Aprende cuándo otorgarla, cómo cultivarla y cómo restaurarla cuando se pierde La confianza es básica para relacionarnos. El amor, el crecimiento, la fe, la salud y el éxito económico dependen de ella.

Incluso, en ocasiones somos nosotros quienes dejamos de ser fiables para los que nos rodean. ¿Cuándo y a quién darle nuestra confianza? ¿Cómo mantenerla y, sobre todo, cómo repararla cuando se rompe? Tras varias décadas de experiencia como terapeuta y consultor empresarial, el doctor Henry Cloud, autor de Límites —obra con más de 20 millones de copias vendidas en todo el mundo—, reúne en este nuevo libro los cinco principios de la confianza: comprensión, motivo, capacidad, carácter e historial, los cuales deben estar presentes para que cualquier relación sea exitosa. ¡Aprende a creer en los demás y experimenta lazos más fructíferos en cada área de tu vida!

Trust is the fuel for all of life. We are wired biologically, neurologically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically to trust. Trust is the currency that drives every relationship, beginning with the foundational bond between infants and their mothers, extending to the trust networks that undergird every human endeavor - art, science, commerce - and binding together every relationship we have ever had or ever will have. Nothing in our world works without trust. It is tempting to think that trust is simple, that we should be able to spot a lack of trustworthiness relatively easily. But we all have our stories about misplaced trust. We either missed clear or subtle warning signs or there just were not any warning signs to see. Everything looked good on the surface, and maybe it was. But we got burned anyway. And sometimes we struggle to earn and keep the trust of those around us when trust bonds fail to form or are broken. When trust breaks down, so does our ability to move forward. Bestselling and beloved author, psychologist, and leadership expert Henry Cloud equips us to understand and manage trust in all our relationships. Dr. Cloud explores the five foundational aspects of trust that must be present for any relationship to function successfully and helps us to understand both what can cause us to exercise faulty judgment in our trust decisions and what can cause us to fail to inspire trust in others. He also guides us through the difficult process of repairing trust when it has been violated and broken, even when restoring trust feels impossible. Rich with wisdom drawn from decades of experience in clinical practice, business consulting and research, Trust is the ultimate resource for managing this most complex and fundamental of human bonds, allowing us to experience more fruitful and rewarding relationships in every area of our lives.

El experto en psicología del liderazgo y autor best seller de Integridad, Necessary Endings, y Límites para líderes identifica el ingrediente crítico para el bienestar personal y profesional. La mayor parte de liderazgo se enfoca en ayudar a líderes a desarrollar sus capacidades y conocimientos y cerrar las brechas en el desempeño. Esto es necesario, pero no suficiente. Utilizando evidencia de neurociencia y su trabajo con líderes, el doctor Henry Cloud demuestra que los mejores líderes se basan en otro recurso vital: relaciones personales y profesionales que potencian el crecimiento y les ayuda a superar los límites actuales. La sabiduría popular sugiere que no debemos permitir que otras personas tengan poder sobre nosotros, pero la realidad es que lo hacen, para bien o para mal. Piensa en el jefe que te menosprecia mediante comentarios cortantes versus uno que te reta a superarte. O el colega que siempre busca el protagonismo versus el que te da la confianza para terminar un proyecto difícil. O el cónyuge que es honesto y te apoya versus el que se resiente con tu éxito. No importa cuán talentosos, inteligentes, o experimentados son los grandes líderes, todos comparten algo en común: el poder de otros en sus vidas. Combinando estudios de caso cautivadores, resultados convincentes de investigación cerebral vanguardista, y ejemplos de su práctica de consultoría, el doctor Cloud argumenta que no importa si eres miembro de la milicia o un ejecutivo corporativo, el rendimiento sobresaliente depende de tener el tipo correcto de conexiones para potenciar el crecimiento personal y minimizar las asociaciones tóxicas y sus efectos. Al presentar un modelo dinámico del impacto que estos distintos tipos de conexiones producen, el doctor Cloud muestra a los lectores cómo obtener más de sí mismos basándose en la fuerza y la pericia de otras personas. No puedes elejir si otros tienen o no poder en tu vida, pero puedes elegir qué tipo de relaciones deseas.

