Leadership is language : the hidden power of what you say, and what you don't / by Marquet, L. David,author.(CARDINAL)602873;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Losing El Faro -- The new playbook -- Exiting redwork: control the clock -- Into the bluework: collaborate -- Leaving bluework behind: commit -- The end of redwork: complete -- Completing the cycle: improve -- The enabling play: connect -- Applying the redwork-bluework principles in workplace situations -- The red-blue operating system -- Saving El Faro."From the acclaimed author of Turn the Ship Around!, former US Navy Captain David Marquet, comes a radical new playbook for empowering your team to make better decisions and take greater ownership. You might imagine that an effective leader is someone who makes quick, intelligent decisions, gives inspiring speeches, and issues clear orders to their team so they can execute a plan to achieve your organization's goals. Unfortunately, David Marquet argues, that's an outdated model of leadership that just doesn't work anymore. As a leader in today's networked, information-dense business climate, you don't have full visibility into your organization or the ground reality of your operating environment. In order to harness the eyes, ears, and minds of your people, you need to foster a climate of collaborative experimentation that encourages people to speak up when they notice problems and work together to identify and test solutions. Too many leaders fall in love with the sound of their own voice, and wind up dictating plans and digging in their heels when problems begin to emerge. Even when you want to be a more collaborative leader, you can undermine your own efforts by defaulting to command-and-control language we've inherited from the industrial era. It's time to ditch the industrial age playbook of leadership. In Leadership is Language, you'll learn how choosing your words can dramatically improve decision-making and execution on your team. Marquet outlines six plays for all leaders, anchored in how you use language: Control the clock, don't obey the clock: Pre-plan decision points and give your people the tools they need to hit pause on a plan of action if they notice something wrong. Collaborate, don't coerce: As the leader, you should be the last one to offer your opinion. Rather than locking your team into binary responses ("Is this a good plan?"), allow them to answer on a scale ("How confident are you about this plan?") Commit, don't comply: Rather than expect your team to comply with specific directions, explain your overall goals, and get their commitment to achieving it one piece at a time. Complete, not continue: If every day feels like a repetition of the last, you're doing something wrong. Articulate concrete plans with a start and end date to align your team. Improve, don't prove: Ask your people to improve on plans and processes, rather than prove that they can meet fixed goals or deadlines. You'll face fewer cut corners and better long-term results. Connect, don't conform: Flatten hierarchies in your organization and connect with your people to encourage them to contribute to decision-making. In his last book, Turn the Ship Around!, Marquet told the incredible story of abandoning command-and-control leadership on his submarine and empowering his crew to turn the worst performing submarine to the best performer in the fleet. Now, with Leadership is Language he gives businesspeople the tools they need to achieve such transformational leadership in their organizations."--

Trust yourself : stop overthinking and channel your emotions for success at work / by Wilding, Melody J.,author;

Includes bibliographical referencesPart I. Build self-awareness : Are you a sensitive striver? ; Overcome the honor roll hangover ; Give yourself permission -- Part II. Tame self-sabotage.

Show up as your full self ; Aim your ambition ; Find the right fit -- Part IV. Sustain self-growth : Take smart risks ; Speak up and stand your ground ; Bounce back from setbacks"TRUST YOURSELF: Stop Overthinking, Master Your Emotions, and Channel Your Ambition for Success Career coach Melody Wilding has worked with hundreds of ambitious women and noticed something she calls an "Honor Roll Hangover": her clients are all former high-achieving students whose desire to conform to others' definitions of success followed them from school into the work world. They also consistently report feeling highly sensitive and easily overstimulated. Most of all, they tend to overthink EVERYTHING. Her clients' sensitive qualities-being highly attuned to their emotions, the environment, and the behavior of others-also make them susceptible to the stress that is a byproduct of their ambition. Typical workplace situations like getting negative feedback, giving a presentation, or dealing with difficult coworkers are more challenging than they are for people less sensitive. In Trust Yourself, Wilding identifies this problem and gives the nuanced reader profile a name-"Sensitive Strivers." And drawing on the latest research in behavioral psychology and neuroscience, she shows readers how to take control of their lives and redirect their sensitivity and drive as strengths"--

Executive presence : the missing link between merit and success / by Hewlett, Sylvia Ann,1946-author.(CARDINAL)148866;

Includes bibliographical references (page 181-194) and index.Prologue -- What is executive presence? -- Gravitas -- Communication -- Appearance -- Feedback failures -- Walking the tightrope -- Authenticity vs. conformity -- Conclusion."Are you "leadership material?" More importantly, do others perceive you to be? Sylvia Ann Hewlett, a noted expert on workplace power and influence, shows you how to identify and embody the Executive Presence (EP) that you need to succeed. You can have the experience and qualifications of a leader, but without executive presence, you won't advance. EP is an amalgam of qualities that true leaders exude, a presence that telegraphs you're in charge or deserve to be. Articulating those qualities isn't easy, however. Based on a nationwide survey of college graduates working across a range of sectors and occupations, Sylvia Hewlett and the Center for Talent Innovation discovered that EP is a dynamic, cohesive mix of appearance, communication, and gravitas. While these elements are not equal, to have true EP, you must know how to use all of them to your advantage. Filled with eye-opening insights, analysis, and practical advice for both men and women, mixed with illustrative examples from executives learning to use the EP, Executive Presence will help you make the leap from working like an executive to feeling like an executive."--Publisher's description.

What's your pronoun? : beyond he & she / by Baron, Dennis E.,author.(CARDINAL)813537;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 249-271) and index."The story of how we got from he and she to zie and hir and singular they. Like trigger warnings and gender-neutral bathrooms, pronouns are suddenly sparking debate, prompting new policies in schools, workplaces, even prisons, about what pronouns to use. Colleges ask students to declare their pronouns; corporate conferences print nametags with space for people to add their pronouns; email signatures sport pronouns along with names and titles. Far more than a byproduct of campus politics or culture wars, gender-neutral pronouns are in fact nothing new. Renowned linguist Dennis Baron puts them in historical context, demonstrating that Shakespeare used singular they; that women evoked the generic use of he to assert the right to vote (while those opposed to women's rights invoked the same word to assert that he did not include she), and that self-appointed language experts have been coining new gender pronouns, not just hir and zie but hundreds more, like thon, ip, and em, for centuries. Based on Baron's own empirical research, What's Your Pronoun? tells the untold story of gender-neutral and nonbinary pronouns"--
