Download or read book Raised by the World written by Vincent Kabaso PGA and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised By The World is an adventurous book about hope, perseverance, passion, and grit. It recounts Vincent’s passionate journey of self-discovery which began when his dad introduced him to golf. Until then, he was an uninspired boy hunting for birds and mice with prospects limited to the confines of this economically depressed rural Zambian town. When he emerged as a young golfing prodigy and decided to pursue a career in golf, it introduced him to a new world of opportunity, but at the same time, it began a pursuit of happiness journey whose questions don’t have immediate answers and every step forward breaks traditional norms in this developing African country with fewer than 5000 golfers and 20 golf courses. Learning invaluable life lessons while enduring unimaginable predicaments along the way, he shares his exhilarating journey culminating to the moment he earned membership to the Professional Golfers Association of America. Raised by the World is a compelling, inspirational book from a leader who from humbled beginnings and against all odds has weathered storms with higher stakes than most people will ever encounter. Challenge, change and commitment flow from Raised by the World. This book is about Vincent Kabaso’s still unfolding story- both the heartaches he has faced, and the many accomplishments he has had—from his roots in Africa to his journey to America. A must-read book for anyone serious about learning some of the best traits possible and taking incredible risks to better their lives. — Major General Steven J Hashem (US Army, Ret.) I am so glad that Vincent has poured himself and his efforts into writing Raised by the World, it truly is an amazing story worth every minute of the read. From the first time we met back in 2013 on the campus of Methodist University, I knew this young man was something special. Vincent had already defied the odds of so many young people from Zambia and utilized golf as a way to escape the hardships his family endured. He wanted to see the world and make it a better place. During his time with us in the PGA Golf Management Program we saw his passion for the game and love for the Lord never waiver, despite what would be another major setback when losing his financial backing due to political and economic turmoil back home. His positive attitude and persistence were a true testament to the students in our program. -Bob Bruns, PGA/Director Methodist University PGA Golf Management Program

Download or read book Exploration of Leadership Behaviors of PGA Professionals in the Golf Industry written by Sung June Won and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 24,000 members of the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) of America play important roles as business leaders in the golf industry. These PGA professionals occupy key managerial positions at private and public golf clubs, which are the core of the golf industry. However, because scholars have not considered them to be leaders we lack leadership studies about their role in the industry. To fill this gap, this study used Kouzes and Posner (2007) five leadership behaviors - modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, encouraging the heart - to explore PGA professionals' leadership engagements at golf clubs. To examine whether there were differences in the five leadership behaviors between different types of golf clubs (private versus public golf clubs) and different types of job positions (i.e., general manager, director of golf, head golf professional, and assistant golf professional), a Multivariate Analysis of Covariance (MANCOVA) was performed. Demographic characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, educational level, age, and employment status were controlled as covariates because these factors influenced the five leadership behaviors (Kouzes & Posner 1987, 2007; Posner & Kouzes, 1993; Posner, 2014, 2015). 144 PGA professionals from 19 out of 41 PGA sections in the United States participated in the survey. The study's results showed that between the different types of golf clubs there was no difference in engaging the five leadership behaviors, even though organizational characteristics would differ in the two contexts (Brymer & Johanson, 2011). I assumed that the high level of homogeneity of PGA professionals was the source for this lack of difference. The majority of PGA professionals are Caucasian Males, and for the most part they follow the same educational path in their careers. In previous leadership studies, these factors (i.e., ethnicity, gender, and educational background) had an influence on differences in the five leadership behaviors (Kouzes & Posner, 1988; Posner, 2014, 2015). On the other hand, there were significant differences in engaging the five leadership behaviors across different job positions. Specifically, PGA directors of golf more frequently engaged in modeling the way than PGA assistant golf professionals. I assumed that age and work experience caused this difference. Older professionals were more engaged in leadership behaviors due to a legacy belief that motivated them to serve as good role models for the next generation (Zacher, Rosing, & Frese, 2011). Typically, PGA directors of golf are older and possess more work experience than PGA assistant golf professionals. In conclusion, in their organizations PGA professionals frequently engage in the five leadership behaviors. They are the industrial leaders. However, to be more effective leaders that can build a strong relationship with subordinates and make a difference with them, PGA professionals should keep practicing leadership behaviors because leadership is a thing we can practice. Practice takes time, but anyone can be more effective leader. Leaders are made not born!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the complexities of social change that have become evident in the 21st century, there is a need for innovation in career theory that takes into account new perspectives and the fluctuating contexts of people’s lives. Contemporary Theories of Career Development: International Perspectives brings together the contributions of theorists from around the globe whose work represents current, cutting-edge international approaches to career development theory. Emphasizing the new perspectives that are needed for this field to be relevant in a contemporary era, this book considers the cultural applications of theory in a diverse range of populations. Structured in three parts with chapters written by internationally renowned leaders in the field, this collection features a critical examination of the current history of the field; thirteen theory chapters, each enhanced by a case study; and a final chapter that draws the previous chapters together through key themes, broadening the reader’s knowledge of theoretical perspectives and their interrelations. Each theory chapter author comments on and critiques his or her own theory, inviting readers to engage with these theories at both a practical and theoretical level through the case studies. Detailed, with reader-friendly descriptions and supplemented by international research, case examples, and discussion questions, Contemporary Theories of Career Development: International Perspectives is the ideal reference work for students studying the topic as well as a stimulus for researchers and practitioners looking to implement the theories in their work.
