Download or read book Workplace Warrior written by Jordan Goldrich and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a leader who has been called abrasive, aggressive, or even a bully? This book is written for—rather than about—you. You have probably noticed that many, if not most authors and speakers who deal with this subject refer to leaders like you with demeaning names, because they think you need to be more respectful. Jordan Goldrich challenges this irony—or perhaps hypocrisy—by recognizing that, in reality, you possess a warrior spirit that is crucial to the success of organizations in our current VUCA environment (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity). Goldrich acknowledges that (just like himself) these leaders are imperfect human beings whose leadership or communication styles can sometimes create a negative impact. But he also acknowledges an important truth—that they bring unique value to the workplace and to society. His challenge to you, in this book, is to become a better leader by measuring yourself against the greatest warriors on the planet: the Navy SEALs, the Green Berets, and the rest of the special operations community—because you have something in common with them. Like you, these heroes have an uncommon desire to succeed, are committed to taking charge, and are focused on accomplishing the mission. In addition, they commit to humbly serve and to place the welfare and security of others before their own. Goldrich shows you how to do the same. Some of the author’s advice revolves around the clever use of the phrase, “The Least You Can Do.” If you are interested in doing the least you can do to be both authentic and protect yourself in a politically correct, over-protective world, you will find what you need in Workplace Warrior. If, on the other hand, you want to do the least you can do in the sense that it is the right thing to do, you will find resources to authentically take your leadership to a higher level. Human resources executives, executive coaches, and people who work with and for leaders labeled as abrasive or bullies will find a unique perspective on these leaders’ motivations and mindsets—and will then be able to do their part in building collaborative relationships with their colleagues.

Download or read book Managing Diversity in the Military written by Daniel P. McDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book examines the management of diversity and inclusion in the military. Owing to the rise of asymmetric warfare, a shift in demographics and labor shortfalls, the US Department of Defense (DoD) has prioritized diversity and inclusion in its workforce management philosophy. In pursuing this objective, it must ensure the attractiveness of a military career by providing an inclusive environment for all personnel (active and reserve military, civilian, and contractors) to reach their potential and maximize their contributions to the organization. Research and practice alike provide substantial evidence of the benefits associated with diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Diversity and inclusion programs are more strategic in focus than equal opportunity programs and strive to capitalize on the strengths of the workforce, while minimizing the weaknesses that inhibit optimal organizational performance. This new book provides vital clarification on these distinct concepts, in addition to offering concrete best practices for the successful management of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Written by scholars and practitioners, each chapter addresses major areas, raises crucial issues, and comments on future trends concerning diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The book will be of great interest to students of military studies, war and conflict studies, business management/HRM, psychology and politics in general, as well as to military professionals and leaders.
Download or read book Courage Goes to Work written by Bill Treasurer and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hardest part of a manager's job isn't staying organized, meeting deliverable dates, or staying on budget. It's dealing with people who are too comfortable doing things the way they've always been done and too afraid to do things differently—workers who are, as author Bill Treasurer puts it, too “comfeartable.” Such workers fail to exert themselves any more than they have to, equating “just enough” with good enough. By avoiding even mild challenges, these workers thwart forward progress and make their businesses dangerously safe. To combat this affliction, Treasurer proposes a bold antidote: courage. In Courage Goes to Work, he lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step process that treats courage as a skill that can be developed and strengthened. He Treasurer shows how managers can build workplace courage by modeling courageous behavior themselves, creating an environment where people feel safe taking chances and helping workers deal with fear. To make the concept of courage more concrete, Treasurer identifies what he calls the Three Buckets of Courage: Try Courage, having the guts to take initiative; Trust Courage, being willing to follow the lead of others; and Tell Courage, being honest and assertive with coworkers and bosses. He illustrates each with a variety of vivid real-world examples and offers proven practices for helping your workers keep each bucket full. Aristotle said that courage is the first virtue because it makes all other virtues possible. It's as true in business as it is in life. With more courage, workers gain the necessary confidence to take on harder projects, embrace company changes with more enthusiasm, and extend themselves in ways that will benefit their careers and their company. Courage Goes to Work is the first book to take a systematic approach to developing a vital but overlooked component of business success.

Download or read book A Warrior in the Workplace written by Sharon Surratt Robbs and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of business professionals today spend more hours in the workplace than in any other place. Many leaders have even put the workplace before their families, health, and above own happiness. Being a leader in the workplace of all places requires patience, passion, and perseverance. Leadership can be rewarding yet challenging. It is not for the faint at heart. A Warrior in the Workplace is my personal testimony and journey in leadership. I discuss with readers the mistakes that I made, the lessons that I learned, and the strategies that I used in the workplace while leading others. Not everyone can lead and that's okay. Followers are leaders in training and are a valuable asset to the workplace. The workplace trained me for battle. As a leader, I had to learn how to fight God's way and not in my own strength. God requires those of us whom He has called and chosen for leadership to lead with a servant's heart and in a spirit of excellence. As a result, there is a certain mentality, skill set, and training that we must have. We must be WARRIORS. The workplace is stressing many out, robbing many of joy and peace and is dictating the direction in which our lives are going. NO MORE! In this book, I want every leader around the world to know that no matter what you have been through or may be going through, God sees you and He is with you! You may be at the point of giving up, passed over time and time again for a promotion, devalued, unappreciated, tired and worn out. You could even be a person that aspires to be a leader in the workplace and you're waiting on the right opportunity to present itself. Perhaps you are a leader out there who blew it and you need and desire a second chance. If any of this describes you, this book is for you. Leaders are not perfect. Leaders make mistakes. Let's be honest, people in the workplace can be problematic, self-centered, and difficult to deal with. In this book, I will be transparent about the things that I've encountered, seen, and overcame. I made it. i survived and guess what? You can and will too.
