The Inner Warrior by B Stone

The Inner Warrior by B Stone

In every organization there are barriers that prevent people from contributing to the full and these often result in individuals feeling marginalized. This book argues that there is an inner warrior in every person that needs courage to change and express themselves and perform to full potential. The author uses a powerful model of the six C's to show how organizations and individuals can achieve this.

'This is an important book about life's hardest question: should you stick with what's familiar but unsatisfying, or risk change for the chance of something more meaningful? The Inner Warrior will help you confront your fears and find the courage to be yourselfIt shows that being the person you really are - not hiding behind an image - will give you enormous energy, in both your work and your personal life.' - Rachel Baird, Health Features Editor, Daily Express

'This excellent book should be required reading for all leaders. It is an indispensable road map to the mysterious terrain of team dynamics. Deeply thought provoking, it really will help you to understand why some teams excel when others implode. Written with sharp insight and practical real-life case studies this readable account of interpersonal dynamics is one of the few management books which gives you the curiosity, motivation and confidence to change your behaviour from chapter one and to reap rewards by chapter two. I couldn't put it down.' - Debbie Hewitt, Managing Director, RAC Plc Roadside Services

'This compelling read is a real insight into what really happens in business today. It can be used either as a self-improvement tool or for individuals responsible for leading change in organisations. Either way it challenges and encourages the reader to take risks in leadership behaviour, which if done appropriately, can lead to powerful results.' - Karen Geary, Group Director - HR and Corporate Communications, The Sage Group plc

'This book is a must for those concerned with managing change within their organisations or for anyone interested in developing themselves to their fullest potential. Beverley's metaphors are compelling, her arguments thought provoking and the 6 C's model provides powerful, practical tools for personal empowerment, cultural improvement and driving organisational success.' - Rosemary Chesters, Organisation Development Manager, The BOC Group

'I suspect all those in senior management and leadership positions will find the scenarios explored in this book all too familiar and will easily identify with the types of individuals and relationships so colourfully illustrated. It gives one reassurance to realise that one is not alone in the encountering barriers that seem to confront one on a daily basis and gives one the courage to see such barriers for what they are and combat them.' - Jevan Morris, Director of Intelligence & Investigation, Police Information Technology Organisation
