Review: When CGI received calls from several churches asking for job descriptions, they began researching the topic and found that the majority of churches no matter the size did not have written job descriptions, yet they wanted them. This manual is the tool any church or organization can use to develop comprehensive job descriptions. It is reproducible to use the descriptions as is, plus it includes a CD Rom to help churches customize to their needs. Includes descriptions for every positions from executive pastor to cookie baker, from administrative assistant to puppeteer, from usher to pantry organizer. Besides the job descriptions you may discover a ministry you might never have thought of and expand your church s ministry in the process!

Review: The Myth The popular media often portrays Asian Americans as highly educated and successful individuals -- the "Model Minority." The Reality As the ethnic minority with the largest percentage of college graduates, many Asian Americans do enter the professional workforce. However, many of them seem to stall in their careers and never make it to the corner offices. The Solution Leading executive coach Jane Hyun explores how traditional Asian values can be at odds with Western corporate culture. By using anecdotes, case studies, and exercises, Hyun offers practical solutions for resolving misunderstandings and overcoming challenges in an increasingly multicultural workplace. This timely book explains how companies will benefit from discovering and supporting the talents of their Asian employees and shows Asians how to leverage their strengths to break through the bamboo ceiling.
