 Managing Yourself Managing Others
Steven M. Darter
Each of us has giftedness, purpose and an innate motivational drive, and when we uncover it ( or stumble upon it or into it ), our life, for that moment, has a sense of congruence and fit. For some people, this book will be about helping their organizations to improve performance by tapping into the heart and soul of their employees. For others, it will be about finding a place in this world where they can feel productive and alive - where what they do has meaning, satisfaction, and a sense of purpose and fulfillment. In brief, this book is about how to be a more effective manager of people and yourself and how to create an environment that brings forth the "best" that people ( including you ) have to give.
You will not only learn how to develop Motivational Pattern insights but also how to apply what you have learned to yourself, others, and organizations. Darter's book draws upon more than 25 years of consulting with a wide range of individuals and organizations on issues related to "job fit"and the effective utilization of strengths. |

You may function adequately at a job, even forge an impressive career—but unless what you do is lit by an inner fire, you’re just getting by. Because the truth is, you were created with an indelible, highly personal pattern of innate giftedness and motivation. Arthur Miller calls it your Motivated Abilities Pattern, or MAP, and it’s nothing you learned. It’s something you were born with, the thing that makes you tick and determines your successes and failures.
In this revolutionary book, Miller invites you to explore concepts far different from anything you’ve ever read in a career development guide. Drawing on nearly 40 years’ experience analyzing the achievements of over 50,000 people, Miller uncovers a discovery about human nature that can literally change your life. If you feel frustrated and unmotivated by your present occupation—if you’ve spent months and even years wondering what to do with your life—this book can steer you in new directions that pack incredible returns.
But it doesn’t stop there. It can also help: ? Employers—Spark a quantum leap in employee morale and productivity ? Educators—Inspire the gifted achiever in every student ? Religious Leaders—Revolutionize your church’s effectiveness in fulfilling its mission
A world authority on human giftedness, Miller describes cutting-edge concepts that have proven themselves in dozens of different applications by renowned industrial, educational, religious, social service, and governmental organizations.
Miller guides you in exploring one of the most fascinating topics imaginable: yourself. How are you wired? What passions and abilities weave a surprising pattern throughout your life? What motivating factors cause you to release your giftedness?
Most important, how can you harness your MAP to release the full potential of your giftedness in this world? Taking you beyond theory, Miller walks you step-by-step through the process of defining your personal MAP.
So why wait! Start today discovering your God-ordained purpose, and how it can open doors in your life to a successful, deeply satisfying vocational pathway |
