Audubon Birds in the Garden Wall Calendar 2018 Workman Publishing Books Reviews

• The calendar was beautiful. What I didn’t like - was how used about 11 feet of rolled brown paper...and a box big enough to fit a small child -to pack one small ultra thin calendar ..... all the individual sellers I’ve ever used go to great lengths to use sparse, earth friendly packaging...
• Love Birds, Love Gardens, and that makes these ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, PERFECT.
• Every year my mother buys the Audubon calendar for my husband. Previous years it came in a plastic box/stand with high quality daily cards (one front and one back) but this year it is the standard one-page a day desk calendar and the picture quality - many photoshopped - is not as good as previous years
• Just a wonderful calendar, I always love when a new month comes so I can see the new bird! There are little facts about birds and tips on how to maintain a bird garden.
• Beautiful calendar at a great price.
• Nice calendar, I just would've liked it better if the days had bigger boxes only because I like to write notes on the calendar.
• Nice calendar to look at.
• Beautiful, but does not have the next month listed for reference (small) on the current calendar.

This Is Me Letting You Go Audible Audio Edition Heidi Priebe Devon Sorvari Tantor Audio Books Reviews

• This is an excellent book for anyone who needs to let go of someone they love but really don't want to. It lets you look at the reality of your situation, as difficult as that might be, and understand that it is time for you to move forward, both for you and the other person. Life changes things change and we shouldn't fight against this. I've never cried so hard as when I was reading this book, because it's difficult to accept that this love is coming to an end, despite anything anyone may do. I still don't know how I'm going to do this, letting go of my partner of 25 years, untangling them from my life to move on without them. But I know I must try-somehow, someway if ever I am to have peace within myself. I will read this book probably 100 times to keep strength to let go. I've never been more sad and relived to hear the words in this book.
• I read this book in only a few hours and it made me feel that I was pouring my own heart out on the pages. This is such an amazing book that covers every topic of life in a way you can relate to. This is for both men and women, with the exception of one chapter. MUST READ!!!!
• I liked the concept of the book,the way the author structured her points. However,I guess I was looking for more from the book based on the title. The book was more of a conversation that we should have with ourselves when we want to "let go" and a little bit of how to let go, and I wished the author included a little more " how to". Overall it was a good read and in would recommend it to anyone finding it hard to Let Go
• After going through a breakup from a toxic relationship, this book is really helpful. Whenever I felt down I read a chapter or 2... or 3 lol. I honestly was not expecting it to be that helpful, but it is. Even if you are not going through a breakup and simply just can't get over someone, or need help learning to love you or someone else.
• Good book, love the read. Grammatical errors are rife in this book which are distracting and sometimes take a second to work through what was supposed to be written. Who edited this book? Needs another revision. Besides that, loved it and would recommend
• Priceless. Exquisitely written in a clean, beautiful style, Heidi's words put the aching in my heart into language I could wrap my head around. I loved and cared for my life partner for two years through his bladder cancer only to have his daughter force us apart and keep me from seeing him the last two months of his life. This writer's words helped deep healing take root where utter dejection and rage had been. The best book on the subject I've ever encountered.
• I honestly didn’t think much about this book when I got it. I became single March 2017 from a 3 year relationship due to him cheating. It sucked, it hurt, and even to this day I’m still healing. But this book really helps you break down all your emotions. It doesn’t sugar coat it like “it’ll get better”, it acknowledges that this hard time is going to suck and it goes through the steps of letting go. Definitely worth buying this book, and I will be recommending to friends.
• I cannot lie, I have read this twice. Each time I read it I cry. My break up is fresh and I want so badly to fix things but each time I read this I know I have to live for me. It hurts badly but there will be brighter days after the pain.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team A Leadership Fable Patrick Lencioni 0352713295663 Books Reviews

• Lencioni effectively delivers his leadership principles by packaging them into an engaging parable. I found myself nodding along as he revealed how his first four dysfunctions can manifest themselves. For this, he gets four stars.
  
  However, his fifth, and ultimate, principle - focusing on results - includes the “package deal” that associates individual goals with team failure. Or, put another way, he believes that an individual who is focused on her own goals will sacrifice the team for her own success. So, Lencioni says the individual must therefore sacrifice her personal goals for the team’s. By assuming this false dichotomy of sacrificing others to you or you to others, Lencioni misses a third approach that rejects sacrifice altogether an approach that treats people as traders - voluntarily exchanging values to mutual benefit.
  
  For example, take his protagonist, Kathryn. She is hired to reform the leadership team and is well-compensated to do so. The company believes her leadership is good for the business. She accepts the position because she believes the job is good for her. She aligns her interests with the company’s. Both benefit. Neither subjugates nor sacrifices one side for the other. Yet, this stands in direct contrast to his own definition of his fifth dysfunction.
  
