The early 21st century has witnessed an erosion of trust in business leaders - in their capacity to deliver sustained growth and in the integrity which underpins their decisions. In responding to these challenges, Touchpoint Leadership puts forward a new leadership paradigm, asserting that relationships are the primary asset of a business. Drawing on a diverse array of case stories from their coaching work, the authors demonstrate how successful leaders apply touch point principles to building critical business relationships - between individuals, teams and business entities - with significant results. They provide a developmental framework through which individuals can scrutinise their own leadership, inject it with new life and meaning and release the energy and creativity necessary for collective learning and growth.
This book offers a new reading of Hilary's Trinitarian theology that takes into account the historical context of Hilary's thought. It shows how Hilary's exile altered his theological sensibility, and it examines the theological themes that emerged from this new context.
The place of Hilary of Poitiers in the debates and developments of early Christianity is tenuous in contemporary scholarship. His invaluable historical position is unquestioned, but the coherence and significance of his own thought is less certain. In this book, Jarred A. Mercer makes a case for understanding Hilary not only as an important historical figure, but as a noteworthy and independent thinker. Divine Perfection and Human Potentiality offers a new paradigm for understanding Hilary's work De Trinitate. The book contends that in all of Hilary's polemical and constructive argumentation, which is essentially trinitarian, he is inherently developing an anthropology. The work therefore re...

What precisely does Hilary's so-called Opus Historicum aim at? His Preface provides the clue. An introduction to the present edition sketches the mutilated work's discovery, tabulates its contents, and discusses problems of dating and authenticity. The English translation, which faces the Latin text, adopts some alternative readings. The Preface is elucidated in itself, and by reference to the earlier In Matthaeum. Central issues are hope and love, confessors and martyrs, imperial favours and threats, the bishop and his inner freedom. The circumspect treatment of both the reader and the subject reveals 'conscientization' of the bishops as the aim of the Opus Historicum. One of the book's excurses deals with the edict of Arles and Milan, and concludes that the nameless creed quoted by Hilary might preserve the lost edict's doctrinal preliminaries.

This exciting and ambitious book shows how we can re-design the welfare state for this century.

But it is out of kilter now: an elaborate and expensive system of managing needs and risks. Today we face new challenges. Our resources have changed.
