When the stars begin to fall : overcoming racism and renewing the promise of America / by Johnson, Theodore R.,III(Theodore Roosevelt),author.;
Includes bibliographical resources and index.Part I: The challenge for America. The primary threat to America ; The veiled threats exposed -- Part II: American, but black: lessons for national solidarity. Superlative citizenship ; Inclusion trickles down ; Black solidarity -- A framework for national solidarity. Finding civil religion ; Racism is a crime of the state ; Solidarity is not colorblind -- Part IV: A path toward national solidarity. National solidarity as the right response to racism.""Racism is an existential threat to America," Theodore R. Johnson declares at the start of his profound and exhilarating book. It is a refutation of the American Promise enshrined in our Constitution that all men and women are inherently equal. And yet racism continues to corrode our society. If we cannot overcome it, Johnson argues, while the United States will remain as a geopolitical entity, the promise that made America unique on Earth will have died. When the Stars Begin to Fall makes a compelling, ambitious case for a pathway to the national solidarity necessary to mitigate racism. Weaving memories of his own and his family's multi-generational experiences with racism, alongside strands of history, into his elegant narrative, Johnson posits that a blueprint for national solidarity can be found in the exceptional citizenship long practiced in Black America. Understanding that racism is a structural crime of the state, he argues that overcoming it requires us to recognize that a color-conscious society--not a color-blind one--is the true fulfillment of the American Promise. Fueled by Johnson's ultimate faith in the American project, grounded in his family's longstanding optimism and his own military service, When the Stars Begin to Fall is an urgent call to undertake the process of overcoming what has long seemed intractable"--Amazon.

Mind shift / by McManus, Erwin Raphael,author.(CARDINAL)346080;
Mind shift #0: change your mind -- Mind shift #1: it's all about people -- Mind shift #2: you don't need an audience -- Mind shift #3: you can't take everyone with you -- Mind shift #4: they won't get it until you do it -- Mind shift #5: you are your own ceiling -- Mind shift #6: talent is a hallucinogen -- Mind shift #7: no one knows what they are doing -- Mind shift #8 bitterness, and other poisons that will kill you -- Mind shift #9: you find what you are -- Mind shift #10: be average (at almost everything) -- Mind shift #11: success weighs more than failure -- Mind shift #12: there is no such thing as too much of a good thing."Mental toughness, mental clarity, and mental health all have one thing in common: The journey begins in your mind. In this radical guide, the award-winning author of The Last Arrow illuminates a surprising path toward personal fulfillment and optimal performance. Throughout his thirty years of work as a mindset expert and leadership coach, Erwin Raphael McManus has been obsessed with these questions: Why do some people succeed despite having all the odds stacked against them? How do others achieve the unthinkable, only to watch their lives slip away? Are there mental structures for failure and success? McManus has come to realize that too many of us have "near-life" experiences. We almost pursue our dreams. We almost make the decision that changes everything. We are always one choice away. If we want to live without regret, we need to make a mind shift-trading beliefs that limit our potential for ones that help us move toward optimal performance and pursue the success of being fully alive. We must move from a life of obligation to a life of intention. In Mind Shift, McManus brings together twelve mental frameworks that have helped some of the most accomplished people on earth create internal structures of success. Sharing experiences from entrepreneurs, artists, professional athletes, and his own career, McManus shows us how to transform our thinking-and, in turn, transform our lives."--

Greek revival America / by Kennedy, Roger G.(CARDINAL)164344; Hall, John M.(CARDINAL)326285;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 423-444) and index.A new start -- Reconnaissance of the terrain -- The myth of classical emulation -- The political economy of the Greek revival -- The world of the founders -- The age of Jackson and Biddle -- A case study : the forest and Milford -- Reviving Greece -- The birth of the Greek revival -- A second case study : the interior -- The psychology of the interior : American and European revivalists -- The decline of the Greek revival -- A hasty history of the later Renaissance -- Appendices."In 1826, as the United States celebrated its fiftieth birthday and bade farewell to the last of its founding fathers, a new American consciousness was being born - one characterized by optimism, self-assurance, and affluence. This forward-looking attitude was the very embodiment of the American Greek Revival, a movement that arose from a state of mind and a style of life, and one that was most publicly expressed through architecture." "In Greek Revival America, Roger Kennedy takes a long, loving look at the style of living and governing fostered by the American Greek Revival, a period that reached full flower in the 1820s and flourished until its spirit was crushed by the tragedy and pessimism of the Civil War. In this full-scale study of the era, the author uses architecture as a springboard to launch into the realm of social history, inviting the reader to examine the multifaceted panorama of forces that created the underpinnings of this style." "For example, the text shows why Greek-style buildings could not have become popular in this country any earlier - even though they were de rigueur in much of Europe more than a half-century before. From a political perspective, the author examines the effect the Jackson-Biddle enmity had on American Free Classicism. And the book even takes account of the role played by mid-century shifts in psychology and sexual attitudes in defining the structural dictates of the American Greek Revival."--Jacket.

