Mindset - Understanding My Child

The book's strength lies in its 'questionnaire' format - posing questions and suggesting answers rather than proffering outright advice.

"Mindset" allows for the development of communication and negotiation skills by having to discuss and talk through the choices made and to confront issues without being confrontational.

"Mindset" offers families the opportunity for interaction, the encouragement of creativity, stimulus, growth and development, for the redirection and guidance of thoughts.

Winning Hearst and Minds

Leadership is the means by which all life, be it animal or human, survives and achieves in the world. Without it, we would simply descend into anarchy and chaos.
But the success of leadership depends upon the techniques it employs to persuade its followers to follow. While authoritarianism, fear and bribery have all, to some degree, proved effective forms of leadership, David Gilbert-Smith advocates ‘personal power’ and the ability to “know and control oneself first, to lead oneself so that then, and only then, can one lead others” as the fundamental principle of leadership. The results are far more potent than any draconian measures.

Winning Hearts and Minds is David’s philosophy of how good and great leaders, rather than imposing their will from without, should win the trust and respect of their disciples, teaching them to look inwards and learn from themselves, not just to ‘take orders’. Its inspirational ideas will open up the path to self-development, showing that winning hearts and minds can change lives and deliver results.
