Download or read book Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders written by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look around your office. Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men. In this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people--especially competent women--to advance? Marshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders. In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism. In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job. When competent women--and men who don't fit the stereotype--are unfairly overlooked, we all suffer the consequences. The result is a deeply flawed system that rewards arrogance rather than humility, and loudness rather than wisdom. There is a better way. With clarity and verve, Chamorro-Premuzic shows us what it really takes to lead and how new systems and processes can help us put the right people in charge.
Download or read book Too Many Men written by Lily Brett and published by Picador Australia. This book was released on 2000 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth Rothwax, a successful woman with her own business, Rothwax Correspondence, can find order and meaning in writing words for other people--condolence letters, thank-you letters, even you-were-great-in-bed letters. But as the daughter of Edek Rothwax, an Auschwitz survivor with a somewhat idiosyncratic approach to the English language, Ruth can find no words to understand the loss of her family experienced during World War II. Ruth is obsessed with the idea of returning to Poland with her father, but she doesn't quite understand why she feels this so intensely. To make sense of her family's past, yes. To visit the places where her beloved mother and father lived and almost died, certainly. But she knows there's more to this trip. By facing Poland, and the past, she can finally confront her own future.
Download or read book Too Many Men on the Ice written by John G. Robertson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entering the 1978-1979 season, the Boston Bruins had been one of the best teams in the National Hockey League for more than a decade. Yet they could not shake the postseason jinx the Montreal Canadiens held over them--the Habs had ousted them in 13 consecutive playoff series going back to 1940s. The Bruins wanted one more shot at their nemeses, after coming up short in both the 1977 and 1978 Stanley Cup finals. They got their chance in the semifinal round. Led by the colorful but embattled coach Don Cherry, the underdog Bruins played seven heart-stopping games. Victory seemed within their grasp but was snatched away with an untimely penalty in the final minutes of game seven. The author looks back at the season from opening night at Boston Garden to the catastrophic conclusion at the Montreal Forum, with detailed accounts of the semifinal games and a post-mortem of the infamous bench penalty.
Download or read book Why does it seem like so many men and women are in competition and playing games with each other written by TJ Clemons and published by TJ Clemons. This book was released on with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a very high probability that men and women may not smoothly get along based on the fact that they have a very different type of thought process. Then you start adding other factors and it can easily become a recipe for disaster. The way each of them handles their finances is a perfect example of how a disagreement can occur. We are different on many other levels including hormonal and emotional. Men are often problem solvers while women are often nurturers. These dynamics are small but they can make a big difference in many aspects of life. For example men often are expected to take on the role as a financial provider while women are often expecting to instinctually take on the caregiving roles of wives and mothers. Then you add on the outside pressures of society and your loving home can quickly turn into a battle ground of the sexes. It can even become even more complicated based on the various gender mixture and make up in the balance of every individual household. This can easily lead to a balance of power of one gender over the other making one more dominant over the other in the daily decision making aspects of their living conditions. Now that I have your attention I am ready to talk about this clash of the titans as men and women enter into the dating and relationship realm of their lives. The struggle for dominance naturally occurs in the process of self- preservation in the evolution of mankind as we continue into adult situations. I definitely enjoyed the direction that writing this literary work of art set me in. Enjoy the twists and various angles that this conversation takes. It definitely took a left turn into the realm of the reality of a very toxic real life relationship that we examine from the inside out and dissect it.
Download or read book An International Psychology of Men written by Chris Blazina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-19 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is the first to provide a contextual understanding of the clinical issues that affect men and masculinity across a wide range of cultural and national settings. It demonstrates that gender can no longer be viewed as an isolated characteristic; in an era of increased globalization, mental health professionals need to take ethnic and cultural issues into account to provide adequate care for male patients. Numerous international perspectives are offered by the contributing authors, authorities from countries such as Australia, Argentina, Denmark, Canada, India, Ireland, and South Africa, on theoretical and clinical innovations for working with men. Their chapters also offer insight into the socio-cultural contexts for counseling men in and from their respective countries by exploring the ways in which "being a man" is socially defined, what unique challenges men face, and how these challenges can be negotiated within their specific cultural settings. Topics addressed will include boyhood notions of manhood, relationship concerns and power, fatherhood, and men’s body image across the life span. This text will ultimately enable mental health practitioners to have a better understanding of how to work more effectively with male clients.

Download or read book Older Men s Lives written by Edward H. Thompson (Jr.) and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-06-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive exploration on the subject of older men, Older Men's Lives offers a multidisciplinary portrait of men and their concerns in later life. Using both a life-course and gendered perspective, the contributors to this collection of original articles point out that the image and self-image of men are continuously reconstructed over the life cycle. They examine older men's position in society and the changes wrought in their status and roles over time. Their relationship with their spouses, children, grandchildren, and friends are also explored, as are policy implications of a gendered, life-cycle view of masculinity. This volume also discusses faith development in older men, masculinity identity from work to retirement, older men's sexuality, and older men's friendship patterns. Older Men's Lives will be of interest to professionals and students interested in gender, men's studies, gerontology, and sociology. "This book begins to remedy the lack of information and provides data and research on aging men. . . .The strength of this book is the specificity of its focus. By focusing solely on male concerns the book is able to identify issues in the male aging process and discuss them on their own terms rather than simply as a contrast to females." --Clinical Gerontologist