  Even with this (all-too-common) transgression, the rest of the book has more than enough value to overcome its shortcomings. Ultimately, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about leadership.
• Lencioni shares simple truths about teams that should be more intuitively obvious to everyone. Yet, these things are very easy to grasp while being very difficult to actually practice ... without practice. This book focuses on what prevents a good team from forming and describe's what's needed. His companion book focuses on the implementation of these ideas but does not stand alone. If you only get one, get this one.
  
  The biggest problem I see is that both books are framed about C-level and top level executive teams. Very few mid-managers would have the leverage and ability to implement all of these principles at lower levels of the organization. It's definitely possible in some cases, but it would significantly more challenging. His principles are universally true, but his coaching is directed at executives.
• I really enjoy this material, however, in my opinion, it's incomplete. It does an adequate job of explaining the 5 Dysfunctions, but unless you have some knowledge of many other tools and techniques, it does not offer any real methods for implementing the ideas. It's like they wrote this to introduce people to the Dysfunctions and expect them to go to the training to find out how to fix them. As a consultant and trainer, I have to supplement these concepts extensively to make them usable for clients. A good example is the first Dysfunction (Trust). While the book explains its importance and some basic ideas to increase trust, if you don't use an instrument such as the DISC, MBTI, SDI, or similar tool, you can't just improve trust. Different types of people have completely different issues in relation to overcoming trust issues.
• This is standard reading for identifying dysfunction among team members. It's well written, very realistic, I think I've met each of the characters during the past 30 years of my career - and if the reader is open minded, they might learn more about themselves as a team member than anything else. It's eye opening insight if you work as part of a team, whether designated as a team or simply as a group that functions as a team. Simply reading the book will not solve the problems of a dysfunctional team, but will help expose a variety of behaviors embedded in humans that therefore exist in the dysfunctional teams to which they belong.
• Abstract
  
  Patrick Lencioni, in his book, Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team A Field Guide for Leaders, Managers, and Facilitators, gives a detailed easy to follow plan on how to overcome the dysfunctions that many teams face. Lencioni says that teamwork is what is often missing from teams that are successful and then goes on to identify the five dysfunctions that many teams face. The five dysfunctions are the absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and finally inattention to results. These five dysfunctions lay the foundation for his book as he explores each dysfunction and gives practical help on how the dysfunctions can be corrected and the team can achieve a healthy status.
  The first dysfunction, absence of trust, is the foundation of a healthy team. Lencioni says, “I’ve come to one inescapable conclusion no quality or characteristic is more important than trust.” For trust to be achieved within a team than leaders and team members must be vulnerable about their weaknesses, fears, and failures. The author goes on to give case studies of teams that lacked trust in their organization and how these teams achieved trust. Lencioni believes that team members need to reveal personal aspects of their lives so that other team members can better understand each other and put their guards down. As with all the five dysfunctions, the book gives great practices that can help teams accomplish trust.
  The second issue that teams must deal with is mastering conflict. It is important to know that mastering conflict can only be accomplished after trust is established. Conflict, as described by Lencioni, as “productive, ideological conflict passionate, unfiltered debate around issues of importance to the team.” Conflict can be difficult for some but “if team members are never pushing one another outside of their emotional comfort zones during discussions, then it is extremely likely that they’re not making the best decisions for the organization.” If a team is going to overcome this dysfunction than the leader of the team at times needs to mine for conflict.
  The third dysfunction is the lack of commitment. To achieve commitment there most be clarity in what the team is trying to accomplish; this does not mean that everyone on the team must agree but rather be committed to the decisions made, even when they do not agree. Team members are committed because they believe in the bigger purpose or mission of the organization rather than every decision that is being made.
  Avoidance of accountability is the fourth dysfunction that teams face. In order to overcome this dysfunction team members must embrace accountability, defined as “the willingness of team members to remind one another when they are not living up to the performance standards of the group.” This means that team members are willing to have difficult conversations with other team members that are not pulling their weight for the good of the organization.
  Focusing on results is how the final dysfunction is overcome. Teams need to be results-oriented and have a clear measurement of success. When teams understand what success looks like they can avoid distractions, such as ego, career development, and money. Lencioni suggest a visual scoreboard so employees will focus on the right tasks.
  The third and fourth sections of the book give practical help to better flesh out how teams can achieve a healthy status. Section three answers common questions that many teams have after reading the book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. The fourth section of the book gives very detailed tools and exercises for a team to use to overcome each dysfunction.
  
  Concrete Response
  
  As Lencioni began to unpack the importance of building trust among team members I was reminded about a time in the life of our staff where there was vulnerability which increased the level of trust. Lencioni said, “when team members reveal aspects of their personal lives to their peers, they learn to get comfortable being open with them about other things. They begin to let down their guard about their strengths, weaknesses, opinions, and ideas.” Over the past year at least once a month we have been “huddling” our staff. During a huddle, we don’t talk about the business of our church, but rather we share about what God is teaching us and how we are personally doing as leaders. These huddles started out very slow, and there was never anything that was shared that was deep or vulnerable. Weeks and even months went by of surface level sharing; we did not have a foundation of trust. It all changed when one of the quieter members of our teams spoke up and started sharing about the difficulties he and his wife were having with one of their children. Fred, the quiet staff member, was struggling with his youngest son being diagnosed with a severe case of autism. Fred, a very smart individual, shared about his inadequacies as a father and how he just felt hopeless, not knowing what to do. As Fred tearfully shared everyone’s heart in the groups went out to him and there was a time of encouragement and prayer for Fred. This transparency moved our group to a deeper level and more people began sharing intimate details of their lives. While Fred’s intentions were not to increase the level of trust within the group that is exactly what he did. Fred unknowingly helped our team move one step closer to being a healthy group.
  
