident. Then a third attack occurs, and there is no denying it: someone is coordinating these vicious incidents, and the endgame is building. Back in full flow, the sometimes-annoyingly-perky detective summons all her brain power to push the investigation toward a seemingly benign cult, hindered at every turn by the group’s lawyer, by the detective seeking to replace her, and by a hierarchy as interested in politics as they are in catching the killer. With Courage With Fear sees DS Alicia Friend face her most devious serial killer yet – one who may be even smarter than her. ________________________________________ The Alicia Friend Series Each novel is its own self-contained story, but there are background elements that continue through the series. So while it is not 100% necessary to read them in order, it will be more rewarding that way. 1 His First His Second 2 In Black In White 3 With Courage With Fear 4 A Friend in Spirit 5 To Hide To Seek 6 A Flood of Bones

All management starts with self-management – handle fear and become an authentic leader. Often, the problem with management is not theoretical, but practical. Managers know enough about leadership, but a lot of them do not act accordingly. They know what should be done in a given situation but fear the discomfort and uncertainty that comes with it. The fear keeps many managers from stepping up to their responsibility. Therefore, the fear in leadership is playing a decisive role in the life and effectiveness of organizations. Based on research on the theoretical knowledge and the practical behavior of managers, combined with a long-time experience as consultants, the authors argue for the importance of practical judgment and emotional courage in management. This is essential in acting as an authentic leader, who does not feel paralyzed and trapped in paradoxes. Management books typically address the question of "what is good management," whereas this book is concerned with how to practice good management by exercising fearless leadership and emotional courage. It is a practical book that aims at inspiring the reader to act by providing specific tools and methods and will be of value to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of leadership, strategic management, organizational studies and behavior, management development, and industrial and organizational psychology.
