When faced with problems many business leaders and teams reach for familiar and standard problem-solving methods, often creating unnecessary struggle, frustration, delay, and ineffectiveness in solving the problem -- if it is ever solved at all! In other words, they keep reaching for the same old hammer as if every business problem were a nail. In Four Types of Problems, continuous improvement expert and author Art Smalley shows you how to break the "hammer-and-nail" trap. He demonstrates that most business problems fall into four main categories: 1.Troubleshooting 2. Gap-from-standard3. Target-state 4. Open-ended and Innovation "Organizations and individuals at all levels fall into the trap of having one primary or standard way of solving every problem," writes Smalley, who learned problem solving from Tomoo Harada at Toyota's historic Kamigo engine plant. Harada led the maintenance activities that created the stability needed for Taiichi Ohno's innovations in the Toyota Production System. Each type of problem category requires different thought processes, improvement methods, and management cadences. Each type has its own sub-system and surfacing mechanism, management cadence, timing, and difficulty level, he explained. One size does not fit all situations and just training people in tools or techniques only scratches the surface of problem solving.

It is not a lack of training in the art of rhetoric that accounts for the ineffectiveness of preaching within Christian churches. More significant is the lack of adequate theological foundations. While recognizing the great contribution that neo-orthodoxy and the "dialectical imagination" have made, Hilkert's major contribution is a scholarly examination of the resources of the "sacramental imagination."This examinations shifts the focus from the divine-human gap and the sinfulness of humanity to the grace discovered in everyday life, and the word entrusted to the entire community of faith. With particular attention to what constitutes "women's experience," the final chapters engage the issue of how social location shapes the experience of both hearers and preachers of the word.

Although life was physically more difficult in the days of the horse and carriage, we complained much less back then, and when we did, our complaints were more likely to get results. Today we complain about everything--yet do so with remarkable ineffectiveness. Most of us grumble, vent, and kvetch, neither expecting nor getting meaningful resolutions. Wasting prodigious amounts of time and energy on unproductive complaints can take an emotional and psychological toll on our moods and well-being. We desperately need to relearn the art of complaining effectively.Psychotherapist Guy Winch offers practical and psychologically grounded advice on how to determine what to complain about and what to let slide. He demonstrates how to convey our complaints in ways that encourage cooperation and increase the likelihood of getting resolutions to our dissatisfactions. The principles he spells out apply whether we're dealing with a rude store clerk, a bureaucrat, a coworker, our teenager, or a spouse or partner who's driving us crazy.Complaining constructively can be extremely empowering and it can significantly strengthen our personal, familial, and work relationships. Applying our new-found complaining skills to customer service representatives, corporate leaders, and elected officials increases the odds that our comments will be taken seriously. If we all complained more effectively, squeaky wheels could change our own lives as well as the world for the better.

The Church is being invaded by spiritual parasites that are causing weakness, paralysis, blindness, and ineffectiveness in the Body of Christ today. Using the seven churches of the Book of Revelation as the backdrop for her teaching on this vital subject, Tina Blount speaks directly and convincingly about: The parasite of busyness The parasite of fear The parasite of compromise The parasite of tolerance The parasite of blind hypocrisy The parasite of inferiority The parasite of complacency The author writes, Shortly after major surgery, I learned that a rare parasite had been found in my body, I later learned that if the parasite had lived, it would have traveled to my eyes, spiritual parasites do the same thing. They enter during moments of vulnerability or weakness, and, left unadressed, they will feed on the host until they render it useless or destroy it. This analogy is effective in that it not only warns us but it shows us how to deal with the problem through effective spiritual warfare. Let's heed the warning and protect the Chruch of Jesus Christ, our own lives, and our families through the strategies outlined in this eye–opening, helpful book.

Power, Ideology and the War on Drugs Johns examines the ineffectiveness of the US anti-drugs policy to accomplish its stated goal, the heightened social costs brought about by a "war" strategy, the socioeconomic context of drug use and drug trafficking, and the wider political implications of the policy.
