Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword: “In this gem of a book, Tony López introduces us to cultural intelligence (CQ) and helps us understand how we go about developing leadership and organizational CQ. Importantly, Tony also explores the roles of the board and executive leadership teams in enabling and measuring CQ. Consider this book a guide, a road map, if you will, but don’t think of it as a recipe. Our personal CQ journeys are as individual as our fingerprints. The good news is this: CQ can be developed, improved, and used effectively; it can be powerful. I challenge all of us to embark on this journey and become high CQ leaders. Our teams, communities, and our families deserve nothing less.” Yvonne Garcia Global Head of Internal Communications, Chief of Staff to Chairman and CEO State Street Corporation “Tony Lopez unlocks the vault on creating positive, enduring, and real change in how leaders and boards of directors must think about diversity, and how they can become culturally intelligent to fully leverage DE&I strategically and competitively up and down their organizations to drive impressive business results.” Esther Aguilera President and CEO Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA) “I have known Tony for many years and when Tony speaks, people need to listen. This book is insightful, and it is right on point, especially in today’s world. Understanding cultural intelligence (CQ) is paramount to any business leader of an organization, at all levels, including the board of directors. An organization that does not embrace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) will not survive. DE&I and CQ is no longer a “nice to have” but an imperative.” Jose R. Rodriguez, partner (retired), KPMG LLP Independent director, Popular, Inc., Primoris Services Corp., and CareMax, Inc. “I have known Tony for long enough to know that when he writes, I read.

Download or read book The Legacy Leader written by Anthony Lopez and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These fundamentals are character, integrity, and ethics. When these are compromised, the leader will never achieve all that they could have. Learning the mechanics of leadership is important. Leaders need to know how to develop strategies based on a well-developed vision. They must understand communication, empowerment, delegation, and other fundamental principles of good leadership. However, what they must always keep in the forefront of their thinking is why they lead. What is their purpose in leading? Many of today's contemporary leadership books concern themselves with the mechanics of leadership. Few have given consideration to the true purpose of leadership. That is what this book is about. It's about helping leaders create a legacy they can be proud of. 'Tony gets to the heart and essence of leadership, boils it down to its fundamental elements, and creates an outline for daily application that simply makes sense. His writing provides us with evidence that leadership need not be complicated. Rather, he reminds us that grounded on the fundamental non-negotiable requirements of character, integrity, and credibility, leadership is about creating something of lasting value and worth. With that as the foundation, Tony presents compelling arguments for what he calls 'the mechanics of leadership,' and outlines specific ways that leaders must behave in order to reach their full potential. The principles outlined in this book serve as an enduring guide and a strong reminder of what we must all strive for as leaders.' —From the Foreword by Charles P. Garcia, Author of Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows Many of today's contemporary books on the subject of leadership concern themselves with the mechanics of leadership. Encyclopedic volumes have been written about how to lead, and about what to do, and when to do it. However, few leadership books have given serious consideration to the true purpose of leadership. That is what this book is all about: the purpose of leadership. It's about creating something of lasting value and worth. Learning the mechanics of leadership is important. Leaders must learn how to be effective. They need to know how to develop strategies based on a well-developed vision. They must understand communication, empowerment, delegation, and other fundamental principles of good leadership. These are all important skills for a leader to have if they are to be successful. However, what they must always keep in the forefront of their thinking is why they lead. What is their purpose in leading? In this book, Anthony López strives to provide readers the tools and strategies necessary to succeed in all that they do and to truly become a Legacy Leader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a bit of a lone wolf, who is stirred into leading through a crisis - like Wolverine? ?Or do you exhibit the overachieving prowess of a Superman? Or perhaps your experience makes you a bit more of a Father Figure, like the mighty Optimus Prime? Superheroes play a huge part in popular culture, and beyond. They inspire people and make them aspire to greatness. One reason they seem larger than life is their willingness to sacrifice and their impressive strength of character - which translates into remarkable leadership ability. ?Lead Like a Superhero goes in depth into the psyche of well-known Comic Book Icons, analyzing their leadership strengths and weaknesses, and what makes them tick. But here is the kicker: it will, through it's one of a kind lens, enable its readers to recognize the superhero leaders around them, or better yet... the one within. Sebastien Richard's deepest desire for Lead Like a Superhero is that it will inspire a younger generation of leaders to embrace the values modelled by the likes of Superman, Spiderman, or Wonder Woman to better lead their own lives and the lives of those around them. These values are timeless, universal, and they shape the character of the best men and women out there. Ditch the suit… Embrace the cape, and lead like a Superhero!

