No one wins at everything they try. But any setback, whether professional or personal, can become a step forward with the right tools and mind-set to turn loss into a gain. Drawing on nearly 50 years of leadership experience, Maxwell provides a roadmap for winning by examining the 11 elements that constitute the "DNA" of people who succeed in the face of problems, failure, and losses. Learning is not easy during down times. It takes discipline to do the right thing when something goes wrong.

The story revolves around Vince Steadfast, the newly named CEO of imaginary manufacturer Verity Glassworks, which has fallen on difficult times. Vince is hired to help the once iconic company return to its glory days, and he brings with him a parting gift from his mentor and former boss: a stunning crystal coffee cup from Verity's halcyon days. The cup turns out to be magic - truly - and helps him come to understand and reinvigorate the values that Verity has misplaced along the way.

Dr. Jason Selk and star business coach Tom Bartow combine the most effective elements of both their disciplines to offer an organizational improvement plan that anyone can learn and apply right away. Organize Tomorrow Today is composed of eight simple, concrete, easy-to-understand guidelines - the multitasking myth, building and breaking habits, the two-minute mental toughness drill, and more. The key to high-level success is to pick one thing to change and master it.

In Organize Your Team Today, Selk and Bartow show how it takes collective mental toughness to win, developed only through a clear understanding of the goals, limitations, roles, and personalities on your team. Great leaders respect and embrace channel capacity, Selk and Bartow explain, which means they don't overload their teams with blizzards of tasks and responsibilities. They bust the "focus" and "relationship" fallacies, as those words are meaningless for teams unless they are byproducts of activities that really matter. 

Many of us hold ourselves back because we firmly believe our abilities are finite. But what if our supposed limitations are just an illusion? In The Power of Your Potential, John Maxwell identifies and examines the 17 key capacities each of us possesses. Some we are born with, such as how we think or how we naturally relate to other people. The rest are choices, often unconscious, including our attitude or personal disciplines. All are expandable.

Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges warfen die Briten gefälschte Lebensmittelmarken über den deutschen Städten ab, um die deutsche Binnenstruktur zu schädigen. Ein Fehler, denn diese Aktion lieferte den Deutschen die Idee für einen weitaus gefährlicheren Gegenschlag. Unter dem Namen "Operation Bernhard" wurde eine der größten Falschgeldproduktionen der Menschheitsgeschichte gestartet. Inspector Chesterton von Scotland Yard fällt nun die Aufgabe zu, ein Verbrechen aufzuklären, das sich zu Kriegszeiten mitten im Feindesland abgespielt hat.

Die Zinnen von Windcliff Castle heulten im Sturm wie die Pfeifen einer riesigen Orgel. Dumpfe, klagende Laute, dazwischen grelles Kreischen und das Grollen eines nahenden Gewitters weckten Noel Allister gegen zwei Uhr morgens. Verschlafen setzte sich der grobschlächtige Mann im Bett auf und griff sich verwirrt an den Kopf. Da hörte er über sich ein Geräusch. Aus ungläubig geweiteten Augen starrte er auf die Hände, die aus dem Nichts kamen. Sie umklammerten eine bluttriefende Spitzhacke. Noel Allister kam nicht mehr dazu, Angst zu verspüren. Weit holten die körperlosen Hände aus.
