This book is the story of my life, a lady who grew up on a small farm in the Deep South, and how I was able to reach the top of my career field, serving as a two-star general at the Pentagon. Women have served, both in and out of uniform, in defense of this country since the beginning of our nation. Serving the United States Air Force in uniform was my career choice. This book is an outgrowth of the review of publicity surrounding my military career, both active and reserves, and follow-on civilian career, and of the inventory of the more than 100 speeches I gave when I reached the top of my career field. Audiences in the 1980s and 90s were surprised to learn of the original roadblocks, both laws and policies, which precluded me, a woman, from setting goals at the beginning of my military journey in 1960 to reach the level to which I finally achieved during my career in uniform. All I had when in uniform were male mentors, because there were no females to which I could look for guidance and success stories. Indeed, my accomplishments led to the glass ceiling being opened wide for the other ladies who came after me and were recognized for their ability and talents to serve and excel at higher levels of leadership. Friends who know of my accomplishments implored me to put pen to paper to show how I, as a young girl could —with hard work, tenacity, stick-to-it-iveness and using lessons learned in early years —propel myself to the forefront, leading to success. Come with me as I take you back to the beginning, to my first role models: my mother and father who set examples for me and taught me lessons that would propel me even further than a little 1940's farm girl from Oakman, Alabama could have imagined. I hope you'll be inspired to see where my dreams took me, finding love, heartbreak, adventure and prestige along the way.

Our colleges and universities are being led in large part by baby boomers who are now in later midlife. Huge numbers of those middle-aged leaders will retire within the next 10 years. While we know that being in later midlife and impending retirement must influence a person in a leadership position at an institution of higher learning, we don’t really understand how. This book is based upon an empirical study that linked higher education leadership to one aspect of midlife known as generativity. This psychosocial phenomenon was described by Erik Erikson as a desire that peaks in midlife to leave something for future generations before one dies. Generativity typically manifests itself in the legacy one intends to leave. The author of this book has completed a multiple case study of women who are in later midlife and who hold high-level leadership positions at an institution of higher learning. In this work, she shares more than has ever been known about the nature, antecedents, and support of generativity in the leadership of female higher education leaders in midlife.

Whatever your position, if you influence change in the lives of those around you, you are engaged in an act of leadership. And if you are a leader in any sense, you are creating a legacy as you live your daily life. Your leadership legacy is the sum total of the difference you make in people's lives, directly and indirectly, formally and informally. Will you consciously craft your legacy or simply leave it up to chance? What can you do to create a positive, empowering legacy that will endure and inspire?Your Leadership Legacy, the latest volume in the popular Ken Blanchard Series, is a parable that challenges leaders to take responsibility for the lasting impact their actions can have, for better or for worse. The authors spent five years speaking to a cross-section of men and women form all walks of life, asking them who had left an indelible impression in their lives and, more importantly, why. They drew on his research to develop three Leadership Imperatives that any leader can follow to create a lasting positive legacy. They reveal these imperatives through the story of Doug Roman. Doug is a brash, 30-something CEO, heir-apparent to a company called Mooseland Stoneware. He assumes he will just waltz into the job after the death of the former CEO, his beloved Aunt Nan. But Aunt Nan has a posthumous surprise for him. She leaves behind a detailed letter telling him that he must first embark on a journey to learn the leadership imperatives that will prepare him to live his leadership legacy. He can only become CEO if six months later, Mooseland's board unanimously agrees that he as indeed understood and begun to master these leadership imperatives. As readers accompany Doug, they learn that leaving a lasting legacy is about more than just professional values-they must demonstrate them by the way they live. While there are many books that help leaders define their values, there is little written to help them figure out how to live them courageously. Your Leadership Legacy shows leaders that the legacy they live is the legacy they leave."Your Leadership Legacy provides you with sound advice in helping make your life one that is whole, meaningful, and memorable. Read it, then read it again." -Harry Paul, co-author, FISH!: A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results

Throughout the pages of this book, we encounter the famous Freemasons who have left an indelible mark on history. From influential leaders and intellectuals to renowned artists and musicians, their membership in the brotherhood shaped their lives and legacies.
