Download or read book Forged in Bravery written by John Robert Hatfield and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to call out the brave within you and unleash your masculine power! When many thousands of years of strictly gendered cultural expectations meet the pressures of the modern age, what does it mean to be a man? What does true, healthy masculinity look like for both you and the world around you, and how can you achieve it? In Forged in Bravery, author and leadership psychologist John Robert Hatfield reflects on his experience from thirty years of counseling men, current research, and his own lifelong relationship with his masculinity to navigate through the maze of modern masculine confusion. From exploring strategies for healthily managing anger to investigating the overlooked importance of cultivating male friendships, Hatfield analyzes the masks men wear that perpetuate a false facade of masculinity to confront the many harmful cultural narratives that have defined our expectations of what a man should be. Instead, this book will teach you how to unashamedly call out and awaken the brave within you, confront the fears that dominate you, and embrace the braveass virtues that forge true masculinity. Hatfield establishes a new standard for measuring when men are truly at their best that revolves on self-leadership, resilience, and vulnerability. Forged in Bravery is a call to action for men to confront their fears and examine their attitudes on masculinity so they can start living an authentic and empowered life.

Download or read book Forged in Crisis written by Nancy Koehn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER “Five gritty leaders whose extraordinary passion and perseverance changed history…a gripping read on a timeless and timely topic” —Angela Duckworth, #1 bestselling author of Grit An enthralling historical narrative filled with critical leadership insights, Forged in Crisis, by celebrated Harvard Business School historian Nancy Koehn, spotlights five masters of crisis: polar explorer Ernest Shackleton; President Abraham Lincoln; legendary abolitionist Frederick Douglass; Nazi-resisting clergyman Dietrich Bonhoeffer; and environmental crusader Rachel Carson. What do such disparate figures have in common? Why do their extraordinary stories continue to amaze and inspire? In delivering the answers to those questions, Nancy Koehn offers a remarkable template by which to judge those in our own time to whom the public has given its trust. She begins each of the book’s five sections by showing her protagonist on the precipice of a great crisis: Shackleton marooned on an Antarctic ice floe; Lincoln on the verge of seeing the Union collapse; escaped slave Douglass facing possible capture; Bonhoeffer agonizing over how to counter absolute evil with faith; Carson racing against the cancer ravaging her in a bid to save the planet. The narrative then reaches back to each person’s childhood and shows the individual growing—step by step—into the person he or she will ultimately become. Significantly, as we follow each leader’s against-all-odds journey, we begin to glean an essential truth: leaders are not born but made. In a book dense with epiphanies, the most galvanizing one may be that the power to lead courageously resides in each of us. Whether it’s read as a repository of great insight or as exceptionally rendered human drama, Forged in Crisis stands as a towering achievement.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Character and Leadership Development in Military Schools written by Ryan, Mark Patrick and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military academies have served youth for more than a century with proud traditions of producing graduates who are scholars, leaders, and athletes who adhere to a code of honor and ethical principles as they take the knowledge, skills, and dispositions gained at those academies into higher education, the business world, military service, civic endeavors, and the broader workforce. There is a current gap and need for research that explores the various components of a K-20 military school/college education and how those components successfully produce leaders of character for our military, civic, academic, and business worlds both in the United States and abroad. The Handbook of Research on Character and Leadership Development in Military Schools synthesizes research on the impact of military academies by providing a singular compendium of current academic studies on the graduates of military academies and the communities of which they enter after graduation. The chapters will explore the academics, leadership, character development, citizenship, athletics, and other dimensions of both global and national, and both private and public, military academies. This book is ideal for current leaders, staffs, governing board members, and alumni of military academies both in the United States and internationally along with policymakers, government officials, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the implications of character and leadership development on individuals enrolled in or graduated from military schools.
Download or read book Forging Excalibur written by Michael Lauria and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our modern Toxic "Success" Driven society is placing enormous pressure on Men to acquire material wealth and social acceptance, resulting in Men feeling even more inadequate and uncertain, creating deeper levels of disconnection with themselves. There is nothing wrong with money, nor achievement, but to make "success" the driving force is damaging Men, as they do not know how to strive for goals and achievement whilst still remaining healthy, well balanced Men; able to integrate their masculinity in a healthy way. Add to this, the fact that Men endure a glaring spotlight on them constantly, with movements such as #metoo and concepts such as "toxic masculinity" in our society. This is placing all Men in the same unhealthy container with this ideology that we all possess a core which is innately aggressive, violent and misogynistic. This widespread sensationalist and false vision of Men is becoming mainstream and permeating our consciousness as well as indoctrinating young people into this mindset. It is damaging to Men on a very core, fundamental level. These unhealthy concepts then adversely affect their intimate relationships and quality of parenting. Men's contribution to society is waning and the nurturing of healthy masculine within all Men which has served humanity at a high level for millennia is deteriorating.As a result, we are faced with a generation of Men, who are totally unaware of who they are, their purpose in life and lacking any connection with the core of who they are and what they represent. These same Men are raising a new generation of boys who are under phenomenal amounts of strain and a crisis of purpose and identity, which is leading to record levels of depression and suicide in Men across the globe. It is a catastrophe of massive proportions which is permeating our minds and adversely affecting our global culture at a level we've never seen and an issue which requires its own, brighter spotlight.This is where my new book "Forging Excalibur" comes in. will help to bring light to these issues and attempt to answer questions Men across the planet have regarding themselves and their uncertain future as Men. It attempts to bridge the gap between where we are and where we need to be as Men and in turn, give Men some great tools, healthy ideologies, concepts and awarenesses in order to begin the process of growth which is, in effect forging their own sense of "SELF" - their very own "Excalibur"."Forging Excalibur" will help and empower Men to find purpose and meaning in life, get in touch with their core values and operate at optimum levels in life, which will contribute to creating a society where Men are fully embodied and integrated within their masculine. I liken the process of a Man rediscovering his masculinity as that which a sword goes through when forged. It is subjected to extreme heat and a literal battering, before it becomes something useful with purpose. Similarly, a man must endure extreme adversity, walk through the veritable fire; if he is to develop the strength, resilience and fortitude to be able to fully embody and integrate the masculine"Within these pages you will find the "Seven Standards of Men" which are standards I feel every Man should aspire to embody to create the very best version of himself he can be. This book is for good Men who wish to become better.These Men make better partners, better fathers and better sons; better PEOPLE.This is a journey of self discovery where you will set into the fire, be hammered, folded, hammered again, shaped and crafted into the Man you know you have within you. This book will help you to forge your own version of "Excalibur" which you will carry with you in life with Strength, Passion and Purpose.
