The Wise Advocate

The Inner Voice of Strategic Leadership

By: Art Kleiner,Josie Thomson,Jeffrey Schwartz

Leadership is the habit of making good choices. Even in difficult and uncertain circumstances, the most effective leaders focus their attention and overcome entrenched patterns of behavior to push an organization to new heights of success. This capability is no fluke: the latest research on the brain shows that we can pinpoint the mental activity associated with it—and cultivate it for our benefit. In this book, Art Kleiner, a strategy expert; Jeffrey Schwartz, a research psychiatrist; and Josie Thomson, an executive coach, give a transformative explanation of how cutting-edge neuroscience can help business leaders set a course toward better management. Mapping the functions of a manager onto established patterns of mental activity, they identify crucial brain circuits and their parallels in organizational culture. Strategic leaders, they show, play the role of wise advocates: able to go beyond day-to-day transactional behavior to a longer-term, broader perspective that articulates their organization’s deeper purpose. True leaders can play this influencer role in an organization because they have cultivated similar self-reflective habits in their own minds. Providing a powerful guide to decision strategies and their consequences, The Wise Advocate helps managers find their own inner voice and then make that voice ring out loud and clear, with a four-step program for practice and catalytic implications for management strategy, executive education, and business results.

Personal Narratives by Two Women of Life in a Small Island Community

By: Josie Avery,Grace Hall McEntee

What is it like to live on an island without a bridge? For some, the commute over Narragansett Bay by ferry is a daily reunion with island neighbors. For others of us, piloting a small boat challenges our skills and surprises us with unexpected adventure. Separation from daily life on the mainland breeds a unique culture. Here on Prudence Island we have our own lingo and our island ways. Our language is sprinkled with references to wind direction, temperature, tides and time. We savor night walks on the beach, a run on a dirt road, and stopping to talk to a turtle. Kids and adults build relationships, unique friendships that leap barriers that ordinarily separate us from those who might become our friends. Home at Last emanates from Prudence Island an island without a bridge the place where we live.

The Candidate

By: Josie Brown

Seduction and intrigue are rampant on the campaign trail when a political campaign adviser discovers that Washington's power broker elite have embroiled his presidential candidate in a plot involving an act of terrorism on US soil… Democratic political campaign consultant Ben Brinker can’t remember the last time he was excited by a candidate’s vision. He feels he’s lost his way, both emotionally and professionally. Worse yet, his show-me-the-money policy seems to have finally caught up with him. Two of his recent clients have been disgraced in one way or another: a senator is caught in lurid sex scandal, and a congressman is indicted in a kickback scandal. In no time at all the political pundits are calling Ben a "candidate cooler." Now Ben is desperate for any campaign gig he can get. As luck would have it, Andrew Harris Mansfield, the charismatic junior senator from North Carolina and former Marine pilot, asks Ben if he wants to run his soon-to-be-announced campaign for president. Little does Ben know what's in store for Andrew, or their country—Nor does he realize that the key to saving both have been placed in his hands.
