In 1944, on a sabotaged B-24 Bomber en route to a fifteen-hour mission to northern Germany from Cerignola, Italy, Navigator Robert C. Bueker parachuted from the stricken aircraft over Hungary and subsequently was captured by the Germans. A captivating tale of his physical trials and resourcefulness, mental anguish conquered by loving memories of his "childhood sweetheart" wife, depression erased by supreme confidence in the future and his unwavering belief in final victory unfolds in the mind of this German Prisoner of War awaiting repatriation. This is the story of courageous men who fought against the Germans over the skies of Europe against all odds. Men who watched their comrades fall to their deaths from fighter aircraft attack and anti-aircraft barrage. Men who saw their Groups and Squadrons devoid of aircraft after staggering losses that amounted to 65% casualties for combat crews of the 15th Air Force. Men who soon would realize after arrival in Italy that the next mission may be their last. World War II was a war that tried the stamina of a nation through a myriad of actions such as those portrayed in this memoir.

“For workers who are interested in developing skills to further their career goals . . . an eye-opening look at how we use and develop our skills.” —IT Business Edge Books like StrengthsFinder 2.0 have helped leaders discover their strengths—but they stop there. The Sindells argue that focusing only on your best abilities neglects a vital development opportunity. They show how to identify hidden strengths that can be quickly elevated into full strengths with attention and focus. Working mainly on your strengths can ultimately make you weaker, they argue—you need to continually add new skills, not rely on what you’re already good at. And while most people assume that means they should try to turn their weaknesses into usable skills, the Sindells say that it takes too much time and effort —the ROI just isn’t there. It’s in the neglected middle skills, neither strengths nor weaknesses, that the most potent development opportunities lie. They’re close enough to being strengths that putting your energy there can offer a powerful payoff. Using assessments, exercises, and case studies, the Sindells help you identify your most promising middle skills and create a plan to turn them into strengths. In today’s work environment, not growing and stretching yourself translates into lack of innovation, stagnation, and obsolescence. Relying upon strengths is like relying upon training wheels—at a certain point you need to take them off in order to improve and grow. “Tackl[es] the question of why it’s so tempting to focus on extremes—our strengths and weaknesses—while overlooking our capacity in the middle: our hidden strengths.” —Bill McLawhon, Head of Leadership Development, Facebook

Tisha Morris teaches you how to apply the ancient wisdom of Taoist principles, so you can identify and improve your most challenging element. Moving your desk to the power position and expressing your energy with clothing are just a couple of the ways to awaken dormant aspects of yourself and integrate your creative right-brain with your business left-brain.

In the uncertain, changing, global and interconnected world, the 'alpha' or 'hero' leadership style alone is outdated and inadequate. Quieter professionals, who are often overlooked or taken advantage of without recognition, have immense value to contribute to organisations. In this book, Megumi Miki shares her own experience and those of many other quiet professionals who have achieved great success in the business environment.Megumi believes that a shift in our beliefs about leadership will allow talented quiet professionals to view their quiet nature as a strength and to succeed in their own way, rather than seeing it as a disadvantage. She aims to empower quieter professionals and those outside majority groups to fulfil their potential.Quietly Powerful challenges quiet professionals to reframe the story they tell themselves about their leadership potential - and encourages organisations to expand their ideas about what good leadership looks, sounds and feels like.
