Practical leadership for difficult times, from a crisis management expert who has led response teams through the 9/11 Pentagon attack, NFL on-field medical emergencies, and the war in Ukraine. Dr. Thom Mayer knows first-hand that true leadership stems from our actions, not our positions, especially in times of crisis. Drawing on his experiences heading the 9/11 Pentagon rescue efforts, dealing with on-field emergencies in the NFL (he was at Damar Hamlin’s bedside after his injury), training mobile response medical teams in Ukraine, and more, Mayer covers such topics as: Why trust is vital for innovation The critical role of failure in devising new ways of leading How questions fuel innovative action Why every leader should have the title Chief Story Teller The importance of distinguishing between data, knowledge, and wisdom Each chapter begins with a provocative and seemingly contradictory statement, like the book’s title, and includes stories, historical examples, and literary lessons selected to guide pragmatic and practical solutions. Leadership is worthless because it is something you say, a noun. But leading is priceless because it is a verb—it is the things we do that make a difference. From Pentagon generals to corporate CEOs to football players on the field to parents driving their kids to school, Mayer shows how leaders ensure that their actions will help others to succeed.

Children are not born with any particular knowledge or skills, therefore everything they need to know about how to survive in the real world they have to either learn at school or from you, their parents. Sadly, children don't learn vital financial lessons in school; therefore it's up to you to teach them not just how to scrape by in life, but how to thrive! The Family Bank is a full home financial system, which will not only teach your children how to use a checking account, credit cards and loans; but how to: build a resume, prepare for a job interview, succeed at work on a daily basis, budget, and how to avoid getting into debt over their heads. Even what to do to get out of financial trouble if they do fall down that hole. The Family Bank will also teach your kids how credit works in our society and how to maximize their credit scores, in order to take advantage of all the benefits that come with "good credit". The true beauty of The Family Bank though, is not the volumes of information it will help you to teach your kids; it's the elegantly simple way it does it. The Family Bank is a simple, yet thorough and complete outline of everything you need to know in order to create an actual "Family Bank" in your home; where your children will be your bank members. To develop a "Family Bank" on your own would take you years, but who has the time? With The Family Bank and a few minutes of your time each week, your children will enter the real world armed with the knowledge they need in order to be financially successful, stable adults.
