# data[].attributes.description
What does it mean in practice to be a values-based leader? When faced with real situations, how can you be your best self and create best teamsawhile also being a best partner with customers and vendors, a best investment for your stakeholders, and a best citizen making a difference in the world? It's a tall order, but these are the expectations for world-class organizations today. In his bestselling book From Values to Action, Harry Kraemer showed how self-reflection, balance, true self-confidence, and genuine humility are the traits of today's most effective leaders. In Becoming the Best, his highly anticipated follow-up, Kraemer reveals how, in practical terms, anyone can apply these principles to become a values-based leader and to help create values-based organizations. Drawing on his own experiences as the former CEO and chairman of Baxter International, as well as those of other notable leaders and organizations, Kraemer lays out a pathway for understanding the principles and putting them into practice, showing specifically, how to:  Use self-reflection to become your "best self" as you lead yourself and others more effectively Create a "best team" that understands and appreciates what they're doing, and why Forge "best partnerships" through win/win collaboration with vendors and customers that enhance the end user's experience Support the mission, vision, and values of the organization to generate returns that distinguish a "best investment" Make a difference in the world beyond the organization by becoming a "best citizen"  Powerful case studies from Campbell's Soup, Ernst & Young, Target, Northern Trust, and many others demonstrate the four principles of values-based leadership in action and show how thinking beyond the corporation can trigger positive outcomes for both the company and the world. Regardless of level or job title, individuals can make a difference in their organization and beyond by embodying the essential traits of a great leader. Becoming the Best offers a definitive, actionable guide to show anyone how to apply in practice the principles of values-based leadership personally and professionally, making it an indispensable manual for the new wave of better leaders.All of Harryas proceeds from the book sales are donated to the One Acre Fund in Africa.

Passionate Embrace: Faith, Flesh, Tango is a story of desire, intimacy, and transformation, set in the sumptuous world of Argentine Tango. Sandra Vander Schaaf shares the provocative tale of an unexpected love affair with the world's most sensual dance, and an equally unexpected experience of spiritual renewal on the dance floor. This is a vivid, eloquent, honest glimpse of Christian faith and doubt and the exquisite relationship between body and soul. 

"Captivating, credible, totally without cliches." 
- Eugene Peterson, author of The Message and Telling It Slant 

"Vander Schaaf daringly compares learning to dance tango with learning to pray; each is a movement of faith. That this venture into physical intimacy was the means of grace that led her to greater spiritual intimacy with God is the refreshing surprise of this striking and moving account of renewal." 
- Luci Shaw, author of Breath for the Bones and Adventure of Ascent 

"I could not stop turning the pages. Sandra has taken a number of themes and addressed them with humour, integrity, a light touch, and the sure-footedness of a tango dancer. This is a story of the flesh made sacred, and the sacred made flesh. And, it's set to music, tango music." 
- Nicola Aime, poet.

There are undoubtedly, Fifty Shades of Trae, and I am well aware of over half of them. Until now, Ive never found the need or urge to record my most private thoughts or sentiments. In my diary and on these pages, I write from the very heart, sharing my most intimate feelings. These pages are my calm in the middle of the storm that I call Trae. Trae is an asshole, excellent lover, amazing person, family man, cold-blooded killer, fearless, crazy, calm, calculating, stubborn, handsome . . . you get my point. Sometimes Trae makes me feel like more than a woman, and at other times he makes me feel less than human. But I will make him love me, if its the last thing I do. However, I had to get this off my chest and get some things straight for the record.

This diary entry by an obsessed Charli Li, also intertwines with The Letters that are a part of Wahida Clarks Thug Series.

This is a collection of seven short stories by Louisa May Alcott, an American novelist best known as author of the novel 'Little Women.' In the mid-1860s, Alcott wrote passionate, fiery novels and sensational stories. She also produced wholesome stories for children, and after their positive reception, she did not generally return to creating works for adults. Alcott continued to write until her death. "These stories were written for my own amusement during a period of enforced seclusion. The flowers which were my solace and pleasure suggested titles for the tales and gave an interest to the work. If my girls find a little beauty or sunshine in these common blossoms, their old friend will not have made her Garland in vain."

It is my belief that all men can change the course of their lives. By our imagination, by our affirmations, we can change our world, we can change our future. I have always preached that if we strive passionately to embody a new and higher concept of ourselves, then all things will be at our service. Most men are totally unaware of the creative power of imagination and invariably bow before the dictates of "facts" and accepts life on the basis of the world without. But when you discover this creative power within yourself, you will boldly assert the supremacy of imagination and put all things in subjection to it.
