Titel: Work is Love Made Visible Auteur: Frances Hesselbein ISBN: 9781119513582 Conditie: AsNew Today’s world seems more divided than ever. How can we as a global society work together toward a bright future for all, despite our differences? Work is Love Made Visible offers original essays that are filled with insights from some of the world’s greatest thought leaders (and leaders of the future). These extraordinary leaders explore some of life’s most difficult questions. How do we recognize our purpose and how do we contribute this gift to society? The idea for this book was born when Frances Hesselbein asked the provocative question “What is it you see when you look out the window that is visible but not yet seen by others?” In this remarkable collection, the leaders reveal what they see that is invisible to us and how their unique vision shapes their lives, their decisions, and their contributions. The essays examine the fundamental question about finding our true purpose that is firmly grounded in Frances Hesselbein’s leadership philosophy. In their writings, the contributors address the character of great leaders, the responsibility of service, defining moments that shaped their lives, sharing a positive vision of the future, and finding solutions to today’s challenges. As individuals, finding our purpose, understanding our calling, grappling with and committing to what we inherently know that others do not and to serving that purpose, can be the challenge of our lives. It can also be the opportunity of our lives. Work Is Love Made Visible looks to those who understand their purpose and who have made it their life’s work, to role model for us what it is to live a life that has meaning. Work Is Love Made Visible teaches us how to ask Frances’s question of ourselves and thus discover our purpose, passion, and calling and helps to illuminate the inherent gifts that each of us has so that we may contribute our talents to the advancement and healthy functioning of our global society. Channel happiness and find your purpose with stories from the world’s leading minds Work is Love Made Visible offers the insights of some of the world’s greatest thought leaders as they tackle one of life’s most difficult treasure hunts: finding purpose. The word “purpose” is big. Very big. And heavy. It carries the weight of a lifetime of work and struggle; the weight of legacy, and the mass of days spent not doing something else. It’s something we all grapple with at some point—some of us find our purpose, others spend a lifetime searching. A lucky few grow to realize they’ve been working their purpose all along. Most of us aren’t quite that lucky; often, fulfilling your purpose requires some kind of change—career, lifestyle, habits, family—and what then? Are we selfish for the upheaval, or are we fulfilling destiny? Once we know our purpose, how do we pursue it? This book asked those very questions of people who have followed their purpose and succeeded on a global scale. Their un-distilled answers are here, lending you the wisdom of their experiences, their examples, inspiration, and motivations as they:
Tackle the universal struggle with individual purpose and meaning
Illustrate how personal thought patterns contribute to real-world action
Move challenges into the opportunities of their lives
Reveal how they arrived at their life’s purpose, and what they sacrificed to get there
We all want a meaningful life. We want to work together fo
