Book excerpt: Examples of leader actions and decisions—some humorous, some tragic—that will help guide you whether you are a military officer or a civilian in an office. John Chapman is a longstanding observer and chronicler of leadership events. In Muddy Boots Leadership, he describes 285 military leadership situations and the actions leaders have taken to meet the issue at hand. The leadership lessons learned and relearned by military leaders are applicable to a wide variety of organizations, both civil and military. Many are truly surprising; all are written with a certain “spark” that those in leadership positions will immediately understand. The text is augmented with some truly classic sidebars. “When officers are being asked to ‘do everything with nothing,’ it costs a leader nothing but muddy boots to walk with them—and it can inspire extraordinary effort . . . It doesn’t take money to get your boots muddy and lead by example. It does take courage and effort.” —Officer.com

Download or read book Bipolar General written by Gregg F. Martin and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maj. Gen. Gregg Martin cut a striking figure in the Army: athletic, quick witted, devout, and studious, he was a natural leader. Thanks to his engineering and leadership knowhow, Martin was chosen to lead the thousands of combat engineers who paved the way for 100,000 Army troops to battle their way to Baghdad in 2003. Martin was astonishing to watch as he led this effort, his mind laser focused and body vibrating with energy. He made quick decisions, often anticipating and solving problems before orders came down. Only years later would he learn how the pressure of organizing dozens of simultaneous life-or-death missions each day altered the biochemistry of his brain. Since adolescence he’d had what psychiatrists call a ‘hyperthymic personality’ – an exceptionally positive, energetic, and can-do disposition. But the Iraq War triggered what military and Veterans Administration psychiatrists ultimately diagnosed as late-onset bipolar disorder, a chemical imbalance that sends sufferers whipsawing between grandiose imaginings and suicidal depressions. His increasing erratic behavior led to his forced resignation as president of the National Defense University and ended his military career. Bipolar General offers a candid account of Martin’s personal journey with undiagnosed mental illness as he rose through the ranks of the U.S. Army. The author provides a first-hand look at the various treatments available for bipolar disorder ranging from powerful medications to electroconvulsive therapy. He discusses why his condition went undiagnosed for so long and explores what can be done both within and outside the armed forces to diagnose and treat mental illness. Bipolar General should be of value to those with mental illness and to the communities of family, friends, and caregivers surrounding them.

Book excerpt: Book Description: Effective leadership is a formidable weapon and shield for a subjugated people. Regardless of our opponents' resources, we can outthink, outwork and outmaneuver them, and effective leadership is an important part of this winning recipe. ACCORDING TO THE AUTHOR: "I have written this book to help provide a basic and comprehensive understanding of community organizing and grassroots leadership to those who genuinely seek it and need it. This book is not a step-by-step leadership manual. Nor is it simply a huge list of leadership dos and don'ts. I combine leadership philosophy and theory, some helpful tips and suggestions about community organizing, and some discussions of how to execute certain important tasks pertaining to leadership and organizing. My hope is that those of you who hold office in a Black organization will require fellow officers and members of your group to read this book and take my upcoming online leadership course as part of your political education/leadership training component." _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Agyei Tyehimba is an educator, author, and community organizer born and raised in Harlem, New York.

Download or read book The Leader s Bookshelf written by Martin Cohen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Which books inspired some of the world’s most successful people – and why? Come on a journey of literary exploration and find out how books can impact your life. It turns out that the life stories of many famous people start out with a particular book that inspired them when young. Here, Martin Cohen explores the lives of some remarkable people – inventors, scientists, business gurus and political leaders – and the books that have challenged, inspired, and influenced them. And so exploring the ideas, dreams and inspirations that this diverse group shared is at the heart of this book too. Inspiration, in particular, is the thread that ties together individuals with characters and backgrounds as diverse as Jane Goodall and Barack Obama, Malcolm X and Judge Clarence Thomas, Oprah Winfrey and Malala Yousafzai, Rachel Carson and Frans Lanting. Often, behind many tales of achievement lies much more than a collection of smart tactics. There are beliefs and values that guide many a grand strategy, too. And the strategies are often very different, which if you think about it, shouldn’t come as a surprise. If there really were just one recipe for success, well, everyone would be using it already. No, the thing that unifies these disparate approaches is that they all provided for their owners a kind of conceptual grid onto which a wide range of day-to-day creative, scientific, or business practices are able to develop and grow. For Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the founders of Google, for example, the grid was Charles Darwin’s notions of natural mutation and iteration. With Henry Ford, the man who pioneered the method of the assembly line, the grid was an obscure, ethereal theory of life as a sequence of reincarnations. And for both Oprah Winfrey and Steve Jobs, the grid was existentialist ideas about the pursuit of authenticity. In all these cases, a grand, indeed often philosophical, theory meshed perfectly with a practical business strategy. All of these remarkable people, and the books that most inspired them, are explored in this book.
Download or read book Management Meets Nietzsche written by Steffen Reckert and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-05-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking book, the author examines the fascinating story of how one of the greatest philosophers of all time, Nietzsche, brought down a value system in 1884, and what we can learn from it to live up to the buzzword "disruptive". Through the eyes of Nietzsche's Zarathustra, a prominent figure in philosophical scholarship, readers are taken on a journey to discover how the requirements for a great leader have changed over the last 140 years. Drawing on scientific studies, personal experiences, and other management literature, the book offers practical insights on how anyone can become a great leader, regardless of their background, gender, or other characteristics, if they have a philosophy of work. With a mix of long-forgotten virtues, disruptive approaches, and a glimpse into the future of work, this book challenges traditional management concepts and offers a fresh perspective on what it means to be a great leader. The author cleverly translates Nietzsche's speeches into today's world of management culture, highlighting the significant influence that his teachings have on much of the literature today. Part 1 and 2 of Nietzsche's masterpiece are covered in this book, taking readers on a rocky road to understanding what it takes to become a truly great leader. With entertaining and at times shocking examples drawn from the author's career, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to embrace disruptive thinking and leadership in the modern age.
