Do you have anyone in your life who can't seem to stick with a project, meet a deadline, or even clean up after themselves? All of us feel we deserve special treatment sometimes. Some people live with this entitled attitude, such as:Professionals who wander from job to job looking for a boss who will see them as amazing as they consider themselves to be--whether they're productive or notYoung adults who refuse to grow up and so go nowhereSpouses or dates who believe, "I'm special, and I deserve more than you're giving me"Leaders who expect special treatment because of their position, not because of their characterIf you have a difficult relationship with an entitled person, or if you have discovered entitlement in yourself, understand this: It doesn't have to stay this way. There is a cure. It's called the Hard Way and it works. In The Entitlement Cure, Dr. John Townsend explains that the Hard Way is a habit that focuses on doing whatever is needed even if it is difficult, uncomfortable, takes longer, and requires more energy. Dr. Townsend offers daily steps, such as risk-taking, to help you or those you love choose the Hard Way. Ultimately, entitlement fails us. We don't develop the character abilities and relationships necessary to reach success and become the people God intended us to be. By contrast, Hard Way people have better relationships, reach their goals, have a clear job direction, enjoy rich spiritual growth, and are equipped to face and solve challenges. As Dr. Townsend writes, "Stand against entitlement in every form in which it manifests itself. Resolve your own tendencies toward the disease. Be a loving and firm force for helping those in its trap to find life and hope. And you will make the world a better place." Discover why the Hard Way is the best way in this practical guide to true success.

Quienes somos interiormente puede determinar el xito de liderazgo m s que lo hacemos o lo que sabemos. En este libro el doctor Townsend explora el papel clave que juega el mundo interno del l der, sus emociones, su intuici n, su creatividad, sus valores, su autoconciencia, su vida espiritual, y c mo estos se traducen en el xito de una organizaci n. Revelando v nculos entre el xito o fracaso personal y organizacional, y el contenido del coraz n del l der, el autor muestra que los l deres sobresalen no s lo a trav s de la habilidad e inteligencia, sino tambi n al conectar con otros a trav s de las competencias, como curiosidad, atenci n, evaluaci n de la realidad, detecci n de distorsi n, construcci n de relaciones, responsabilidad, y vivir con ambig edad. Un libro de liderazgo que solo un psic logo mundialmente reconocido podr a haber escrito. Who we are on the inside can determine leadership success more than what we do or what we know. In Leading with Your Gut, Dr. Townsend explores the critical role of the leader's internal world, the world of passion, emotions, intuition, creativity, values, self-awareness, conscience, and spiritual life. Unveiling links between personal and organizational success or failure and the contents of a leader's "heart," the author shows that leaders excel not just through skill and smarts but by connecting with others using competencies, like curiosity, attention, reality assessment, distortion detecting, relationship building, ownership, and living with ambiguity. A leadership book only a world-respected psychologist could have written, Leading with Your Gut is revolutionary in its insight.

Leading from Your Gut will help emerging and experienced leaders alike to hone their intuition and become the leader they were meant to be. As a leader, your decisions are critical. They have a significant effect on you and everyone around you. But the effective leader needs to have more than just logic, facts, and financials to help make the best choices. Leaders also must access their own intuition, that gut feeling inside. In Leading from Your Gut, you'll learn how leaders excel not just through external competencies and skills but by drawing on their internal world and personal experience. You'll explore how to harness the power of your values, thoughts, emotions, and relationships to better meet the complex demands of leadership. As you apply Townsend's principles, you will see great results in your leadership. But more importantly, you'll experience the kind of personal transformation that will enable you to lead as a whole person. This book is the revised edition of Leadership Beyond Reason.
