Leadership Rites of Passage

The Journey of the Aspiring Leader and the Methods of the Mentor

By: Rick Tirrell

BUILD YOUR LEADERSHIP/STRENGTHEN YOUR MENTORING/RUN A SEMINAR WINNER [LEADERSHIP] 2022 INDEPENDENT PRESS AWARD WINNER [BUSINESS] FALL 2021 PINNACLE BOOK ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS BRONZE MEDAL WINNER [BUSINESS] 2022 AMERICAN BUSINESS AWARDS HONORABLE MENTION [BUSINESS] 2022 ERIC HOFFER BOOK AWARD DISTINGUISHED FAVORITE [Business] 2022 NYC BIG BOOK AWARD This book is for: Aspiring Leaders Leadership Mentors and Trainers Leadership Seminar Facilitators Seeking an Agenda and Lesson Plans Leadership Rites of Passage: The Journey of the Aspiring Leader and the Methods of the Mentor shows leaders how to master leadership skillsets from the basic to the ever-more sophisticated and shows mentors & trainers how to masterfully guide the leader to and through each successive challenge. The long term work of personal leadership development is organized into 16 levels of leadership, each called a Rite of Passage. It displays how the aspiring leader masters each developmental task, how the mentor guides him, and it offers seminar discussion questions. These Rites of Passage are distinctly separated into four broad missions: Take the Lead, Create Followers, Become a Leader of Leaders, and Master the Psychology of Leadership. This compelling fable follows an "everyman", Joe Miller, on his journey toward extraordinary leadership, from his earliest days through to his retirement speech. Early on, Joe finds a mentor, Sagen Cruz, who is masterfully probative and insightful as he draws Joe toward each leadership challenge. In 16 short but useful chapters we listen in on 16 mentoring sessions as readers passively gain the benefits of Sagen's careful guidance and witness Joe's work to influence people and build followership. Very well organized and easy to read, it allows these leadership development tasks to emerge organically as the two men work together. Sagen tells Joe each Rite of Passage will continue calling to him until he masters it. Ignoring it will not make it go away. Readers benefit from the way this leadership book uncovers the increasingly more difficult-to-detect core issues at play after Joe masters the basic essential elements of leadership. With each leadership challenge, Sagen points Joe to a masterwork in the literature which Sagen briefly summarizes, asks Joe to read, and expects Joe to incorporate as he learns how to lead. Readers can use this reference list to pursue their own subsequent leadership reading. Each chapter is brief, impactful, and useful to master the art of leadership. At each chapter’s end, three summaries offer us Joe's work, Sagen's executive coaching process, and thought-provoking case study discussion questions. The text and case study questions are complete lesson plans for a leadership seminar or training sequence. This text is likely to become one of your best leadership books and a treasured resource.

Beyond the Razor Wire

A Collection of Poems from Inmates

By: Rick Conner

The long strands of razor wire conceal from society what it is like on the inside. There is another world filled with violence, fear, hopelessness, and despair, which is seldom shared with the outside world. In this anthology, thirty-five inmates share their hearts and minds in poetry and prose. Some are vengeful; some are angry, and others are resentful. But each person expresses themselves freely from their point of view. David Berkowitz, the notorious murderer known as Son of Sam, shares his testimony of how God touched his life one evening in a cold and lonely prison cell. Today, David Berkowitz is known as the Son of Hope. Many inmates, who will never see the light of day again, share their poems and prose in this collection, Beyond The Razor Wire.

Geiger Ready-mix

Built to Last

By: Rick Tirrell

When Bill Geiger's grandfather died, the family's ready-mix company was left without a major customer, but it survived--and when employees at the Kansas City, Kansas, company went on strike in 1989, it came out stronger as a non-union enterprise. Every time the company faced a challenge, it came out stronger because of grit. The employees and leaders never gave up--and that can be traced back to "The Geiger Way" that's been passed on through generations.The "way" forms a code that everyone at the company follows, which includes: being on time and hustling, showing honesty and integrity, seeking continuous improvement, competing for the profits necessary to reach company goals, and showing respect for the community and environment.Whenever there was a key decision to be made or a challenge to be overcome, owners, managers, and employees only had to return to those core values. As long as they followed them, they found success.Find out how a small company grew into one that employs more than 250 people and how it has competed against larger, better funded rivals in this fascinating account that will benefit anyone seeking to establish or sustain a mission-driven organization.
