The Power and Influence of Emotions in Leadership NOTHING CHANGES in your lifetime unless your MINDSET changes. But your mindset cannot CHANGE without your emotions first leading the change. Emotions come in various shapes and sizes to test you, but many have failed the emotional tests in the classroom of their minds leading to societal disintegration: anxiety and depression, high blood pressure and kidney damage; relationship breakdown (marriage vs. divorce), crime, and wars; terrorism, and as victims of moral decay in leadership and value. MANY HAVE fallen as victims of their personal emotions conceived in the privacy of their bedrooms, resulting in the public display of dysfunctional leadership around the world. Some are found at home as Parents, while some as Managers, and CEOs of institutions. Some are religious leaders serving as Priests, Imams, Pastors, and Bishops hiding in the pulpit of their emotional failures, while the selected minorities are leaders in the corridors of power in government, influencing changes in public policy through their personal emotions. WHY HAVE many fallen as victims? Because they’re deficient in the Number ONE MISSING INGREDIENT of personal leadership - EMOTIONAL RULERSHIP – which if they had the idea that it ever existed, it could have helped them succeed exponentially in life. Emotional Rulership is so powerful that it can sustain you with persistent POWER & INFLUENCE in your area of life. Paradoxically, this concept is never taught in the classroom - either formally or informally. IN EMOTIONAL RULERSHIP: How Emotions, Laws, Principles, and Emotional Intelligence Affect You as a Leader, Dr Emmanuel Eni AMADI walks you through the concept of Emotional Rulership and reveals the Benefits of ANGER as the Catalyst for CHANGE. You will discover the character and benefits of human emotions, the hidden Principles and Laws of Emotional Intelligence, as well as the Strategies for Managing Change in your organization or any life events.

There is no doubt that we all are living with fears of attacks, even death. Fear of evil laws, enemies invasion and unsafe society. Everybody live in fears each day that breaks. The devil knows that the time of our Lord Jesus Christ coming back is fast approaching. Christians need to understand this truth- Christ coming. Christians must activate their new knowledge power in God’s words to enable them prepare adequately for the perilous time and rapture, command the devil to keep off their homes, and everything that bears their name. This book will opens the eyes of everyone who read it – mostly Christians that worship Servants of God because they receive money or magic miracles from these devilish agents of Satan, called “miracles Pastors” These money preachers used the knowledge of God’s words in negative ways to scams and destroy people’s faith in God; even some destroy many homes through spiritual manipulations. Is a book that stirs up your faith in God; reset your mind to think and act like God no matter the situation you find yourself and take on every powers of darkness through aggressive midnight prayers to make you harmless in the midst of powerless powers and midnight rulers in high places. Finally, the book exposed to us the importance of uprightness, holiness and culture and absolute obedient to God’s words to winning all life battles against our accuser – the devil.
The writing of Godly option for relationships was inspired by my continues search of the scriptures. My Bible tells me that grace and peace is multiplied through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord .. 2 Peter 1: 2 and I’m surely in desperate need of the grace of God for ministry. The more I searched the scriptures the more I understood the operations of the kingdom of God. Godly option gave a glimpse of how eternal life operates, how God’s word takes on flesh when it meets with faith in the spirit of the hearer. There are certain truth in God’s word too deep to share with those not matured enough to receive them. Godly option for relationships was able to bring the word in simple terms for easy understanding of deep things. It is worth stating that the challenges faced by most believers are most cases down to lack of depth in the word. At a time when sexual perversion, immorality and divorces are so rampant in the body of Christ, godly option for relationships could be the scriptural guide for those in search of the right option and direction. My mentor Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted in several parts of this text and I thank God for such a great man that God has privileged us to have in the body of Christ at such a time as this.

LET ALL CHRISTIANS BE AWAKE TO FIGHT THE BATTLE OF FAITH OF VICTORY, AND BRING PEACE TO THEIR CHURCHES, NATIONS AND THE WHOLE WORLD. GOD BLESS THE WHOLE WORLD AND PEACE OF GOD SHALL REIGN!!!
This book is a defense of perspectivism in the age of post-truth. At the crossroads of science, art, and philosophy, it unearths a tradition that we must rediscover: the point of view is not only what divides, it is also what is shared. Today, perspective is associated with individualism and personal viewpoints. But in an age of post-truth, the only robust answer to relativism lies in fact in a reappraisal of perspectivism. In discussion with contemporary new realisms of various sorts, this book makes a case why perspectivism alone can avoid us falling back into epistemological naivetés. A journey into the history of optics, art, philosophy, and social psychology, this book unearths the forgotten tradition of perspectiva communis, which makes perspective the vector of a common horizon. This book argues that vision is never immediate. Rather, to see through is the key to understanding the perspectival operation. We never see by ourselves—all seeing must pass through something other than itself, through the mediation and the detour of an apparatus or the witness of a third party. Besides the theoretical framework for this new approach to perspective, this book presents a series of case studies ranging from innovative interpretations of classical authors and key moments in the history of art—from ancient painting, trompe l’oeil, and Brunelleschi’s experiment in Renaissance Florence—to the issue of perspective in the work of contemporary artists such as Robert Smithson. The Share of Perspective will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in aesthetics, phenomenology, art history, and the history of sciences.

