A long time ago, the Spear-Danes and their kings were a mighty people. All have heard of their power and their glory. All have heard of the famous Scyld Scefing, who destroyed his enemies and their drinking halls. Although he was an orphan, he rose to the rank of king and his people showered him with gifts. Scyld was a great king. The Gods knew the people had suffered without a leader, so they sent a gift from the heavens. A babe called Beow. That particular boy was famed throughout the northern lands and he behaved well in his youth. He handed out gifts and earned the friendship and favour of many menfolk that he would have to call upon later for battle. In any northern kingdom, actions like those were a sure path to greatness and power. Scyld died in the prime of his life and ordered his men to cast his body out to sea. They did as he wished and placed his body in his boat and filled it with more treasure, swords and armour than anyone had ever seen before. His body had been set upon the sea, just like he had been set upon the sea of life in his youth. From the mast of the ship, a golden flag flapped in the breeze that carried away the boat. The king Scyld and his treasure sailed into the unknown and his people mourned deeply.

Crisis Management in a Complex World

By: Dawn R. Gilpin,Priscilla J. Murphy

Today's managers, business owners, and public relations practitioners grapple daily with a fundamental question about contemporary crisis management: to what extent is it possible to control events and stakeholder responses to them, in order to contain escalating crises or safeguard an organization's reputation? The authors meet the question head-on, departing from other crisis management texts, and arguing that a complexity-based approach is superior to the standard simplification model of organizational learning.

Mothering While Black

Mothering While Black

Boundaries and Burdens of Middle-Class Parenthood

By: Dawn Marie Dow

Mothering While Black examines the complex lives of the African American middle class—in particular, black mothers and the strategies they use to raise their children to maintain class status while simultaneously defining and protecting their children’s “authentically black” identities. Sociologist Dawn Marie Dow shows how the frameworks typically used to research middle-class families focus on white mothers’ experiences, inadequately capturing the experiences of African American middle- and upper-middle-class mothers. These limitations become apparent when Dow considers how these mothers apply different parenting strategies for black boys and for black girls, and how they navigate different expectations about breadwinning and childrearing from the African American community. At the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, work, family, and culture, Mothering While Black sheds light on the exclusion of African American middle-class mothers from the dominant cultural experience of middle-class motherhood. In doing so, it reveals the painful truth of the decisions that black mothers must make to ensure the safety, well-being, and future prospects of their children.

Leadership in Higher Education from a Transrelational Perspective

By: Christopher M. Branson,Maureen Marra,Margaret Franken,Dawn Penney

There is an abundance of research saying that not only is leadership in higher education ineffective but also that it actually undermines the essential work that should be happening in universities. Christopher M. Branson, Maureen Marra, Margaret Franken and Dawn Penney provide a new insight into leadership that has proven to be far more effective for all involved – the transrelational approach to leadership. This new way of leading places an emphasis on the importance of the relationships that the leader develops with each and every person they are leading. However, in order to apply this new way of leading, higher education institutions must change some of the key ways they work. This book provides direction in how this can happen, what benefits would result, and offers a view on what the future for higher education might be if such changes to leadership are not made. Leadership in Higher Education from a Transrelational Perspective both critiques the likely implications of adopting this transrelational form of leadership into a higher educational institution and discusses the implications of not doing so. Although a transrelational approach to leadership might seem daunting for higher education institutions to adopt, is there any other choice? The authors argue that it is inconceivable for institutions founded upon promoting human development as a consequence of research to ignore such research that not only questions the suitability of current leadership practices but also offers a more effective alternative.

Fort Worth

By: Dawn Youngblood, PhD

Fort Worth exudes a vivacious Western spirit founded upon a rich history. In 1849, four years after the Republic of Texas became the 28th state, the Army built a fort to keep native tribes west of the Trinity. That fort grew into a focal stop on the Chisholm Trail and later became the western terminus of the railroad. In World War I, Fort Worth housed one Army and three aircraft training bases, while Fort Worth Stockyards, which became one of the largest in the nation, provided multitudes of horses and mules. From pianos on dirt floors to the Van Cliburn Competition, from the earliest portraits by itinerant French artists to world-class art museums, Fort Worth has always been home to high culture. Groups such as the Woman's Wednesday Club made sure art and libraries stood in the old fort town once more famous for its saloons. No matter the era, and no matter the many reasons, Fort Worth will always be "where the West begins.
