Bøker av James Kerr

Champions do extra. They sweep the sheds. They follow the spearhead. They keep a blue head. They are good ancestors. In Legacy, best-selling author James Kerr goes deep into the heart of the world's most successful sporting team, the legendary All Blacks of New Zealand, to reveal 15 powerful and practical lessons for leadership and business. Legacy is a unique, inspiring handbook for leaders in all fields, and asks: What are the secrets of success - sustained success? How do you achieve world-class standards, day after day, week after week, year after year? How do you handle pressure? How do you train to win at the highest level? What do you leave behind you after you're gone? What will be your legacy?

The culmination of 30 years of management consulting and leadership coaching, this collection of tried-and-true tips will make you a better leader when you work to make them yours. Unlike other leadership coaching books, this is not a guide to help coaches improve their skills, but to help leaders to improve by folding coaching techniques into their leadership approach. It covers a wide variety of topics, from mindset to culture to change management, and each tip comes with a suggested action for executive, mid-level, and supervisory leaders, ensuring this book's value regardless of your current leadership role within your organization. Each of the 101 tips is also accompanied by its "why," Guru Guidance that outlines implications, and an Idea Crosswalk section that shows how each tip corresponds to other parts of the book to facilitate innovative thinking about how it can be best put to use. Enabling good leaders to become exceptional ones by incorporating coaching skills into their leadership practices, this clear and practical reference guide will become a go-to resource for current and future business leaders, coaches, and mentors, as well as executive education providers.

At 11.56 on 25 April 2015, an earthquake triggered an avalanche that took out Everest Base Camp; twenty-two people perished on the worst day in the mountain's history. In Nepal, 9,000 people died and 22,000 were critically injured. Three million required humanitarian assistance. Nepal's infrastructure and economy collapsed. Two years after the disaster, Nepal struggles to recover. Meanwhile, the Gurkhas, who were central to the events of 2015, are back on the mountain and once more aiming for the top. Will they summit? Will disaster strike again? Where the Earth Meets the Sky is the epic, elemental account of a seismic event - the days leading up to it, the moment it hits and its impact on those it envelops. An unsparing but inspiring chronicle, it shows what it takes to survive a hostile environment, to adapt and overcome. It transports us to the roof of the world, a place where more than sixty bodies lie where they fell; where the mountaineering ghosts of Irvine and Mallory still walk, and the legend of Sir Edmund Hillary lives on.
