Book Description

Leadership is strength. Leadership is unfailing. Leadership is the hand that picks you up when you fall, guides you when you are lost, and provides a beacon of light when all is a fog. Leadership is the conductor at the front of the orchestra, raising his baton in defining rhythm. Leadership is the coach on the sidelines cheering on his players regardless of what the scoreboard reads. Leadership is the parent who supports their child in all of their endeavors and provides a net of safety for them to soar over. Leadership is so much more than the mundane tasks of management and not so much about the fancy title and the power over others. Adventures in Leadership is a journey that encompasses all aspects of leadership. The good times and the bad; the mishaps, mistakes and mayhem all rolled into extraordinary days and sleepless nights. Adventures in Leadership will make you laugh through tales of hiring, firing and slapstick antics. It will make you cringe at the actions of leaders gone bad and shrink away from visions of death in the workplace. Four time best-selling author, Peter A. LaPorta, brings over 30 years of leadership excellence to the stories contained within Adventures in Leadership. You will marvel in wonder about tales from his leadership at Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and so many other companies. Come along for the ride and you will see the shining stars in the sky and the best of the best that set the level of excellence far above the rest. Peter A. LaPorta is an award-winning speaker, a motivational author, and a leader heralded all over the globe for his excellence. He is the acclaimed host of The Peter LaPorta Show as his words resonate to audiences everywhere. Traveling the globe, he spreads powerful messages of motivation and service.

The inhabitants of New Orleans thought they were safe. They had survived countless storms and were not about to evacuate. In those late days of August, 2005, they thought they could overcome. They were wrong. They put their homes, their property and their lives in the hands of a levee system. They gambled on the Bayou and lost when the levee broke, washing away everything they had. The only surviving aspect of the human condition was their faith. Michael Scott watched his wife die in his arms as he struggled to save his daughter Trinity from the storm. When the Coast Guard rescued them from atop their washed out family home, they were forced to move on without her. Now, the widower is a single parent and must rebuild for the only family he has left. A new home, a new state and a new life await but he must first overcome his devastating loss. His wife was his destiny, his lovebird, his lobster and his forever love. In order to move forward he must put it all behind him. Can he ever find love again or is he destined to be washed away like the love of his life? Faced with challenges at every turn, Michael Scott hides in one Sanctuary after another to avoid the inevitable bridge that he will need to cross in order to find happiness once again. Come along on this heartfelt journey as LaPorta explores the courage, resolve, and closure needed to possess as his characters look to the everlasting rainbow. Sanctuary will evoke human emotions; the depth of which you may never have experienced before. Life supplies us all with an infinite supply of love but you have to be brave enough to open your heart again to experience it.

Book Description

The groundbreaking guide to modern leadership in architectural practice Leading Collaborative Architectural Practice is the leadership handbook for today's design and construction professionals. Endorsed by the American Institute of Architects, this book describes the collaborative approach to leadership that is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern practice; gone are the days of authoritative "star" architects— today's practice is a brand, and requires the full input of every member of the team. This book builds off of a two-year AIA research project to provide a blueprint for effective leadership: the ability, awareness, and commitment to lead project teams who work together to accomplish the project's goals. Both group and individual hands-on exercises help facilitate implementation, and extensive case studies show how these techniques have helped real-world firms build exemplary success through collaborative teamwork and leadership. Highly illustrated and accessible, this approach is presented from the practicing architect's point of view—but the universal principles and time-tested methods also provide clear guidance for owners, contractors, engineers, project managers, and students. Build a culture of collaboration, commitment, and interpersonal awareness Adopt effective leadership techniques at the team, project, or practice level Handle conflict and resolve communication issues using tested approaches Learn how real-world projects use effective leadership to drive success The last decade has seen a sea-change in architectural leadership. New practices no longer adopt the name and identity of a single person, but create their own identity that represents the collaborative work of the entire group. Shifts in technology and changing workplace norms have made top-down management structures irrelevant, so what does it now mean to lead? Forefront presents effective contemporary leadership in the architectural practice, and real-world guidance on everyday implementation.

The men regale each other with exaggerated stories assuming the mattress could not talk and challenge their boasts. What stories would the furniture tell if it shared the inside secrets?