Book excerpt: Even now I can recognize a Saturday Road. I might be driving alone down the too familiar street on which I live or on a highway hundreds of miles away from home, never thinking of a Saturday Road. Without expecting it, I will be surprised to find one staring at me through the windshield, I'll notice the singing of the tires on the asphalt and the endless gray ahead of me will unexpectedly become silver ribbon, sparkling, shimmering, and beckoning to me in the sunlight. Houses and flowers by the side of the road will seem to come alive with color sharp and clear. I'll come over the crest of a hill and I can see forever the world spread out before. I'll get that familiar fluttery feeling inside. Perhaps I'll press the accelerator harder for just a moment. Then I'll slow it down again. I want this to last. I'll be aware of every nickel and dime in my pocket. I'll start to hum a happy little tune around the works. "Saturday Road, going to town." I envision variety store counters with interesting things on them. That's my Saturday Road: the road to Oz, Shangri-La, and the end of the rainbow. This magic road was the most intricate and exciting fantasy I ever devised as a child. It meant going to town where the change in my pockets would buy me an assortment of hair bows, little tea sets, or tiny celluloid dolls and ceramic what-knots to add to my collection. Or, it could mean that I was on my way by bus or train back to the foothills or northeast Alabama for a visit to the beloved place where I was born. Most of all, the Saturday Road was my escape from the economic poverty in which we lived during the early nineteen forties on the heels of what my parents called, The Great Depression. The Saturday Road was a state of mind, I looked for it everywhere I went and I invariably found it.
Download or read book The New Mutants written by Ramzi Fawaz and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How fantasy meets reality as popular culture evolves and ignites postwar gender, sexual, and race revolutions. 2017 The Association for the Studies of the Present Book Prize Finalist Mention, 2017 Lora Romero First Book Award Presented by the American Studies Association Winner of the 2012 CLAGS Fellowship Award for Best First Book Project in LGBT Studies In 1964, noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler described American youth as “new mutants,” social rebels severing their attachments to American culture to remake themselves in their own image. 1960s comic book creators, anticipating Fiedler, began to morph American superheroes from icons of nationalism and white masculinity into actual mutant outcasts, defined by their genetic difference from ordinary humanity. These powerful misfits and “freaks” soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America’s most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes. In The New Mutants, Ramzi Fawaz draws upon queer theory to tell the story of these monstrous fantasy figures and how they grapple with radical politics from Civil Rights and The New Left to Women’s and Gay Liberation Movements. Through a series of comic book case studies – including The Justice League of America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and The New Mutants –alongside late 20th century fan writing, cultural criticism, and political documents, Fawaz reveals how the American superhero modeled new forms of social belonging that counterculture youth would embrace in the 1960s and after. The New Mutants provides the first full-length study to consider the relationship between comic book fantasy and radical politics in the modern United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A wild ride . . . [and] a thoroughly enjoyable tale of religion, sex and money . . . this is not your grandfather’s detective novel.” —Tim McNulty, The Seattle Times New York Times–bestselling author Jim Harrison has won international acclaim for his masterful body of work, including Returning to Earth, Legends of the Fall, and over thirty books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. In this enthralling, witty, and expertly crafted novel, he follows one man on a hunt for an elusive cult founder, dubbed “The Great Leader.” On the verge of retirement, Detective Sunderson begins to investigate a hedonistic cult, which has set up camp near his home in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. At first, the self-declared Great Leader seems merely a harmless oddball, but as Sunderson and his sixteen-year-old sidekick dig deeper, they find him more intelligent and sinister than they realized. Recently divorced and frequently pickled in alcohol, Sunderson tracks his quarry from the woods of Michigan to a town in Arizona, filled with criminal border-crossers, and on to Nebraska, where the Great Leader’s most recent recruits have gathered to glorify his questionable religion. But Sunderson’s demons are also in pursuit of him. “Jim Harrison is unsurpassed at chronicling man’s relationship with wilderness . . . The Great Leader is hugely enjoyable.” —Tom Bissell, Outside Magazine