In today's fast-paced world, leaders must do more than just adapt; they need to anticipate the radical shifts happening all around them. Too often, the focus on immediate challenges blinds them to the sweeping changes reshaping their environment. True success demands agility, a keen awareness of evolving stakeholder expectations, and a bold cultural transformation. In this fully updated edition of The Connected Leader Emmanuel Gobillot makes a compelling argument: traditional leadership models are relics of the past. He builds the case for a new kind of leadership that leverages informal social networks to reconnect with what stakeholders truly value. Packed with original international case studies and unique diagnostic tools, The Connected Leader is a treasure trove of insights. Gobillot’s global bestseller is essential reading for professionals aiming to harness the combined power of people and performance to create thriving organisations and drive meaningful change.
At the turn of the twenty-first century, manipulation of the democratic process coupled with preexisting political and economic grievances led to years-long civil wars in Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Côte d'Ivoire. During and after these conflicts, international peacekeeping efforts and humanitarian intervention became the dominant paths for restoring stability by rebuilding the state. Using these three countries as case studies, this manuscript sheds light on internationally driven state building in war-torn West African nations, the problematic nature of the postcolonial state, and the difficulties of securing its people's wellbeing. Connecting peace and conflict, democracy, and international development studies, Bah and Emmanuel argue that there is a clear nexus between the concepts and practices of peace building and statebuilding; that peace building and statebuilding are not domestic matters alone but also matters of global intervention; and that civil wars can be viewed as opportunities for state building through creative postwar partnerships and organization. This study goes beyond the familiar concepts of failed states, R2P, peacekeeping, and peace mediation and introduces and enhances the concepts of state decay, new humanitarianism, people-centered liberalism, and institutional design. In doing so, it provides critical lessons that local and international actors can draw on as they try to figure out practical solutions to the political, economic, and social problems that impede the development of peaceful and democratic multiethnic postcolonial states in Africa and beyond. Applying comparative-historical methods and theory to archival materials and expert interviews, International Statebuilding in West Africa seeks to shift the discourse on civil wars from their causes and implications to the opportunities they provide to rework failed states—and to shift the discourse on African states from their colonial and neocolonial legacies to their shared moral and security interests with the rest of the world.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall less than four weeks apart in 2005. Months later, much of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast remained in tatters. As the region faded from national headlines, its residents faced a dire future. Emmanuel David chronicles how one activist group confronted the crisis. Founded by a few elite white women in New Orleans, Women of the Storm quickly formed a broad coalition that sought to represent Louisiana's diverse population. From its early lobbying of Congress through its response to the 2010 BP oil spill, David shows how members' actions were shaped by gender, race, class, and geography. Drawing on in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, and archival research, David tells a compelling story of collective action and personal transformation that expands our understanding of the aftermath of an historic American catastrophe.
The history of mankind has been dominated by wars, violence, restiveness, hunger, political and economic revolution, which are seemingly engineered by gross quest for political power, economic gain, territorial boundary, negative national pride, selfishness, greed, unwarranted man inhumanity to and cultural dominance. It is obvious from all indications that the driving force behind these wars are either quest for peace, social justice, political emancipation, etc. Regrettably, instead of peace, these wars have rather brought about hatred, fear, mutual suspicion, and perpetual agitation of the unknown. Consequently, even those who claim to be pursuing the courses of peace through war have found themselves in a more confused state because they live in fear of the vanquished that could turn against them any day. Those who have been conquered also live in fear as the victor becomes arrogant and inconsiderate. Realizing that the world is in dire need of peace, the general assembly of the United Nation Organisation (UNO) resolved on September 7, 2001, to observe September 21 as the International Peace Day. The assembly deemed it necessary, for the sake of peace, to observe that day as a day of ceasefire and non-violence. This was a way of bringing to public awareness the necessity of peace. The desire for peace was evident in that a number of agencies were founded by UNO to promote and foster peaceful coexistence among nations. But the question that still remains unanswered is, what are the achievements of these agencies over the years? It is obvious that warring nations even keep killing themselves on the eve of the International Peace Day. What a tragedy! Fr. Edeh observes that peace can be enthroned if and only if the dignity and essence of man is cared for, loved, and respected. For him, the dignity and essence of man stem from the fact that man is created by God who is good in se. Hence, man is good, that is, Mmadi. To fully realize the ontological goodness of man, Edeh insists that African philosophy should not be thought of in terms of theoretical and rational speculation but a lived philosophy of African culture, language, and religious background, which must be expressed in practical terms. Thus, the primary aim of this mission of practical and effective charity is to bring peace to the world by bringing peace to the heart of individuals who are abjectly poor, sick, marginalized, unemployed, and uneducated irrespective of race, colour, creed, social status, religion, or physical condition. This book therefore contains Fr. Edehs understanding of man as a dignified being because of his participation in the being of his creator (God).This concept of man stems from the African philosophy, which is as practical as it is theoretical. Consequently, pursuing peace, according to Edeh, has to go beyond just holding of conferences and presenting long speeches. He maintains that stakeholders in this all-important venture must put down certain concrete realities that will better the fate of man. His role model here is worth imitating if only world peace is to be truly realized.

Daddy and Mummy are the first teachers, mentors, and examples available for children to take after. As a result, children are naturally tempted to become addicted to whatever they see their parents do in their childhood and formative years. However, because all humans have their inevitable and inalienable weaknesses, it is punitive for children to imbibe the curious characters and conduct of parents because it would affect the children and, in turn, their own children, as well as the society in general. It is profitable to identify and adopt the commendable character and conduct of parents, as well as abhor and avoid the curious character and conduct of parents.
Independent Africa explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sâekou Tourâe of Guinea, Lâeopold Sâedar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economics and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders, and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking"--
