Gillums sherman (44 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The most dangerous thing about hardship is not what it does while you're in it. It's what happens when it appears to end. You go home. You sleep in a real bed. You eat a decent meal. You laugh at something small and ordinary. From the outside, life looks normal again. But hardship does not leave just because the moment is over. It goes quiet. It settles deeper. It begins shaping you in ways you may not recognize until years later. The Street challenges readers to confront this reality, because once you see it, you will not stop seeing it. This is not simply a book about Marine Corps recruit training. It is about what happens when survival stops being something you did and becomes someone you are. Drawing from one of the most unforgiving institutions in American life, Gillums asks the question most people never think to ask: what does survival cost the person who survives? His answer is unsparing. The systems that make people strong can also leave scars that do not announce themselves. Fear does not disappear when the threat is gone. It changes form. It goes underground. It begins shaping instinct, emotion, relationships, and judgment long after the danger has passed. Gillums writes not as an observer, but as someone who lived it, endured it, and later returned to help shape others inside the same system. With unflinching clarity, he reveals how endurance can become identity, how pain can become pattern, and how silence can become its own form of captivity. What he makes visible matters. Because what is named can be understood. And what is understood can be confronted. The Street is for anyone, military or civilian, who has ever wondered why some experiences never fully stay behind us. It does not offer easy comfort. It offers something rarer: hard truth, honestly told, and the possibility of understanding what has been quietly running your life.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The most dangerous high-pressure systems are the ones that train compromise to feel like compliance.Leadership failures are usually explained the same way. A CEO lacked integrity. A commander lost perspective. A manager ignored warning signs. Somewhere along the way, we decided institutional disasters begin with flawed people making flawed decisions.But what if that explanation is backwards?What if many leadership failures are not failures of character at all, but failures of formation?In high-pressure organizations, people are shaped long before they are tested. Institutions reward certain behaviors, punish others, and quietly teach leaders what survival requires. Protect the mission. Preserve the hierarchy. Do not slow the system down. Over time, compromise stops feeling like compromise. It starts feeling normal.Then the scandal breaks.The Boeing 737 MAX crashes. NASA overlooks another warning sign. The VA Phoenix crisis erupts into public view. And the same institutions that spent years rewarding the behavior suddenly describe the outcome as an unforeseeable ethical failure.In Forged Under Load, Dr. Sherman Gillums Jr. draws on decades of leadership experience in the U.S. Marine Corps, the Department of Homeland Security, and other high-stakes institutions to challenge one of the most influential assumptions in modern leadership study: that ethical collapse begins with bad people.Instead, he introduces a groundbreaking framework for understanding organizational behavior, ethical leadership, institutional culture, and decision-making under pressure: the Leadership Formation-Cost Diagnostic (LFCD).The LFCD shifts the focus away from personality and toward formation. Why do good people inside respected organizations repeatedly produce damaging outcomes? Why do leadership development programs fail to prevent organizational dysfunction? Why do intelligent professionals normalize decisions they once believed they would resist?Through gripping case studies involving the Boeing 737 MAX disaster, NASA's catastrophic failures, the VA Phoenix access crisis, military leadership systems, and institutional decision-making under pressure, Gillums reveals how organizations condition ethical behavior long before visible collapse occurs.Inside, you will discover: - Why traditional leadership development models often fail in high-pressure environments- How organizational culture quietly shapes ethical decision-making- Why "bad apples" explanations conceal deeper structural problems- How institutions normalize ethical drift before leaders recognize it themselves- Practical ways to identify hidden formation pressures inside your own organization- A new framework for ethical leadership, organizational psychology, and systems thinking leadershipPart leadership book, part organizational psychology, and part institutional failure analysis, Forged Under Load offers a provocative new approach to leadership, ethics, organizational behavior, and crisis decision-making.Because the most dangerous systems are rarely the ones openly demanding corruption. They are the ones that quietly train decent people to accept it. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In the Name of Blackness: An Exploration of Racial Identity and Naming Conventions. Confronting Nameism's Impact on Black Lives and their Struggle for Socio-Political Liberation.This thought-provoking book delves into the profound significance of names as primary identifiers within social structures, particularly for the Black community. It explores the struggles, biases, and prejudices that individuals with distinctively Black names encounter, especially within predominantly white environments. The author, drawing from personal experiences and observations, presents a comprehensive analysis of the name-based racism or 'nameism, ' a term that emerged from a 2024 University of Dayton study.The historical trajectory of nameism is intricately explored, tracing its origins and evolution alongside the construction and perception of Blackness as a racial identity. The author masterfully sheds light on the subtle yet pervasive nature of nameism, demonstrating how it manifests in various data and research. The book emphasizes how these name-identity threats influence the judgments of society's opportunity gatekeepers, such as educators, employers, and loan officers, and their long-term impacts.In an era where labeling and identifying oneself is pivotal, the book positions Black naming conventions as acts of resistance, signifying the journey from the demand for civil rights to the rise of consciousness movements that fostered a self-determined identity among Black Americans. These names, rich in history and symbolic of freedom, are presented as a counterpoint to societal norms and expectations.However, the author doesn't shy away from the darker side of this narrative. He critically examines nameism as a form of symbolic violence, where societal power dynamics impose values that justify bias against individuals whose names symbolize a counter-assimilative intent. This forms a significant liability in a society that claims to be colorblind, yet often extols the virtues of seeing the absence of Blackness in a person.In the Name of Blackness offers an insightful exploration of the intersection of racial identity, naming conventions, and societal biases, illuminating the struggle and resilience of the Black community amidst persistent challenges. This compelling read challenges us to reassess our preconceived notions and prejudices, encouraging a more inclusive understanding of identity and diversity.…