An expert on the psychology of leadership and the bestselling author of Integrity, Necessary Endings, and Boundaries For Leaders identifies the critical ingredient for personal and professional wellbeing. Most leadership coaching focuses on helping leaders build their skills and knowledge and close performance gaps. These are necessary, but not sufficient. Using evidence from neuroscience and his work with leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud shows that the best performers draw on another vital resource: personal and professional relationships that fuel growth and help them surpass current limits. Popular wisdom suggests that we should not allow others to have power over us, but the reality is that they do, for better or for worse. Consider the boss who diminishes you through cutting remarks versus one who challenges you to get better. Or the colleague who always seeks the limelight versus the one who gives you the confidence to finish a difficult project. Or the spouse who is honest and supportive versus the one who resents your success. No matter how talented, intelligent, or experienced, the greatest leaders share one commonality: the power of the others in their lives. Combining engaging case studies, persuasive findings from cutting-edge brain research, and examples from his consulting practice, Dr. Cloud argues that whether you’re a Navy SEAL or a corporate executive, outstanding performance depends on having the right kind of connections to fuel personal growth and minimize toxic associations and their effects. Presenting a dynamic model of the impact these different kinds of connections produce, Dr. Cloud shows readers how to get more from themselves by drawing on the strength and expertise of others. You don’t have a choice whether or not others have power in your life, but you can choose what kinds of relationships you want.

In Our Mothers, Ourselves, Henry Cloud and John Townsend show how understanding how our mothers have profoundly influenced our lives can set us on a path toward wholeness and growth.

How do we recognize our destructive patterns, make new choices, and then follow through? In Never Go Back, bestselling author Dr. Henry Cloud shares ten doorways to success – and once we walk through these new pathways, we never go back again. His proven method – based on grace, not guilt – outlines ten common life patterns that sabotage success and lays out clear, concrete steps you can take to overcome them. You’ll see your relationships flourish, your personal life enhanced, and your faith strengthened. Dr. Cloud’s powerful message reveals doorways to understanding – once you enter them, you will get from where you were to where you want to be. With a winning combination of eternal principles, spiritual wisdom, and modern scientific data, Never Go Back will put your heart in the right place with yourself and with God.

End Pain. Foster Personal and Professional Growth. Live Better. While endings are a natural part of business and life, we often experience them with a sense of hesitation, sadness, resignation, or regret. But consultant, psychologist, and bestselling author Dr. Henry Cloud sees endings differently. He argues that our personal and professional lives can only improve to the degree that we can see endings as a necessary and strategic step to something better. If we cannot see endings in a positive light and execute them well, he asserts, the "better" will never come either in business growth or our personal lives. In this insightful and deeply empathetic book, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when executed well, "necessary endings" allow us to proactively correct the bad and the broken in our lives in order to make room for the professional and personal growth we seek. However, when endings are avoided or handled poorly—as is too often the case—good opportunities may be lost, and misery repeated. Drawing on years of experience as an executive coach and a psychologist, Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advice and case studies to help readers know when to have realistic hope and when to execute a necessary ending in a business, or with an individual; identify which employees, projects, activities, and relationships are worth nurturing and which are not; overcome people''s resistance to change and create change that works; create urgency and an action plan for what''s important; stop wasting resources needed for the things that really matter. Knowing when and how to let go when something, or someone, isn''t working—a personal relationship, a job, or a business venture—is essential for happiness and success. Necessary Endings gives readers the tools they need to say good-bye and move on.

In this revolutionary new curriculum, Henry Cloud, Bill Donahue, and John Townsend establish a whole new training paradigm---one that equips leaders and groups simultaneously and gives them everything they need to start and sustain a life-changing group. All it requires is a small group and a DVD player. Four sixty-minute sessions train leaders and group members in the foundational values and practices of becoming a life-changing community. These sixty-minute sessions are the foundations of small groups that include teaching by the authors, creative segments, and activities and discussion time. * The group has the chance to review and learn new group life techniques during the year with Thirteen five-minute coaching segments on topics such as active listening, personal sharing, giving and receiving feedback, prayer, calling out the best in others, and more. Each session includes a mix of three elements: * Teaching by the authors * Creative segments (such as modeling dramas, person-on-the-street interviews, personal stories/testimonies, creative multimedia, etc.) * Small group activities and processing/discussion time The four sessions include: * Session 1 provides a foundational experience that helps group members get excited about the adventure and life-changing power of small group life. Exercises and guided discussions create an initial sense of connection, safety, and most of all, fun! * Session 2 focuses on introducing values, ground rules, and logistical issues. Relationships are deepened through the group''s assessment and discussion of the values most important to them, while exercises facilitate group ownership of these issues. * Session 3 unpacks each of the five key values through in-depth teaching and practical examples. Group members learn that all are responsible for implementing the five values in the life of the group, and they practice applying two of the values during the session (''Be real'' and ''accept one another''). * Session 4 transitions the group to running on its own. Exercises help the group clarify what their focus will be, and what they want to do in their next meeting (the first meeting without the DVD curriculum). This session also provides an inspiring wrap-up for the course that casts vision for what the group can become if it lives out its values. The Life-Changing Power of Group Life DVD and Participants Guide are available separately.
