Necessary Endings: (better than NYR?)

The Employees, Businesses, and Relationships

We All Have To Give Up In Order To Move Ahead…

NYR = New Years Resolutions

While endings are a natural part of life and business, 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 about in business growth or rewarding personal lives, and especially so, I Merlin, maintain if we are to develop fruitful spiritual dimensions.  

In this insightful and deeply emphatic book, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when executed well, “necessary endings” allow us to proactively correct the bad and broken in our lives. When endings are avoided or handled poorly, as too often is the case, good opportunities may be lost, and misery repeated. Drawing on years as an executive coach and a psychologist, Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advise and case studies to help readers:

1.) Know when to have realistic hope and when to execute a necessary ending in a business, or with an individual;

2.) Identify which employees, projects, activities, and relationships are worth nurturing and which are not;

3.) Overcome people’s resistance to change and create change that is effective;

4.) Create urgency and an action plan for what’s important;

5.) Stop wasting resources needed for the things that really matter.

Knowing when and how to let go of either something or someone, when it isn’t working out – whether it be in a personal relationship, a job, a ministry, or a business venture – is absolutely essential for short term  vitality and especially for thriving long term in all dimensions. Necessary Endings gives readers the tools they need to say good-bye and move on.
