The move to teams has largely failed, say Harvey Robbins and Michael Finley, mainly because teams themselves are failing to think through the human implications of teaming. The New Why Teams Don't Work is a handbook for team members and team leaders to maintain the highest possible level of team intelligence-the skills, attitudes, and emotional flexibility to get the most out of a team's inherent differences. Describing what teams are really like, not how they ought to be, the book teaches...

At a time in human history when the momentum for meaning and purpose has never been greater and the quest for deeper wisdom appears to have accelerated, the question arises, "How do I get there?" The perennial seeker's path, the inner journey that each one of us is on, serves as the focus for this conversation.

One of the most celebrated concepts in corporate life, teamwork is falling short on its promise. Why Teams Don't Work identifies the obstacles (most of them people-made) that prevent teams from achieving their potential, suggests methods to remove those obstacles, and explains how to take care of the team members.

Understanding cat behavior is crucial for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, it allows us to build a stronger, more meaningful bond with our pets. Cats have a unique way of communicating, both verbally and non-verbally, which can sometimes be puzzling. They have been regarded for centuries as mysterious, solitary, and unpredictable creatures, perhaps because humans have difficulty understanding what they're saying1. We can better understand their needs, emotions, and overall well-being by le...

Too often we feel caught in a maze where we endlessly search for success and happiness and try to avoid fear and anxiety. Guy Finley has discovered a way out of that maze. "Until we redefine the purpose of our being," he says, "we're caught in a race in which we cross a finish line only to hear a starting gun go off again."

Finley shows us how to dissect those moments when we meet that inner wall of resistance that tells us we’re not good enough, will never be happy enough, and don't deserve a life free from struggle. Learn how to say no to that tyrant inside your mind so that you're no longer driven by your will, but guided by the deepest wisdom of your consciousness.

We all get into ruts of the mind. Our mind turns a thought around and around without going any place. We often have regrets and we repress our feelings. Philosopher and teacher, Guy Finley encourages us not to turn away from accepting those things we don't like about ourselves and shares how we may cultivate the courage to wake up, let go, and start over.

Through poignant and evocative language, Teasdale captures the essence of the season's solitude, longing, and the transformative power of nature. Each poem is a shimmering star, illuminating the depths of human emotion and the enduring beauty that lies within the heart of winter.

The role of women in the church is a debate that has raged within the church for much of the twentieth century. On one side are those who say there is no difference between men and women. On the other side are those who severely limit women who want to offer ministry to the church. Judith TenElshof and Robert Saucy take the middle approach. Believing that the modern views have denied the distinctions between men and women, the authors adopt a view called complementarianism. TenElshof and S...

Ethnodrama: An Anthology of Reality Theatre contains seven carefully-selected ethnodramas that best illustrate this emerging genre of arts-based research, a burgeoning but evident trend in the field of theatre production itself.