  Reflection
  
  In reading through Lencioni's book, I thought that he did an excellent job achieving his goal of summarizing the five dysfunctions of a team and then giving practical advice on how leaders can help their teams overcome these dysfunctions. It is obvious that Lencioni has incredible knowledge and experience working with teams and it showed in this book. I not only enjoyed the concepts listed in this book but I also enjoyed the writing style of Lencioni and his attention to detail and practical information.
  While I found the book simplistic and easy to follow, I noticed that the book lacked concrete data or studies that help strengthen the author's argument. While I understand the five dysfunctions that Lencioni lists, he doesn't give any empirical evidence to show that these dysfunctions are the main culprits for an unhealthy team. The argument in this book could have been strengthened if the author would have done more research, polls, and studies and not make conclusions only based on his personal experience.
  I am also under the assumption that Lencioni's expertise is working with corporate America. In many of the examples and case studies, he shares about CEO's and other high-level executives. While I appreciate his willingness to work with these top executives, I would have appreciated more examples within the non-profit world. I have a small staff team that I lead but a majority of my time is spent working with volunteer teams. It would be helpful to see some practical example of how to overcome the five dysfunctions within a volunteer team.
  
  Action
  
  The first dysfunction, building trust within the team, was the first area where I realized that I needed to take action. In talking about how you can build trust in teams, Lencioni says, “providing team members with common vocabulary for describing their differences and similarities, you make it safe for them to give each other feedback without feeling like they’re making accusatory or unfounded generalizations.” He goes on to recommend completing a profiling test with each team, such as the Myers-Briggs test. About a month ago one of our other team members asked if we could take the Myers-Briggs test as a staff. I didn’t see the need for it, plus I noticed that there would be a substantial cost for all of our team members to take the assessment. After reading through this book, I now realize that this assessment could help our team establish trust and better understand one another. The plan after reading this text is to hire someone who can administer the test to our team and then review the results with everyone; fortunately, we know someone who is trained in this material. I believe that once the team takes the assessment we will better understand each other and it will build trust among our team members. The plan is to have all our staff members complete this assessment by the end of April.
  The second action that I need to implement into my life deals directly with the dysfunction of lack of commitment. While I believe that for the most part our staff is on board with the mission and vision of our church, we don’t do a great job at clearly measuring success. One of the ways Lencioni creates clarification is by creating a visual scoreboard that is a regular reminder of what the team is trying to accomplish. In addition to the visual scoreboard, Lencioni also suggests that you spend the last five minutes of a meeting asking the question “What exactly have we decided here today?” By asking this question, the team is forced to communicate with each other until everyone is one the same page. I plan on using both the visual scoreboard and the commitment clarification exercise with our staff to help everyone be committed to what God has called our church to do. I will attach a large white board on our conference room wall. On the top right-hand corner, we will weekly track our attendance, number of guests, salvations, and baptisms. These numbers will be updated weekly and be a visual reminder of our mission, “to reach people far from God and lead them to become followers of Jesus.” On the same whiteboard after every staff, elders, and volunteer meeting I plan on asking the question, “what exactly have we decided here today?” In addition, to answering this question I would also like to answer the question, “in light of the decisions that were made, what is everyone going to do?” This not only clarifies expectations but also clarifies what everyone is going to do based on the information that was decided in the meeting.

What happens when a forty-something, feminist sociologist who studies gender and sexuality learns that her mother—a charming, passive-aggressive, and needy woman who hasn’t had a lover in decades—has started seeing men who wants to be bound, whipped, and sexually dominated? What happens when that same mother, shortly after diving into her newly discovered sexuality, develops a cancer that forces her to accept radical changes to her body, and then another that forces her, and everyone around her, to confront her mortality?

In Bound, Elizabeth Anne Wood addresses these questions as she chronicles the last eight months of her mother’s life—a period she comes to see, over the course of months, as a maternity leave in reverse she is carrying her mother as she dies. Throughout their journey, Wood uses her notebook as a shield to keep unruly emotions at bay, often taking comfort in her role as advocate and forgetting to “be the daughter,” as one doctor reminds her to do. Meanwhile, her mother’s penchant for denial and her childlike tendency toward magical thinking lead to moments of humor even as Wood battles the red tape of hospital bureaucracies, the frustration of planning in the midst of an unpredictable illness, and the unintentional inhumanity of a health care system that too often fails to see the person behind the medical chart.
