It's a perennial pastime to compare U.S. presidents, but our current ranking systems are riddled with flaws. In The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn't), Alvin Stephen Felzenberg offers logical categories of measuring presidential performance - character, vision, competence, legacy, and so on - while assessing, for each, the best and worst we've seen. A fresh and imaginative look at how our presidents stack up against one another, The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn't) uniquely deliberates on the standard ''greats'' of our country's history, giving them the critical consideration they deserve.

LET'S GET REAL: The vast majority of leadership development programs don't work. Not only do they feel irrelevant--failing to address the issues that keep leaders up at night--even when they are on point, without built-in opportunities for leaders to practice what they've learned, those lessons don't stick. To cultivate better leaders--ones who can serve as the next generation of senior management, bring business to new heights, and stay with the organization long enough to create lasting change-- we need a better solution. Leaders Deserve Better is that solution. Relying on her experience working with leaders, Jennifer Mackin begins by laying out the problem with standard development practices using real-life examples that illustrate the impact of inadequate development. She gives readers a glimpse of the myriad benefits of a better--and entirely revolutionized--approach, offering tools for leaders to conduct their own assessments to discover the gaps in their programming. Armed with these insights, senior leaders can ignite their own leadership development revolutions that support the effective development that all leaders deserve.

Readers and voters will discover Trump's ideas on: *Foreign policy and relations with China, Russia, North Korea, and Israel *How to fix our broken and underperfoming education system *Reducing regulations on business to help create jobs and economic growth *A dramatic one-time tax on the super-wealthy to close the national debt and fuel tax cuts for the middle class *Immigration, crime, terrorism, and more The America We Deserve is essential reading for Trump-watchers, voters, Republicans, Democrats, and anyone interested in how Trump the businessman became Trump the president.

Drawing on the experiences and words of successful public school principals, Theoharis shows why social justice leadership is needed and how it can be effective in creating more equitable schools.

Look around your office. Turn on the TV. Incompetent leadership is everywhere, and there's no denying that most of these leaders are men. In this timely and provocative book, Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic asks two powerful questions: Why is it so easy for incompetent men to become leaders? And why is it so hard for competent people--especially competent women--to advance? Marshaling decades of rigorous research, Chamorro-Premuzic points out that although men make up a majority of leaders, they underperform when compared with female leaders. In fact, most organizations equate leadership potential with a handful of destructive personality traits, like overconfidence and narcissism. In other words, these traits may help someone get selected for a leadership role, but they backfire once the person has the job. When competent women--and men who don't fit the stereotype--are unfairly overlooked, we all suffer the consequences. The result is a deeply flawed system that rewards arrogance rather than humility, and loudness rather than wisdom. There is a better way. With clarity and verve, Chamorro-Premuzic shows us what it really takes to lead and how new systems and processes can help us put the right people in charge.