Work without jobs : how to reboot your organization's work operating system / by Jesuthasan, Ravin,1968-author.; Boudreau, John W.,author.(CARDINAL)195053;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Series Foreword -- Introduction : Work without Jobs Is the New Work Operating System -- Work as Deconstructed Job Elements versus Stable Jobs -- Work Automation Deconstructed : Not Replacing Jobs with Automation but Optimizing Task-Level Combinations of Humans and Automation -- Work Arrangements beyond Employment : A Democratized Work Ecosystem beyond the Fixed Traditional Organizational Boundary -- Deconstructed Workers : Seeing the Whole Person through Skills/Capabilities versus Simply "Jobholders" -- Perpetually Reinventing Deconstructed Work -- Management, Leadership, and Deconstructed Work Coordination : Collaborative Hubs, Teams, Projects, and Agile Work Innovation versus Hierarchy, Structure, Jobs, and Stable Authority -- The New Work Operating System beyond the Organization -- Conclusions and Next StepsWork is traditionally understood as a "job," and workers as "jobholders." Jobs are structured by titles, hierarchies, and qualifications. In Work without Jobs, a Wall Street Journal bestseller, Ravin Jesuthasan and John Boudreau propose a radically new way of looking at work. They describe a new "work operating system" that deconstructs jobs into their component parts and reconstructs these components into more optimal combinations that reflect the skills and abilities of individual workers. In a new normal of rapidly accelerating automation, demands for organizational agility, efforts to increase diversity, and the emergence of alternative work arrangements, the old system based on jobs and jobholders is cumbersome and ungainly. Jesuthasan and Boudreau's new system lays out a roadmap for the future of work. Work without Jobs presents real-world cases that show how leading organizations are embracing work deconstruction and reinvention. For example, when a robot, chatbot, or artificial intelligence takes over parts of a job while a human worker continues to do other parts, what is the "job"? DHL found some answers when it deployed social robotics at its distribution centers. Meanwhile, the biotechnology company Genentech deconstructed jobs to increase flexibility, worker engagement, and retention. Other organizations achieved agility with internal talent marketplaces, worker exchanges, freelancers, crowdsourcing, and partnerships. It's time for organizations to reboot their work operating system, and Work without Jobs offers an essential guide for doing so. -- Provided by publisher."A practical guide for business leaders to rethink work so that it is organized around "tasks" more than "jobs.""--

People before tech : the importance of psychological safety and teamwork in the digital age / by Blomstrom, Duena,Author(DLC)no2021070711;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-246) and index.A fascinating guide for business leaders looking to ensure that their teams remain productive and engaged in the digital era. Businesses across all sectors now realize that, if they intend on staying competitive in the 21st century, then they must embrace new innovative technologies such as AI, automation and digital platforms. But many business leaders have become too focused upon digital transformation, leading them to neglect other vital elements of their organization. Built upon fascinating research and an international array of case studies, People Before Tech is an incisive examination of how organizations--through their digital transformations--become stranded with optimized teams and disenfranchised employees. As new technologies are introduced, teams and individual employees are often taken for granted - the uniquely human benefits that arise from a well-structured, collaborative team become neglected, and the employees themselves become unmotivated and overly dependent upon the technical, quantifiable benefits of technology. In People Before Tech, Duena Blomstrom shines new light upon the importance and potential of teams in modern organizations. The book analyzes the benefits of unique methods of working (such as "Agile") and explores how academic concepts such as "psychological safety" can boost employees' confidence and ability to work effectively and intuitively within teams. Duena highlights that it is vital not just to implement technology, but also to integrate it into the existing organizational culture and structure, before providing practical guidance and advice on how business leaders and HR professionals can heighten efficiency and effectiveness of workplace teams through collaborative and innovative initiatives.
