A POWERFUL BLUEPRINT TO ACHIEVE LIFELONG HAPPINESS A revolutionary new approach to beating depression through lasting, supportive relationships This breakthrough book describes a revolutionary new approach to overcoming depression that has proven far more effective (94 percent success rate based on follow-up questionnaires) than drugs, psychotherapy, or both combined. Based on the authors' more than 20 years of research and practice, and sponsored by the University of South Florida, this unique, seven-step program challenges the conventional wisdom that healing occurs from the inside out. It shows that real change comes from building healthier relationships with other people, our own bodies, nature, and spirituality. The program can be used either without medications or in conjunction with them. Drawing upon the latest research in neurobiology, psychiatry, and evolutionary psychology, the authors lay bare common myths about depression--what it really is and what causes it. They arm readers with: <ul>
<li>Proven techniques for identifying dysfunctional behavior and changing it </li>
<li>A step-by-step process for establishing and maintaining healthy relationships </li>
<li>Valuable charts, questionnaires, and self-tests </li>
<li>Powerful mind-body healing techniques and exercises that restructure neural pathways in the brain and allow for new, healthier ways of thinking </li>

Behavioural science comes into play in every aspect of running a legal business, from the way strategic decisions are made, to the way good or bad news is delivered, through to how lawyers interrelate and communicate with clients. Law firms are now implementing human science initiatives to gain a competitive edge as they compete against each other for market share. Leading the Future: The Human Science of Law Firm Strategy and Leadership - provides practical how-to advice and guidance on how human sciences are interacting with the different aspects of leading, managing, and marketing in a law firm. It highlights how law firm leaders can harness human sciences to: + Develop new skills and autonomous ways of working for staff + Examine the best ways of going about formulating strategies + Ensure a high level of staff engagement, flexibility, and innovation + Improve decision making in the legal profession + Build the right culture to drive innovation and facilitate change + Create and inspire high performing teams (HPT) + Listen, discover and communicate what clients' real needs are, persuade and influence them, and target them more accurately + Build and sustain trust and cooperation throughout the firm. + Encourage cross-selling, resolve conflicts, and build collaborative relationships with clients + Hire, promote, inspire, and reward to drive staff performance and engagement Case Studies, Practical Tools and Tips... Each chapter in Leading the Future is supported by illustrative case studies from a broad range of international and regional firms, with tools and tips that you can immediately put into practice. The authors Dr Bob Murray and Dr Alicia Fortinberry (www.fortinberrymurray.com ) have deep experience in applying the latest science to business challenges and are uniquely qualified to guide law firm leaders to shape a successful strategy and drive positive change through the right leadership, culture, business development, and customer relationships for your legal business. "This book will make you think. For those active in the legal sector or with an interest in it, this looks at a number of familiar issues through a different lens. It looks at the various behavioural and physiological elements relevant to people and law firms and how these intersect with getting things done and making change happen in law firms. I found that lightbulbs went off as I reviewed the unfolding chapters - around particular issues that we (and no doubt many others) wrestle with in our businesses. Volatile and changing times call for different ways of thinking to solve and make progress against both the perennial issues and new emerging issues for legal businesses. Some of the lessons in this book can help, especially in terms of interacting with the people that make up our businesses. The authors draw upon both their technical knowledge and their practical experiences to provide helpful insights into things like implementing strategy to make them work; leading clever committed people; implementing change; and unlocking the conundrum of collaboration."

Today's law firm is an entity in flux. Economic and technological disruption - along with a range of other factors - have contributed to this change, meaning that firms are not what they used to be. It is therefore a necessity that the way they are managed also needs to change. This means, among many things, the need to corporatize the running of the firm; a move away from the focus on the billable hour towards more intangible activities such as business development and marketing and - perhaps the most important factor - the development of a new kind of leader within the legal landscape. The new kind of leader now demanded by a transformed legal profession is not readily forthcoming, however. Legal culture stresses individualism and independence, which is reinforced by firm governance, practice management, and performance management systems that are ill-suited to foster supportive and collaborative leadership practices; lawyers are trained and conditioned to be combative, autonomous, and didactic. To position oneself as a contender in a fast-moving and competitive market, the legal leader of the future must push back against these trends by acting strategically, engaging in people management, investing in their employees, and creating a working environment that places emphasis on communication, teamwork, and growth and development. Legal leadership: a handbook for future success combines the latest and most relevant intelligence from those on the frontline of law firm leadership and management, to serve as the catalyst for change and the foundation on which a strong leadership practice can be built. Drawing on their expertise and experience, our authors - ranging from behavioral psychologists to senior management figures and pofessional coaches -present a wide range of competencies and strategies to cultivate as part of a leader's personal and professional development. Whether you are already a member of your firm's senior management, or in a junior position with big aspirations, Legal leadership: a handbook for future success provides the essential tools to equip you to become a leader of the future.

Research shows that 80 percent of all strategic initiatives by professional service firms fail to meet their objectives. This book is about how to make them a success. Strategy is, in the end, about people, and will succeed or fail depending on how well partners, employees, clients, and others apply it. Scientifically, there are several basic elements in getting human beings to adopt any new strategic idea, which can be encapsulated in four questions: - Will it give me more certainty in areas of my life that I most care about? - Will it give me more autonomy, more freedom, more choice in the areas of my life that I most care about? - Will it increase the amount of trust that people have in me? - Will it increase my value, my status, in the eyes of those that I care about? Almost all of the strategic failures that the authors - Dr Bob Murray and Dr Alicia Fortinberry - have witnessed or researched have come about because the key stakeholders have answered one or more of these questions in the negative. The Human Science of Strategy: what works and what doesn't examines the issues behind each of these questions and shows how they form the drivers of almost all human decision-making and behaviour.
