Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Possibly no one on Earth personally knows as many people at the helms of nations, businesses, religions, charitable organizations, and institutes of learning as Henry O. Dormann—founder, chairman, and editor-in-chief of LEADERS magazine, whose circulation is limited to such leading figures. Here, he brings together the first-ever exclusive collection of wisdom and inspiration addressed to young people from the world’s most influential people—advice on leadership, goal achievement, public service, and life journeys. Letters from Leaders is a beautifully designed book comprising nearly eighty letters from those who have done so much to shape our world today—from Muhammad Ali to four U.S. Presidents, Mikhail Gorbachev, King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and King Abdullah II of Jordan, and the Dalai Lama; from Cathie Black to T. Boone Pickens, Muriel Siebert, and Donald Trump. The letters, some as facsimile reproductions of handwritten originals, are each introduced with a biographical note by Dormann. As put so aptly by Dormann in his introduction, “All kings and queens, presidents, Nobel Laureates, chairmen and chairwomen, CEOs, and world leaders have one thing in common: They want what they have achieved to be useful and to be handed over to a younger generation. . . . The leaders in these pages have ‘lived’ and now offer their experiences as a treasure to ambitious and open minds—those who want to be something in life.”

Book excerpt: From Letters to Leaders offers practical strategies to address the problems that fraternity/sorority leaders, athletic teams, and other students organizations will face on college campuses today. This includes current issues such as hazing, sexual assaults, alcohol/drug abuse, mental health, diversity/equity/inclusion, self-worth, healthy masculinity, healthy relationships, as well as building the confidence and courage needed to bring change to your college campus. Whether you are interested in joining a fraternity/sorority as a new member, you are a seasoned member of the organization in a leadership role, you are an alumnus looking to mentor students, or you are a student affairs professional that is currently advising student organizations, this book provides a fresh look at some of the problems and the solutions to ensure a stronger future for fraternities and sororities while also protecting our members and our guests. This was written by a collection of educators in practice who work directly with fraternity and sorority members, national organizations, professional speakers, and campus leaders. The book presents an extensive selection of effective prevention-based practices, as well as relevant and timely topics, that all stakeholders-both on and off campus-can use immediately. These lessons learned within student organizations today will be extremely beneficial to the students as they graduate and enter the workforce. REVIEWS OF OUR BOOK: "Greek University's From Letters to Leaders is not afraid to take a deep dive into the issues fraternity and sorority members have to deal with in college, and how those issues can affect life beyond college. This book provides a holistic view of real, gritty and sometimes scary and uncomfortable experiences. They provide insight on how chapter members, advisors, and professional fraternity/sorority and student affairs staff can help members turn their fraternal experiences into leadership know-how. This book should be required reading for all those involved in Greek life." - Kim Bullington, Ph.D. Chief Departmental Advisor and Programs Manager Old Dominion University "I think you have a real winner with this book. It calls for fraternity and sorority leaders to look deeper into their experiences and practices of the day. The lessons within the chapters are easily applicable to the entire FSL process and will strengthen the experience for all members. In addition, the book tackles real issues facing this generation of students and how to overcome these barriers for a successful FSL experience. The book is clever and provides tangible leadership skills for any undergraduate FSL student." - Michael A. Smith Assistant Dean for Student Engagement Newberry College "The personal narratives and perspectives in this text can help chapter leaders discover new ways of thinking to develop themselves and their organization around issues that directly matter. This text can assist in making us better people as brothers and sisters to show up as authentically as possible and thrive." - Dr. Pietro Sasso Faculty Research Fellow Penn State Piazza Center for Fraternity & Sorority Research and Reform "From Letters to Leaders is a sensational combination of personal stories and expertise on a wide range of topics while believing fraternity and sorority can be the place for all things good.

