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 Drawing upon an extensive range of sources, including much previously unpublished archival material, G. D. Sheffield seeks to answer this question by examining a crucial but previously neglected factor in the maintenance of the British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
Leadership In The Trenches is an honest look at the reality of what it takes to be an effective leader in today's business world-what it takes to succeed. Combining 40 years of business experience with essential research into organizational behavior and social psychology, Leadership in the Trenches explains the traits and temperament that a leader needs to be successful. It teaches these success principles through anecdotes, examples and clear explanations that people can understand and relate to, encouraging the reader and delivering a powerful challenge to excel. The book is designed to help entrepreneurs, managers and everyone else willing to take ownership of their lives to see the path to success and gain the tools to stay on course. So many businesses and managers fail to live up to their potential, or fail entirely. There has never been a stronger need for advice and guidance from those who did not fail, and the kind of solutions and direction found in Leadership In The Trenches. "Leadership" begins by painting a picture of the harsh reality of today's business environment, to remind readers of the price of failure. It then provides detailed explanations of the qualities, knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to not only succeed, but lead others to success, regardless of one's level in an organization. The book first prepares the reader by providing a clear definition of "Leadership"; what it means, and what it doesn't mean. From there it turns to the most important principles of organizational behavior and human psychology, explaining why people do (and don't do), covering topics of Emotional Intelligence, Constructive Resistance and Cognitive Dissonance; although technical sounding, the book greatly simplifies these topics. After building a foundational understanding of these principles through easy-to-understand examples and anecdotes from the author's personal experiences, the book expounds important management techniques. These chapters include: Setting Expectations (both for self and for others); How important Financial Reporting is in business; How to turn Negative Situations into Opportunities; and How to create Backup Plans and Exit Strategies--which most entrepreneurs and management never think about until it's too late. The final focus of the book is on appropriate managerial skills and attitudes. These topics cover: Trust and Interpersonal Dependency; Separation of Business and Personal Life; and Focusing on Abilities and Communication. Another recurring theme is that Awareness of the Self and the Thought Processes Of Others are key skills to being an effective leader. The final questions to the reader are: What is it that truly motivates people to become the best they can be? and What is your roadblock to success? The answer is "You."
