Book Description
The word trust is, perhaps, the most important word in leadership, organizational culture, and interpersonal relationships. We go to school to learn to be educators, doctors, mechanics, skilled tradespersons, scientists, and scores of other degreed and non-degreed occupations and skills. It is our hope to be proficient in our fields. Yet, in all those hours of learning, the average employee or leader has probably had little, if any, formal training on how to foster and develop, and/or repair and rebuild trust. That is a dangerous scenario. TRUST! Using Archetypal Language to Repair Broken Trust is a book to equip the reader with skills on using intentional language to create trust between leaders and followers, colleagues or anyone we work with on a day-to-day basis, especially after trust has been dented, diminished, or destroyed. If we care about building a culture of trust, we must destroy our old frameworks and create new paradigms. After reading this book, the reader will have specific strategies and structures to employ in their communications, which is the first step toward restoring trust. Communication is almost always a topic with regard to building and/or restoring trust, but it is often explained in broad terms and redundant platitudes. In this book, we will look at the power of using specific adjectives and/or adverbs in our communication to build and transform trust. The book is a journey to discover word choices based upon the specific word bank we hear in the narratives of those with whom we are looking to foster enjoyable trust. (Hold on, even the words used in this paragraph will determine if you trust the contents of the book to turn the first page.)

Book Description
What do you want, dear reader? A thriller, a science fiction epic, or rather a fantasy novel? Or perhaps a dystopian, dark story with a post-apocalyptic background? Then you are holding the right book in your hands right now, because it starts with a murder, describes science fiction paired with plenty of fantasy and takes you into a dark future. The only reason for you not to read this book might be if you can't handle the description of lesbian activities. -*- It begins quite 'innocently' with a brutal murder in the lesbian porn scene, which detective inspector Anja Hirrwanger, who has been transferred from Munich to Inzell, is tasked with solving. In the course of her investigation, the murder case increasingly fades into the background and the shadows of her past as an elite soldier increasingly reach out to her, as she encounters a soulful Class V android who knows more about herself than she does. Anja and the android Bernadette uncover more and more pieces of a vicious game in which she and her two unknown sisters were merely genetically engineered, highly efficient, deadly chess pieces. In the end, it is up to Anja's young assistant, budding detective Chantall Küppers, to solve the murder case, because Anja must die if she is to survive. Thus begins for a handful of women, who defy the natural course of events, a bizarre journey through time, away from the dying earth in search of a new home in which there may be no men.

Book Description
Using war memoirs, war journalism, and the personal experiences of John Paul Wallis as a Marine with two tours of duty in Iraq, Wallis and Mechling analyze the folklore shared by male warriors in the combat zone to understand how the traditional everyday practices of these men in groups serve as a form of psychological first aid for relieving the symptoms associated with the stress of living, working, and fighting in the combat zone.

The Warrior Ethos
Author: Christopher Coker
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134096364
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This is the first scholarly book to look at the role of the 'warrior' in modern war, arguing that warriors' actions, and indeed thoughts, are increasingly patrolled and that the modern battlefield is an unforgiving environment in which to discharge their vocation. As war becomes ever more instrumentalized, so its existential dimension is fast being hollowed out. Technology is threatening the agency of the warrior and this volume paints a picture of early twenty-first century warfare, helping to explain why so many aspiring warriors are becoming disenchanted with their profession. Written by a leading thinker on warfare, this book sets out to explain what makes an American Marine a ‘warrior’ and why suicide bombers, or Al Qaeda fighters, do not qualify for this title. This distinction is one of the central features of the current War on Terror – and one that justifies much more extensive discussion than it has so far received. The Warrior Ethos will be of great interest to all students of military history, strategy, military sociology and war studies.

Breach of Trust

ISBN: 0805096035
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
A blistering critique of the gulf between America's soldiers and the society that sends them off to war, from the bestselling author of The Limits of Power and Washington Rules The United States has been "at war" in Iraq and Afghanistan for more than a decade. Yet as war has become normalized, a yawning gap has opened between America's soldiers and veterans and the society in whose name they fight. For ordinary citizens, as former secretary of defense Robert Gates has acknowledged, armed conflict has become an "abstraction" and military service "something for other people to do." In Breach of Trust, bestselling author Andrew J. Bacevich takes stock of the separation between Americans and their military, tracing its origins to the Vietnam era and exploring its pernicious implications: a nation with an abiding appetite for war waged at enormous expense by a standing army demonstrably unable to achieve victory. Among the collateral casualties are values once considered central to democratic practice, including the principle that responsibility for defending the country should rest with its citizens. Citing figures as diverse as the martyr-theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the marine-turned-anti-warrior Smedley Butler, Breach of Trust summons Americans to restore that principle. Rather than something for "other people" to do, national defense should become the business of "we the people." Should Americans refuse to shoulder this responsibility, Bacevich warns, the prospect of endless war, waged by a "foreign legion" of professionals and contractor-mercenaries, beckons. So too does bankruptcy—moral as well as fiscal.

Following the frightening narrative of the 506th Infantry Regiment—who had rebranded themselves as the Lethal Warriors after decades as the Band of Brothers—he reveals how the painful realities of war have multiplied in recent years, with tragic outcomes for America's soldiers, compounded by an indifferent government and a shrinking societal safety net.

The Legendary Highlander
Author: Donna Fletcher
Publisher: Donna Fletcher

Category : Fiction

Pages : 329
Book Description
Is she a witch or a healer? Lord Varrick is the Legendary Highlander who has well-earned the myth centered around him. He is known for his endless victories in battle, his fearless skill as a warrior, and his soulless nature. He rules over a heavily forested area in the north and rumors spread that he commands an army of the dead and that no one passes through his land without his permission, or they chance battling his ethereal warriors. Truth or tale? No one knows and no one takes the chance of finding out. Fia is a healer from a long line of healers. She is eager to learn all she can so she can help the ill, though more importantly prevent illness if possible. Her grandmother warned her to be careful that there were those who would misjudge her and threaten her life. A fair warning indeed, for she has met such a fate and is now in the hands of the legendary Highlander. But not the way she thought she would be… she is forced to wed him. Lord Varrick refuses to tell her what he wants with her, and she fears that once he has what he wants her fate will be sealed, and he will see her dead, ending their marriage and being rid of her. How to prevent such a fate is the challenge she faces. He does not hold her prisoner but has warned her of the consequences if she should run from him and it is not something she wishes to chance. When she learns what she is there for, she uses all her skills and learned knowledge to succeed and win her freedom. But is it freedom she truly wants from the Legendary Highlander? Or has she seen in him something that no one else can see… that he is a man who desperately needs to know love. As danger lurks at every turn and hidden secrets are revealed, Fia must navigate a treacherous path to save not only herself but to help the enigmatic Lord Varrick unlock his heart and learn to love. Note: While this trilogy does not need to be read in sequence, each book a standalone, Fia and other characters from Highland Myth Trilogy were first introduced in Highland Secrets A Cree & Dawn Novel… a prelude of sorts to their individual stories.
