Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?: (And How to Fix It)

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.

Introvert: Emotional Intelligence and Quiet Powers of Introverts

This book consists of two titles, which are the following: Book 1: There is no doubt about the fact that introverts are different than extroverts. Although every person has their own unique personality traits, some generalizations can help us gain greater insights in the workings of our brains, and with that understanding, we can function better, feel better, and live better. The aim of this book is exactly that: Help you understand yourself or the introvert in your life better. In order to accomplish that goal, this guide lists several topics related to shyness, signs of introversion in children, the benefits of being an introvert (very important to know), the difference between being an introvert or being introverted, and false myths that require some clarifications. Book 2: This guide answers some major questions that introverts have had in the past. And obviously, it will address those concerns in a way that provides new insights and useful information. Topics include the intimidation factor, even for introverts, as well as finding introverts to talk to, socializing with them, why you can be proud of being an introvert, things extroverts and introverts can learn from each other, and basic interaction skills we all need. These fascinating topics will help you see the bigger picture.

Whoops, I Married a Bipolar: An Inside Look at a Real Relationship with Mental Illness

The name of this book is “Whoops I Married a Bipolar.” I am aware that might offend some people or give the impression that I don’t take mental illness seriously, but I assure you I have never experienced so many levels of pain in my life then I have from witnessing and engaging with this illness. I know how serious it is and that it can ruin marriages, families and even take lives. I say, Whoops, because when we get married we have a set of visions and goals in our head of what that marriage is going to look like. From the thousands of woman I have spoken with, a majority of them did not understand or recognize that their partner had a mental illness and most times, the partner had not been diagnosed in treatment for it when they met. The dreams of your marriage begin to pull away and you wonder, “How did I get here?” Where’s the person I fell in love with? By the time you and your spouse get through enough tragedy to actually get support, you as the partner are up to your eye balls in the fight to maintain some kind of balance and normality in your lives. There has been a lot of “Whoops” moments for me, times when I felt cheated that I didn’t get the marriage I planned for, like it was a mistake. However, I believe that life is very much on purpose and that we have stories that we are intended to live and to tell. I can say Whoops, and laugh about it now. Whoops, look what I did. I stepped into the most challenging relationship, circumstance and season of my life. There are days when I want to say it was an accident and ask for a re-do, but I know in my heart that my husband and I are no accident. Every pain, tragedy, recovery and celebration is all part of our story… on purpose. Sometimes it may feel like a Whoops’, but that doesn’t mean you have to quit. You can pick yourself up and restart, Bipolar is famous for that, so take a page from their book and learn to get over the tough cycles and keep living your life.

The Ghetto: A Very Short Introduction

For three hundred years the ghetto defined Jewish culture in the late medieval and early modern period in Western Europe. In the nineteenth-century it was a free-floating concept which traveled to Eastern Europe and the United States. Eastern European 'ghettos', which enabled genocide, were crudely rehabilitated by the Nazis during World War Two as if they were part of a benign medieval tradition. In the United States, the word ghetto was routinely applied to endemic black ghettoization which has lasted from 1920 until the present. Outside of America 'the ghetto' has been universalized as the incarnation of class difference, or colonialism, or apartheid, and has been applied to segregated cities and countries throughout the world. In this Very Short Introduction Bryan Cheyette unpicks the extraordinarily complex layers of contrasting meanings that have accrued over five hundred years to ghettos, considering their different settings across the globe. He considers core questions of why and when urban, racial, and colonial ghettos have appeared, and who they contain. Exploring their various identities, he shows how different ghettos interrelate, or are contrasted, across time and space, or even in the same place.

Summary: Blackout: Candace Owens: Add-On: Black Lives Matter: The Shocking and Dark Truth

WARNING!: This is a Best Seller Summary and Analysis of BLACKOUT by Candace Owens. It is not the original book, nor intended to replace it. If you are a Democrat, don't read this book because you will learn many characteristics about your party that are embarrassingly despicable. Your party has historically exploited and constrained Blacks. If you want the truth or are a Republican or Independent, then this book and Candace Owen's book are must-reads-- so you can support conservative Blacks for 2020 and throughout life.The Democrat efforts are aimed to prevent Blacks from conquering the challenges of poverty. Black success means less power for the Democrats.She shares how she overcame obstacles and setbacks to beat the Democrat system designed to keep her down as a 'victim.' Government assistance, Ms. Owens argues, has a dark side and can take away motivation and independence. It results in Plantation Politics. She laments how the Democrats push for abortion has many adverse effects on Black communities-- beyond the murder of Black babies. She explains how the #MeToo movement is detrimental to Black males and Black communities in general.Taking a right turn in political identity will lead to a healthier, happier, more independent, and more successful life. 'What do you have to lose?' was what Trump as a candidate asked Blacks in regards to voting Republican. Nothing is the right answer--but with a whole lot to gain.Black Lives Matter: The Shocking and Dark Truth by Scott Campbell is an Add-On This book reveals BLM's dark truth, a feminist group whose idol and role model is Assata Shakur, a female felon, a convicted cop-killer, ex-Black Panther, and forty-year fugitive. It reveals how BLM was formed, the founders being recruited as mere puppets for larger, experienced anti-American and Black activist power groups. BLM represents the opposite of what Candace Owens and Black conservatives believe in for their role in America.One of these groups is FRSO or the Freedom Railroad Socialists Organization, which has Communist Chinese roots and those from Vietnam and Cuba when the New Communist Movement hit America.Black Lives Matters' short term goal, like Antifa, is to oust Trump, and their long-term goal is to overthrow the US government.Both are goon squads for higher-ups like George Soros and other globalist representatives.Included is a close look at the history of supremacist Black power movements, including the Black Panthers. Plotting to kill Whites, Jews, and police of all races, and overthrow the US government through war is nothing new for them.This book also details the history of the ideology that underlies both BLM and Antifa, communism, and in particular, Marxism. Communism can be viewed as a form of Satanism in that results are achieved by continuous destruction, much like Satan continuously tried to destroy God. These were the thoughts and inclinations of Adam Weishaupt and Karl Marx, who are the two authors considered the early founders of communist theory.
