Book Description
Why, despite the appalling conditions in the trenches of the Western Front, was the British army almost untouched by major mutiny during the First World War? Drawing upon an extensive range of sources, including much previously unpublished archival material, G. D. Sheffield seeks to answer this question by examining a crucial but previously neglected factor in the maintenance of the British army's morale in the First World War: the relationship between the regimental officer and the ordinary soldier.

Book Description
This book shares the learnings and perspectives of two pioneer women who waded the many challenges posed by multiculturalism and gender in one of the corporate environments more rigid and traditional in the business world: the energy sector in the Middle East. How they managed to create a growth space for themselves and their teams is a story of professional and personal tenacity, shaping a privileged perspective that enabled them to understand the root causes of barriers, as well as envision plausible solutions. They propose in the book not only their vision, but a remarkable collection of unfiltered interviews to influential leaders in the energy sector, to complete a vision of what is key to achieve success when leading or consulting in a corporate environment. The book offers a compilation of very personal approaches to professionalism, resilience, work, and ultimately, success, from within and outside the ranks of highly regarded corporations in the energy sector. The ultimate aim is that of triggering a self-reflection in the readers, grounded on the learnings and perspectives of those who made it to the highest roles of one of the less understood business environments.

Book Description
Middle management is tough. Often the leaders above us do not think about our development or the development of those we lead. Instead, they focus on the bottom line and outcomes, and as a result the customer service and decisions they make are often at the expense of their own employees. Regardless of whether or not resources are available, the culture exudes 'do more with less.' What is a middle manager to do? Rather than throw your arms up in despair, influence what you can! Good leadership starts with being a good leader to yourself, and often that is the hardest place to start. Karen Hauschild has spent most of her professional life working in the trenches, so she has first-hand knowledge and experience navigating this all too familiar tug of war middle management deals with. In this must-read book, Hauschild shares the wisdom of her experience and offers real-world, actionable strategies for budding, new, or current middle managers. Ultimately, no matter what shape your team is currently in, you have the authority to do something about it. Leadership in the Trenches will give you the hope and confidence you need to grow as a leader with specific strategies you can immediately employ.

Book Description
In today's world being a leader has often been associated with a title or position. However, I was once told by the Dean of Regent University that "leadership is a posture, not a position." With this being said, this book is intended to assist new or aspiring leaders to understand the responsibility of being a leader and offer a framework of development topics to assist in maximizing their leadership potential. The contents offer a map for self-development, knowledge, and understanding of the need to really 'get on the ground' and get to know one's team, what they do, who they are and how one's decisions as a leader affect them- both personally and professionally. To be the most efficient and influential leader, one must look inside to one's core and determine what kind of leader they want to be and work from the inside out. Without a solid foundation in character, the ability to influence others and truly make a difference will diminish. How a leader communicates, shares knowledge and models wanted behaviors strongly influences those around them. As such, attaining self-awareness and being willing to grow is essential. Often times aspiring or new leaders are so focused on the skills of the profession, they do not understand the need for character development until they begin to fail as leaders. By taking steps to understand what leadership truly is and gaining a perspective of how to approach it, leaders can build a strong foundation for influence and positive change.

Book Description
What do you do when the biggest threat to your project is your boss? It's not that your boss is out to get you. In fact, bosses generally mean well. But clueless leadership from a well-intentioned boss can sometimes cause more damage than a criminal mastermind tying your project to the railroad tracks. The Unwritten Rules of Managing Up provides refreshingly practical and candid insight into the best practices and techniques that project managers have successfully used for decades to manage a wide variety of senior-level stakeholders—ranging from perfectly competent and pleasant to downright dysfunctional and inept. While managing up is an incredibly valuable skill for virtually any type of boss (not just the difficult ones), the book includes recommendations for managing six particularly challenging—and common—types of senior leaders. They are the bombastic Tornado, who takes over meetings without realizing it; the Wishful Thinker, who regularly asks the impossible; the Clueless Chameleon, who can't quite decide what he or she really wants (but still holds you responsible for delivering it); the MIA Boss, who is just not around enough; the Meddlesome Micromanager, who hovers and insists you complete a task his or her way; and the Naked Emperor, who falls in love with his or her own crazy ideas. Brownlee also offers basic techniques to use with any boss, even a great one. This book is not just for professionals seeking to enhance their workplace effectiveness but also for senior leaders interested in addressing their blind spots and coaching others toward a more collaborative, results-focused leadership approach.
