Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a kid, Adrian Peterson got the nickname "All Day" (A.D.) because he was always on the go. As an adult, teammates still call him A.D., because he never stops working. Adrian's tremendous work ethic has helped him become one of the best running backs in the NFL. Some of A.D.'s most important work takes place off the field, however. After his rookie season, he started the All Day Foundation, an organization that raises money for charities such as the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Special Olympics. Through all of his success, A.D. has always recognized that hard work should not be limited to the football field. In Adrian Peterson, kids will follow this NFL star’s record-setting football career while also discovering the many ways that A.D. makes a difference in kids' lives off the field. Large, full-color action photos and an engaging narrative text will keep young readers turning the pages for more.

Download or read book Leadership Communication as Citizenship written by John O. Burtis and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-11-06 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership Communication articulates the important roles communication plays in helping to co-construct group, organizational, or community direction. Leadership Communication focuses on the communication skills necessary to help co-construct an effective direction in one's systems while playing the varied roles of doer, follower, guide, manager, and/or leader. Leadership Communication is organized around three major units: 1) the integrally linked role played by communication and direction-givers in constructing our past, current, and future experiences; 2) the communication skills required for different types of direction-givers, and 3) the nature of dramatic action, which represents human engagement in systems, that may manifest as ethical action and future experiences. This book has a number of unique features including: a coherent and unified set of frameworks with which to synthesize and employ a wide range of leadership research results and theory as well as other practical materials from contemporary leadership studies; a focus on explaining the common communicative elements and skills (e.g., soliciting and saving narratives for use as teaching tales, strategic stories, and memorable messages; framing and critical incidents; dialog, discussion, and debate) involved across seemingly quite different leadership contexts (e.g., working in groups, in small organizations, in large and complex organizations, in social movements, in communities, and in the broad cultural sweep of civic life); a discussion of the different processes for attaining a direction-giving role or position given the different needs faced by the system; an explanation of the art of following, doing, and guiding well: the "small leadership" so often overlooked or undervalued in leader-centric explanations for effective systems; an explanation of three different orientations for "communicating the vision": selling a vision; working with those who are seeking a vision; and acting with those for whom a vision is an evoked co-construction; and a discussion of how crisis (as a point of decision or of opportunity) can be useful as a source of the energy and rhetorical resources necessary for rare and difficult forms of dramatic action (leadership).
