Managing Leadership

Toward a New and Usable Understanding of what Leadership Really Is--and how to Manage it

By: James H. Stroup,Jim Stroup

Managing Leadership is an essential guide to understanding what organizational leadership really is and how to harness it to the service of today's organizations. Author Jim Stroup brings to the topic of organizational leadership over 30 years of experience as a student of and participant in leadership in military, civilian, and governmental organizations around the world. In a compellingly drawn argument, Stroup provides a clear and actionable solution to the leadership crisis facing the owners, directors, and managers of contemporary organizations. Learn why today's concept of individual leadership has to be scrapped: § It places on "leaders" untenable burdens that irresistibly lead to isolation, loss of direction--and disloyalty. § It represents the surrender of our organizations, their owners and stakeholders to the "leaders" and their "vision". § Managers must regain control of today's organizations in all fields. Discover how to: § Properly understand what leadership in an organization really is. § Manage leadership as a resource like any other in the organization. § Guide today's organizations out of the individual leadership crisis and into the intelligent management of leadership. Managing Leadership will show owners and managers how to take back control of their organizations and direct them with effective, no-nonsense managerial integrity.

Black Baseball, 1858-1900

A Comprehensive Record of the Teams, Players, Managers, Owners and Umpires

By: James E. Brunson III

This is one of the most important baseball books to be published in a long time, taking a comprehensive look at black participation in the national pastime from 1858 through 1900. It provides team rosters and team histories, player biographies, a list of umpires and games they officiated and information on team managers and team secretaries. Well known organizations like the Washington's Mutuals, Philadelphia Pythians, Chicago Uniques, St. Louis Black Stockings, Cuban Giants and Chicago Unions are documented, as well as lesser known teams like the Wilmington Mutuals, Newton Black Stockings, San Francisco Enterprise, Dallas Black Stockings, Galveston Flyaways, Louisville Brotherhoods and Helena Pastimes. Player biographies trace their connections between teams across the country. Essays frame the biographies, discussing the social and cultural events that shaped black baseball. Waiters and barbers formed the earliest organized clubs and developed local, regional and national circuits. Some players belonged to both white and colored clubs, and some umpires officiated colored, white and interracial matches. High schools nurtured young players and transformed them into powerhouse teams, like Cincinnati's Vigilant Base Ball Club. A special essay covers visual representations of black baseball and the artists who created them, including colored artists of color who were also baseballists.
