The Manager’s Dilemma – How to Empower Your Team’s Problem-Solving by Irial O'Farrell

Managers typically tend to excel at problem-solving so end up with a lot of problems on their desk, waiting to be sorted out, while their team often pass over issues that they should be able to resolve themselves. Unwittingly, a dynamic arises with the manager becoming overloaded.

Based on the author’s own experiences, both as a manager, leadership facilitator and executive coach, this book:
– articulates the dilemma that many managers face
– explores acceptable reasons for issue escalation
– explains how to design an effective problem-solving objective, based on your team members likely starting point
– reflects on common manager mindsets that result in disempowered teams
– provides insights into how best to introduce the new approach

How does less work landing on your desk and an empowered team sound to you? You’ll be freed up, allowing you to focus on more exciting and value-add projects; your team will be better able to deliver their work while also being able to take on additional projects. All of you will benefit from greater exposure and enhanced career opportunities.

About A New World

The author of Communion, the first in-depth exploration of alien contact, returns after 30 years of research and experience with new insight into the enigmatic experience. But is it alien contact, and if is, is it that the whole story? This insightful exploration sheds new light on a controversial and, given all the recent US government revelations about UFO and UAP observations by US Navy pilots, increasingly concerning topic. This may really be happening. Whitley Strieber explores as no other author can what that may mean. The Kindle will be FREE on Amazon Sunday, September 12.

I am a Syrian immigrant.

My name is Morhaf Al Achkar. I was born in Aleppo-Syria in 1983. I migrated to the United States in 2006 after finishing medical school. I also obtained a Ph.D. in Education from Indiana University. Currently, I am a practicing family physician and associate professor at the University of Washington.

In 2016, I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Since then, my research has focused on the experience of patients living with cancers. My first book is based on interviews I did with 39 patients who live, like me, with advanced illness. I explored how these patients find meaning, cope, and build resilience

Writing my memoir was my attempt to reconstruct my narrative. I did not want to be defined as a cancer patient nor as someone living with resilience despite cancer. I wanted to be me again: A Syrian Immigrant.

About Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt: A Captivating Guide to the Age of the Pyramids and the Egyptian Pharaohs Who Ruled by Captivating History

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the greatest building feats ever achieved. At a time when the rest of the world was in the Bronze Age, living in small villages sustained by subsistence farming, the Egyptians built the pyramids.
It is mind-boggling to think they did this when mankind had not yet invented iron or the wheel. They did this when the only tools workmen had were made from either bronze, which had to be constantly re-sharpened, or stone or wood. It’s truly remarkable.
It raises a question: did the people of Egypt really cut great blocks of stone and arrange millions of tons of them into the perfect pyramid shape we all know so well? When you examine the evidence, the answer to that question is obvious.
But many more questions arise from that answer. How did the ancient engineers and designers train? Who first thought up this perfect shape? Did the workers come from slave colonies? How many people are needed to build such a huge structure?

About The Long Pigs

Still awaiting the arrival of his injured wife, Ari Ciminon (The 56th Man) is already on a hair-trigger when a sniper wounds his close friend, insurance investigator Elmore Lawson, a disabled veteran who has been looking into a suspicious injury claim at Osprey Pointe, a gated community outside of Richmond, Virginia. Ari’s search for the would-be assassin begins at Lawson’s house, where he encounters Lawson’s autistic nephew, Freddie, a possible witness to the crime. Both Ari and Detective Yvonne Neumann, Lawson’s lover, are keen to take personal revenge on the shooter. As a result of Freddie’s profound terror at the prospect of sharing a public toilet at a Social Services shelter, the boy is put in Neumann’s care. Unable to watch over him during the day, she places him with Ari part-time. But he has no intention of staying put in his safe house and takes Freddie with him in his hunt for the killer—much to the dismay of Freddie, when he discovers Ari has no qualms about using him as a decoy.

I am an ordinary girl who loves Jesus. I have always loved to draw, and scribble in a journal. I started writing about my passions, my thoughts, and curious wondering as a teenager. In fact, as a young girl, I created a cartoon character named Chuckles. He was a dog who looked a lot like Snoopy from the famous Peanuts cartoon. I have always been a fan.
I believe in my heart that when we nourish on God’s Word we begin to flourish, like the mustard seed shooting out branches for others to find shade. Mark 4:30-34.
I finally decided to be intentional about the gifts God gave me. I decided to publish my work with a mission to encourage children and parents one book at a time.
My roots are in Ohio, born and raised and I currently live there with my family.

About Pandæmonium

Nathan Walker is about to die, and he’s going straight to Hell.

