Download or read book Ping Pong Leadership written by Shina Dada-Daodu and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is not a title privileged solely for the rich, famous or lucky people in the world. It is a position acquired once an individual takes ownership of their life, accountability for their actions and actively work at shifting their mindset. How does one embody the skillset to reach leadership status? Ping Pong Leadership explains the impact us humans have on each other as we make genuine connections and exchanges of life experiences. The back and forth ping pong-like exchanges unveils the misbelief that our life struggles are uniquely our own. Ping Pong Leadership is a way of individuals coming together as a community to engage and learn from each other's different walks of life. Learning different measures of discipline and knowledge from one another, allows us to examine our discipline and knowledge of self, own what we have or lack and push forward to lead ourselves on our focused purposeful journeys. Whether you seek leadership in your work, home or relational life, Ping Pong Leadership reminds us that we are all connected, the work begins within and our goals are just a mindset shift away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for college leaders at all levels as well as for trustees, this book engages the reader, via narrative and analysis, with the reflective and the practical knowledge essential to a constructive legacy. Leaders of colleges and universities hold in trust an enterprise of complex mission, governance, and outcome. Most will take office with accompanying media celebration of their past records and future promise. Each will exit with a legacy. A few will leave behind tragic legacies of defeated spirits, corrupted organizations, and shameful ethical records. In Leadership Legacy Moments, the author reflects upon the ideas, skills, and values that are essential to effective leadership so that a leader leaves behind a student body with great promise, a set of accomplishments achieved in concert with faculty and staff, and an institutional culture that inspires curiosity, courage, and compassion. Professor Bogue illustrates how ideas and values are linked in the stewardship of one of our nation's premier organizational enterprises. The book is about constructing a leadership legacy that is both effective and ethical.

Download or read book Leadership in the U S Senate written by Colton C. Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike leadership in the House of Representatives, the nature of Senate leadership continues to remain a mystery to so many. Due to the absence of an "operator’s manual," leaders have had to use their individual skills, intelligence, and personalities to lead the Senate, which means they each have had their own unique leadership style. How have Senate majority leaders advanced their agendas in this traditionally egalitarian institution, a chamber like no other legislative body, where they must balance the rights of 99 independent senators with the collective needs of their party? Featuring a foreword by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Leadership in the U.S. Senate offers students a comprehensive and contemporary examination of three different eras in the evolution of the Senate. Collectively, contributions written by those who have served the senators offer insight into how different Senate leaders have operated, chronicle changes in Senate life over the past four decades, and describe how they have changed the institution. The chapters cover: How leadership styles are shaped by both individualism and party goals Eight biographical perspectives from Senator Howard Baker (R-TN) to Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) The political context of the Senate during which the respective majority leader served Individual leadership style and performance in office Contributions individuals made to the institution while serving as majority leaders This book paves the way for political scientists and others to examine the topic of Senate leadership.