Download or read book Leaders Eat Last written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller by the acclaimed, bestselling author of Start With Why and Together is Better. Now with an expanded chapter and appendix on leading millennials, based on Simon Sinek's viral video "Millenials in the workplace" (150+ million views). Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders create environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. In his work with organizations around the world, Simon Sinek noticed that some teams trust each other so deeply that they would literally put their lives on the line for each other. Other teams, no matter what incentives are offered, are doomed to infighting, fragmentation and failure. Why? The answer became clear during a conversation with a Marine Corps general. "Officers eat last," he said. Sinek watched as the most junior Marines ate first while the most senior Marines took their place at the back of the line. What's symbolic in the chow hall is deadly serious on the battlefield: Great leaders sacrifice their own comfort--even their own survival--for the good of those in their care. Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Book excerpt: "In 100-Day Leaders: Making a Difference Right Now in Every School, authors Robert Eaker and Douglas Reeves suggest a new way of thinking about leadership. Whether the project is large in scope, such as changing the orientation of a school to Professional Learning Communities, or smaller in scope, such as the development of formative assessments or new grading practices in a single semester, the 100-Day Leader brings a sense of daily accomplishment, feedback, mid-course corrections, focus, and encouragement to the organization--from the classroom to the board room. Eaker and Reeves offer an integrated approach in which the leader sees connections that may not be apparent to others in the organization. Curriculum, assessment, facilities, transportation, food service, teacher evaluation, board relationships and a host of other complex interactions are at the heart of the 100-Day Leader. This book offers a practical guide for leaders at every level to make immediate transformations in culture, practice, and performance"--
Download or read book Letters to a Young Leader written by Robert B. Denhardt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are interested in becoming a better leader, this book is a great place to start. Rather than using the familiar textbook approach, leadership expert Robert Denhardt offers practical lessons drawn from a lively year-long correspondence with two (fictional) former students about their experiences in leadership. The letters explore the deeply personal issues these and other young and emerging leaders are facing – what the skills and personal qualities are that you need for contemporary leadership, what will leadership mean to you and those you lead, and even why or why not you might want to become a leader. Along the way, the book speaks to the big picture, arguing that leadership today has been stripped of its historic contribution to creating meaningful human experience and has been reduced to a technical exercise in executive management. Based on his experience of teaching leadership to thousands of undergraduates, graduate students, and advanced practitioners, Denhardt speaks person-to-person with young leaders about their questions and their concerns as they enter into the somewhat flawed world of leadership today. The result is a call for a new leadership for a new generation. This book will be valuable to students enrolled in regular and executive degree programs in leadership, business management, public administration, nonprofit management, educational administration, and many other fields. It also speaks to young leaders out of school but committed to enhancing their leadership. Indeed, readers of all ages will learn lessons relevant to their own professional development.

Download or read book Letter to the Soviet Leaders written by Aleksandr Isaevich Solzhenit͡syn and published by New York : Harper & Row. This book was released on 1974 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1973, near the height of the Sino-Soviet conflict, Solzhenitsyn sent a Letter to the Soviet Leaders to a limited number of upper echelon Soviet officials. This work, which was published for the general public in the Western world a year after it was sent to its intended audience, beseeched the Soviet Union's authorities to Give them their ideology! Let the Chinese leaders glory in it for a while. And for that matter, let them shoulder the whole sackful of unfulfillable international obligations, let them grunt and heave and instruct humanity, and foot all the bills for their absurd economics (a million a day just to Cuba), and let them support terrorists and guerrillas in the Southern Hemisphere too if they like. The main source of the savage feuding between us will then melt away, a great many points of today's contention and conflict all over the world will also melt away, and a military clash will become a much remoter possibility and perhaps won't take place at all [author's emphasis]."--Wikipedia.
Download or read book Dear Chairwoman written by Syvliane Grant and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DEDICATED TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN BOARD LEADERSIn 2018, California passed a senate bill (SB 826) to require publicly held companies headquartered in CA to have at least one woman on their board by 2020. In 2020, Nasdaq proposed a mandate that would require listed companies to have at least two diverse board members with one member who identifies as female. Initiatives like these are helping advance gender parity on boards in many regions, not just the U.S. In late 2020, women held 22.6% of the board seats on the Russell 3000 for the first time, a 6.5 point jump over the past 4 years.Zooming out to the global scale, the picture is similarly improving. In 2020, about 23% of board seats globally were held by women, compared to 20% in 2018. Yet...at the time of this writing, 10% of large global companies do not have a single woman on their board. And the percent of women who chair boards is dramatically smaller. Among the largest 500 public U.S. companies by revenue the share of women who chaired boards remained stagnant at 7.4%. Notably, of those women who chair boards, few of them use the term Chairwoman in their bios or LinkedIn profiles-opting for monikers Chairman, or Board Chair, or occasionally Chairperson. This book features the extraordinary voices and stories of women leaders from around the world who have trailblazed to the board room, as letters to the next generation of women in business and government. With the salutation "Dear Chairwoman," these letters are infused with the energy to inspire young women to both pursue board governance early, and to claim the 'Chairwoman' title in taking the senior-most seat in the Board Room.
