How do you lead an organization stuck between an ending and a new beginning—when the old way of doing things no longer works but a way forward is not yet clear? Beaumont calls such in-between times liminal seasons—threshold times when the continuity of tradition disintegrates and uncertainty about the future fuels doubt and chaos. In a liminal season it simply is not helpful to pretend we understand what needs to happen next. But leaders can still lead. How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going is a practical book of hope for tired and weary leaders who risk defining this era of ministry in terms of failure or loss. It helps leaders stand firm in a disoriented state, learning from their mistakes and leading despite the confusion. Packed with rich stories and real-world examples, Beaumont guides the reader through practices that connect the soul of the leader with the soul of the institution.

Start With Why has led millions of readers to rethink everything they do – in their personal lives, their careers and their organizations. Now Find Your Why picks up where Start With Why left off. It shows you how to apply Simon Sinek’s powerful insights so that you can find more inspiration at work -- and in turn inspire those around you. I believe fulfillment is a right and not a privilege. We are all entitled to wake up in the morning inspired to go to work, feel safe when we’re there and return home fulfilled at the end of the day. Achieving that fulfillment starts with understanding exactly WHY we do what we do. As Start With Why has spread around the world, countless readers have asked me the same question: How can I apply Start With Why to my career, team, company or nonprofit? Along with two of my colleagues, Peter Docker and David Mead, I created this hands-on, step-by-step guide to help you find your WHY. With detailed exercises, illustrations, and action steps for every stage of the process, Find Your Why can help you address many important concerns, including: * What if my WHY sounds just like my competitor’s? * Can I have more than one WHY? * If my work doesn’t match my WHY, what should I do? * What if my team can’t agree on our WHY? Whether you've just started your first job, are leading a team, or are CEO of your own company, the exercises in this book will help guide you on a path to long-term success and fulfillment, for both you and your colleagues. Thank you for joining us as we work together to build a world in which more people start with WHY. Inspire on! -- Simon

On September 11, 2001, Sujo John was on the 81st floor of the northern tower of the World Trade Center when the first plane struck the building. Do You Know Where You Are Going? tells in compelling detail the harrowing story of Sujo's descent down the stairwell, and how, as he was about to exit, the building began to fall around him. He talks about his desperate attempts to contact his pregnant wife, who worked in the southern tower of the Twin Towers, and how they finally arrived home some twelve hours after the planes struck. But Do You Know Where You Are Going? is much more than a gripping account of that terrible day. It is a tale of faith in the power of Jesus Christ and a dynamic call for all of us to recognize how short and vulnerable are our lives and how important it is that we welcome Jesus Christ into our hearts. As September 11 showed so vividly, we may plan for a long life in this lifetime, but much more pressing is how we plan for our next life. Sujo argues that only through the saving grace of calling upon Jesus Christ can we be guaranteed the life to come and offers ways we can turn our lives over to Him. Book jacket.
