In Your Moment: Mastering Your Leadership Thresholds

Join Dr. Douglas Lindsay and Dr. Joseph Balskus as they strategically and methodically unfold the very temporal framework of a single moment and the consequences of that one moment. This compelling book hits and penetrates the heart, specifically asking how you choose to live your time and the moments that make up your time, how you show up to your moments, and how you prepare for your moments. Lindsay and Balskus introduce their own Tempus Model, which is a breakthrough, practical model for human behavior that occurs within a moment. As they unfold and dissect their Tempus Model, you will be compelled to evaluate the notion of time, within your moments. To supplement your appetite for understanding you and your moments, they present examples of those who made tremendous decisions that had favorable consequences and those who failed to maximize the moments they had, by choices they made (or didn't make). They will wind through the entire decision process within the moment and also evaluate why some people successfully navigate moments, while others seem to have moments and consequences they regret. Each component of the model will offer a glimpse into yourself as a person, a spouse, a father, a mother, an employee, a leader. These questions, along with others found in each chapter offer time for reflection on your moments, and the pre and post-moment checklists will provide a tremendous resource for leadership growth. You will read and feel how precious and special our moments are by reading of the author's personal stories of moments they have had to face in their own lives, including the story of one who experienced an unexpected moment. A moment no one ever wants to face but may encounter. Someone who had a promising life cut short yet, while they lived, capitalized on purposefully and effectively living each moment they had remaining. Don't miss this reading and learning experience. Time is the single common commodity that transcends culture, occupation, societies, career choice, and so many other things. It is one incident that everyone on earth possesses. Thankfully, we get to choose what we do with it. Since we don't directly control the amount of time we have, we are left to have significance in the moments that we do have. Start now by examining your moments, learn how to better prepare for those moments, and grow from empowering techniques to enact behaviors that are consistent with how you want to be as a person and as a leader.