In a basement in New Orleans, there is a witch, her name is Maggie. She sends people to Hell and brings them back again–for a price. When Nathan Walker and his friend Morgan McCallister arrive in the underworld they find that The Bible had it right–angels and demons do exist, and they are a torment to the sinners of the world. They go on an adventure through this place. They see the world demons built: the city of Dis, the rock on the sulfur lake, and the palace of Pandæmonium. They hear the true story of creation–of Genesis, and Revelations. They get caught up in a much larger conflict between Lucifer and Jesus, one that has raged for thirty-thousand years, and one that would see the whole world burn away to nothing.

My name is Oliver Eldridge, I have a black cat that walks under ladders and the number of chapters in my newest book is 13–so beware, this is double trouble. I have no right being here, most likely wasting your time, but since you are here and I have you reading I might as well waste it a little more. I like long walks in the Ocean, the smell of a campfire before it’s been lit, and going to bed with one sock on. Sometimes I burn toast. Occasionally I whistle to get the attention of dogs and sparrows. I have no sense of urgency unless faced with a clown or a karaoke machine–I have not once been faced with both outside of my nightmares. If you’ve read this far you might as well read my book too.

About Kiss & Tell

Her willingness to blackmail me into her bed is shocking.
But I can’t help myself.
I’ve worked my face off to make a name for myself in the architect world, and finally it’s landed me the perfect job—teaching at my local university.
Not a day goes by when a student doesn’t flirt and try their hand at winning my heart, if only for a night.
But I know the rules, and I follow them closely. No way in hell I’m giving up this sweet gig.
My newest student has stolen my attention and has me thinking things I should never think.
And her flirting goes to a new level. She’s defiant, dark, and not afraid of a little blackmail to get what she wants.
The young woman is beyond beautiful and everything I fantasize about, but I have a secret I want to keep hidden.
Unfortunately for me, she knows it and is more than happy to use it to get what she wants most—me.
What started out as a one-time payment turns into a burning need neither of us can ignore.
I just hope this girl is the type that doesn’t kiss and tell.
Otherwise, I’m ruined.

About HeartScars

The scars we bear are not only for our benefit but also for the encouragement and strengthening of others. They are our testimony – a common ground from which to help those who may be in the midst of similar struggles. They are light in their darkness and offer hope in their hopelessness. Wounded hearts can heal provided we don’t remove the protective covering. Forgiveness is this covering. When allowed to complete its work forgiveness reveals a scar meant to be shared instead of a bitter root that will never heal.
The scars we share have the potential to sway a struggling, weary, wandering soul and give them hope. Scars are meant to be shared, not hidden. In these pages, I have shared some of my scars. What I have written is by no means a complete list of my wounds – there are some hurts that I haven’t let go of yet, but that is another story. I am sharing what I am able to with the hope and prayer that it will help someone…maybe you

About Lies Of Our Fathers by Jeff Rostocil

Have you been taught that grace opposes the law or that the New Testament frees Christians from Old Testament commands? Perhaps you’re under the impression that the Torah was nailed to the cross or that the new covenant invalidates the instructions given to Moses.
This book challenges these ideas by taking an in-depth look at some of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted passages of the New Testament commonly thought to abolish the Law of Moses. When placed within their proper historical context, a case can be made for a Torah-honoring lifestyle as a natural expression of faith in Jesus Christ.
Chronicling his own journey, Jeff spotlights 70 truths and tackles your toughest questions about Jesus, Paul, grace and the law.
Did Jesus break the Sabbath and declare all foods clean?
What does it mean to be under the law?
How did Peter interpret his vision of the sheet?
What are Paul’s works of the law?
Is the Torah applicable in the new covenant?
Does grace free us from the Ten Commandments?
An investigation into the perspective, position and practice of the apostolic writers reveals the answers to these questions and surprisingly stumbles upon a Torah-friendly gospel.
Bold, compelling, thought-provoking and easy to read, Lies Of Our Fathers is an eye-opener. This might be the most controversial book you read all year.
After reading this book you may never read the Bible the same again.

have been lied to. Jeremiah prophesied, “Gentiles shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and say, ‘Surely our fathers have inherited lies.'” We have inherited doctrinal lies from our church fathers that have compromised our worship, theology and lifestyle.
This book exposes these lies and calls God’s people to a greater appreciation for the truth found in Scripture – both Old and New. No longer can the lies of our fathers invented by the father of lies misrepresent the love of our Father.
Theological. Practical. Profound. This might be the most controversial book you read all year.
