Download or read book The End of Greatness written by Aaron David Miller and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Presidency has always been an implausible—some might even say an impossible—job. Part of the problem is that the challenges of the presidency and the expectations Americans have for their presidents have skyrocketed, while the president's capacity and power to deliver on what ails the nations has diminished. Indeed, as citizens we continue to aspire and hope for greatness in our only nationally elected office. The problem of course is that the demand for great presidents has always exceeded the supply. As a result, Americans are adrift in a kind of Presidential Bermuda Triangle suspended between the great presidents we want and the ones we can no longer have. The End of Greatness explores the concept of greatness in the presidency and the ways in which it has become both essential and detrimental to America and the nation's politics. Miller argues that greatness in presidents is a much overrated virtue. Indeed, greatness is too rare to be relevant in our current politics, and driven as it is by nation-encumbering crisis, too dangerous to be desirable. Our preoccupation with greatness in the presidency consistently inflates our expectations, skews the debate over presidential performance, and drives presidents to misjudge their own times and capacity. And our focus on the individual misses the constraints of both the office and the times, distorting how Presidents actually lead. In wanting and expecting our leaders to be great, we have simply made it impossible for them to be good. The End of Greatness takes a journey through presidential history, helping us understand how greatness in the presidency was achieved, why it's gone, and how we can better come to appreciate the presidents we have, rather than being consumed with the ones we want.

Download or read book Destined for Greatness written by Michael Ramirez and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuing the dream of a musical vocation—particularly in rock music—is typically regarded as an adolescent pipedream. Music is marked as an appropriate leisure activity, but one that should be discarded upon entering adulthood. How then do many men and women aspire to forge careers in music upon entering adulthood? In Destined for Greatness, sociologist Michael Ramirez examines the lives of forty-eight independent rock musicians who seek out such non-normative choices in a college town renowned for its music scene. He explores the rich life course trajectories of women and men to explore the extent to which pathways are structured to allow some, but not all, individuals to fashion careers in music worlds. Ramirez suggests a more nuanced understanding of factors that enable the pursuit of musical livelihoods well into adulthood.

Book excerpt: Living Life Consciously Living Life Consciously shares with you, your soul purpose, soul lesson and life lesson, each components of what constitutes your purpose in life. It reflects on your gifts and lessons, and how to actively and consciously implement them in your life in order to experience personal and spiritual enlightenment. As the ego and the soul come face to face on this earth plane, they become intertwined, and must learn to experience life holistically and from a common viewpoint. Thus begins the battle for both personal and soul growth. As you learn to love, appreciate and acknowledge every facet of who you are, you begin to experience your absolute potential through your innate power and uniqueness, which brings fulfillment, happiness and inner contentment. Together, the ego and the soul dance symbiotically to the rhythm of life. Living Life Consciously assists you to expand your awareness and thus encounter the blessings that life has to offer. Instead of battling to swim upstream you learn how to consciously manoeuvre your way downstream, going with the flow of life, rather than against it. You will learn how to interact with others and the dynamics of your relationships that either help or hinder you in your development towards self-growth and self-acceptance. Living Life Consciously teaches you that your purpose in life is not only to share your unique talents and abilities with others, but more importantly how to use your strengths to develop and embrace those aspects of yourself that you reject, thereby creating a 'whole' individual. Ultimately the ego and the soul are transformed and unite through the knowledge that they are inextricably interconnected. Together they create a harmonious, creative and constructive foundation needed to experience the joy and abundance ava

Download or read book Aspire to Greatness written by Nick Corso and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-02-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I decided to write this book as a way to give something back. What I did not want to do in writing it, however, is make it about me. Instead, I wanted to make it about what I have learned but couched in lessons from others who are far more recognizable. To be sure, as we go through life, we will all be faced with challenges in our personal and professional lives. Unfortunately, for many of us, the only way we will learn to deal with the situation is to progress through it. If the desire to lead pulses through your veins at all, then I encourage you to become a student of the great leaders that surround you. Do not wait and attempt to muddle your way through a career fraught with difficult situations. Be preemptive. Become a student of both the art and the science of leadership. Aspire to Greatness was written as a guide to help others develop, discover and accelerate their leadership potential through the process of awareness and the study of great leaders who have come before us. If we accomplish nothing more with this book, what I hope you learn is that leadership is a very valuable commodity in today's society and that great leaders are made, not born. Learn what others who have come before you have done and study how they have risen to greatness in their respective capacities. Leaders come in all shapes and sizes and some rise to higher levels of success than others. So, as I stated earlier, if the desire to lead pulses through your veins, then why not Aspire to Greatness and do all that you can to make yourself one of the few legendary leaders of our time.

Download or read book Good to Great written by Jim Collins and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2001-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. “Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?
