Organizations can accelerate the pace of quality improvements by ensuring that Total Quality efforts are driven from organizational strategy. In the process of doing this, a success paradigm can be created that allows different units of an organization to work more effectively toward a shared purpose. The significant examples presented here are the result of almost a decade of direct research and application in a very diverse set of organizations, including Fortune 500 manufacturing and services firms, non-profit organizations, health care organizations, and public education. The result is a specific process with enough detail for professional managers to read the book and implement the process in their own organizations. CEOs and NPO professionals, as well as business academics and upper level students, should find significant examples in an array of industries and situations that make this reading especially worthwhile. The approach described in this book centers around Critical Success Factors which Rockart introduced in 1979. It is a learning-oriented approach to planning that the authors have implemented in a variety of settings, including Boeing, Air Midwest, and Conway Hospital. The important relationship between management control and strategic planning styles is discussed in several interesting chapters. Another topic that the authors address is the reinventing of government and the feasibility of applying the process in that environment. . Several examples of governments who attempted the task are offered along with discussion of their level of success. The approach described in this book is a powerful tool that can be used to develop a common vision in any organization.

Personal success comes from taking positive action. Yet not everyone is able to take positive action and therefore they fail to meet their potential in life. Why is that? What is it that stops people from being as successful as they could be? I believe I have the answer to these questions and it is all to do with Paradigms. This is because there is a direct correlation between our paradigms and how we act and behave. By changing our paradigms we immediately change the way we think and act. And because we attract to ourselves what we think about, it is essential we think about, dream about and envision our future. Our paradigms attract what is required to achieve our visions and what make us successful. The Paradigm of Success sets out a journey towards success through having a powerful vision energised by action that is synergised by a strong sense of 'why' and 'belief' which are framed by the paradigms. It is a journey of incremental learning that when applied may empower us to make a positive difference in our own lives and in the lives of others.

The New Success Paradigm: "A Personal Leadership Discovery Platform" has been created with the following two groups of people in mind: 1. People who are busy choosing or building their careers, or livelihoods, and who would like to have a dynamic and sustainable paradigm for achieving the successes they desire in their personal and/or professional lives, and 2. People who are interested in further developing themselves, or others, as leaders.The New Success Paradigm will appeal to people who believe in the importance of leadership development, and who choose to develop themselves as leaders through a process of self-discovery, whereby they go inside themselves and discover strengths and talents they never knew they possessed and/or have never fully expressed.The New Success Paradigm is about personal leadership, an essential foundation for leadership excellence. The combination of the book together with the associated workbook, and/or the unique ELS LeaderApp(c) workbook App for the i-Pad, has been designed and built as an integrated self-discovery platform that offers a unique paradigm for success and constant renewal and a practical framework for attaining the unique successes each individual aspires to.The workbook and the ELS LeaderApp(c), respectively, each contain a dynamic, self-assessment platform with 27 dynamic exercises, as well as the powerful ELS Goal System(c), that is a tremendously valuable tool for creating and tracking specific goals that play an important role in driving the successes and changes a person would like to see in his/her life, both personally and /or professionally.The central theme of The New Success Paradigm builds on the fact that each of us has the potential to achieve more than we imagine in our respective lives, and it is through personal leadership that we can attain new heights of achievement.The process of choosing one's career and building a successful career path, or creating a personal livelihood, typically spans several decades of one's life. It has a huge impact on the way one experiences life, as well as on the probability of finding the ultimate satisfaction and fulfilment that one aspires to in life. In choosing a suitable career and building a career path, or creating a personal livelihood, there are a couple of really important things for the reader to consider, which include: (i) Looking for something that one loves doing, and (ii) Hopefully, finding something that will pay for the lifestyle that one aspires to. Something else that is extremely valuable to the reader in parallel to finding a suitable career and building a career path, or a personal livelihood, is to adopt a paradigm for success that helps him/her to achieve the successes, satisfaction and fulfilment that he/she desires in his/her life as a whole.To have a paradigm for success means that you have a model for success that you can apply to your life in a practical way as you move along your success pathway. The level of success a person is likely to achieve in a given period of his/her life is strongly influenced by the paradigm for success, or map of success, that that person holds in his/her mind.The inherent power of a metaphorical river provides the central theme for The New Success Paradigm, which offers the reader a unique paradigm for achieving sustainable successes in life through a process of constant renewal. It is a dynamic paradigm in which the metaphorical river's source, course and delta are linked together in a continuous cycle, through which one continues to achieve new successes in a sustainable way.The New Success Paradigm, together with its companion workbook, and/or the unique ELS LeaderApp(c) workbook App for the i-Pad, offer you something very special at any stage of your life.The New Success Paradigm is a unique and exciting invitation to: "Lead a dynamic life!"

A Practical Framework for Positive Social Change In 1987, Anne Firth Murray had the idea that funding should go to grassroots women's organizations around the globe and that the recipients themselves should decide how to use that money. From that idea, The Global Fund for Women was born. The organization became a major force for good in the world, embodying a new paradigm of philanthropy. In these pages, Murray shares her wisdom, offering guidelines that demonstrate how anyone can turn a clear vision of a better world into reality.
