    Paperback. Condition: Good. Every Christian should have at least one or more of this paperback missionary - a witness for Christ when the Rapture occurs in End Times. It is to be left behind as an encouragement for the millions who were not saved and will face the Tribulation. It is the Gospel, compelling, exacting and totally Biblical. It is a witness that appeals to the reader both intellectually and emotionally, showing them step by step what they are up against and how to save themselves and their loved ones. There is a place for your name and your personal message to them on the very first page. It is encouragement and the strength of the Gospel that will show them the only way to gain eternal life is to lose the one they have now and not take the markof the beast when the first three and one-half years of the final prophecy of God's Judgment upon the earth takes place. The book has been theologically edited by a Calvary Chapel Senior Pastor and written by a Christian Author, a Calvary Chapel Bible Institute graduate, Chaplain and Counselor. You can use it right now to present to the unsaved so they may see what the future holds when God fulfills the prophecy of His judgment on the earth. This is the gift you will leave for mankind, the book you will read and leave behind after you have dedicated it. Have several on hand and leave one at your place of residence and on the job. It may also be used as a witness right now, for those who are not saved. This book is a must-have. Ask your church or Bible Study group to look it over and then order them for your church, and utilize it as a written witness within your community as an outreach. The Gospel and the Book of Revelation in a simple presentation towards only one result -the reader to seek the salvation of Jesus Christ so they may join the saints of the world forever when Christ and His saints return to establish the new heaven and earth. …

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. We live, says Ed Schein, in a culture of Tell. Rather than trying to genuinely relate to other people we tell them what we think they need to know or should do based on assumptions we've made about them. But telling makes people feel inferior - it shuts them down. This is particularly true of interactions between superiors and subordinates, and that's where it's particularly problematic. In today's complex, interconnected, rapidly changing world hierarchy means nothing - anybody anywhere could have that vital fact or insight that could mean the difference between success or disaster. A free flow of information is crucial. Humble Inquiry builds the kinds of positive, trusting, balanced relationships that encourage honest and open interactions in both our professional and personal lives. Schein defines Humble Inquiry as ''the fine art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building a relationship based on curiosity and interest in the other person.'' In this seminal work he explores the concept of humility, looks at how Humble Inquiry differs from other kinds of inquiry, offers examples of Humble Inquiry in action in many different settings, and shows how to overcome the cultural, organizational and psychological barriers that keep us from practicing it. This is a major new contribution to how we see human dynamics and relationships, presented in a compact, personal, eminently practical way. …

    Paperback. Condition: Fair. This worldwide bestseller offers simple guidance for building the kind of open and trusting relationships vital for tackling global systemic challenges and developing adaptive, innovative organizations--over 200,000 copies sold and translated into seventeen languages We live, say Edgar and Peter Schein, in a culture of tell. All too often we tell others what we think they need to know or should do. But whether we are leading or following, what matters most is we get to the truth. We have to develop a commitment to sharing vital facts and identifying faulty assumptions--it can mean the difference between success and failure. This is why we need Humble Inquiry more than ever. The Scheins define Humble Inquiry as the gentle art of drawing someone out, of asking questions to which you do not know the answer, of building relationships based on curiosity and interest in the other person. It was inspired by Edgar's twenty years of work in high-hazard industries and the health-care system, where honest communication can literally mean the difference between life and death. In this new edition the authors look at how Humble Inquiry differs from other kinds of inquiry, offer examples of it in action, and show how to overcome the barriers that keep us telling when we should be asking. This edition offers a deepening and broadening of this concept, seeing it as not just a way of posing questions but an entire attitude that includes better listening, better responding to what others are trying to tell us, and better revealing of ourselves. Packed with case examples and a full chapter of exercises and simulations, this is a major contribution to how we see human conversational dynamics and relationships, presented in a compact, personal, and eminently practical way.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this third edition of his classic book, Edgar Schein shows how to transform the abstract concept of culture into a practical tool that managers and students can use to understand the dynamics of organizations and change. Organizational pioneer Schein updates his influential understanding of culture----what it is, how it is created, how it evolves, and how it can be changed. Focusing on today's business realities, Schein draws on a wide range of contemporary research to redefine culture, offers new information on the topic of occupational cultures, and demonstrates the crucial role leaders play in successfully applying the principles of culture to achieve organizational goals. He also tackles the complex question of how an existing culture can be changed----one of the toughest challenges of leadership. The result is a vital resource for understanding and practicing organizational effectiveness.…

    Paperback. Condition: Very Good. AStrategy+BusinessBest Leadership Book of the Year: An "uncommonly wise" analysis of the psychological and social dynamics of helping relationships (Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader). Helping is a fundamental human activity, but it can also be a frustrating one. All too often, to our bewilderment, our sincere offers of help are resented, resisted, or refused-and we often react the same way when people try to help us. Why is it so difficult to provide or accept help? How can we make the whole process easier? Many words are used for helping: assisting, aiding, advising, caregiving, coaching, consulting, counseling, guiding, mentoring, supporting, teaching, and more. In this seminal book on the topic, corporate culture and organizational development guru Ed Schein analyzes the social and psychological dynamics common to all types of helping relationships, explains why help is often not helpful, and shows what any would-be helpers must do to ensure that their assistance is both welcomed and genuinely useful. He shows how to navigate the delicate acts of asking for or offering help; avoid pitfalls; mitigate power imbalances; and establish a solid foundation of trust-and how these techniques can be applied to teamwork and organizational leadership. From the bestselling author of Organizational Culture and Leadership, and illustrated with examples from many types of relationships-husbands and wives, doctors and patients, consultants and clients-Helping is a concise, definitive analysis of what it takes to establish successful, mutually satisfying helping relationships.…
