Tradition Meets Transformation: Leadership Strategies to Revitalize Manufacturing

In a world of evolving competition, economic challenges, and technological advancements, the success of North American manufacturing hinges on one critical element: leadership. In Tradition Meets Transformation, authors Laurie Harbour and Scott Walton emphasize the pivotal role of leadership in driving transformation and generational improvement within the industry. Using extensive research and their combined years of experience in the industry, Harbour and Walton explore the five key areas impacting manufacturing enterprises—operations, labor, commercial strategies, vision and strategy, and technology—and underscore the need for effective leadership in revolutionizing the industry. Manufacturing leaders urgently need to keep up with competition, economics, and technology while preserving practical expertise as retiring leaders take valuable knowledge with them. Without this shift in leadership and the transfer of knowledge, the North American manufacturing industry is at risk of disappearing. Failure to adapt with the next generation will jeopardize its survival in a dynamic global economy. But by taking the right actions, initiatives, and practices, the industry can reclaim its innovative spirit. This book serves as a call to action, urging transformation, recovery, and the revival of the pioneering spirit that defined North American manufacturing. The time to nurture the next generation of leaders and shift our collective mindset is now. In doing so, we can ensure a prosperous future for this vital sector.

Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement

When Ashley Shew became a self-described 'hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus,' there was no returning to 'normal.' Suddenly well-meaning people called her an 'inspiration' while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want-nor are they generally asked. In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate 'technoableism'-the harmful belief that technology is a 'solution' for disability; that the disabled simply await being 'fixed' by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled-whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

Higher Power: An American Town’s Story of Faith, Hope, and Nuclear Energy

Nuclear power once promised to be the solution to the world's energy crisis, but that all changed in the late twentieth century after multiple high-profile accidents and meltdowns. Power plant workers, finding themselves the subject of public opposition, became leery of reporters. But one plant in Zion, Illinois, allowed unrestricted access to one journalist: the Chicago Tribune's Casey Bukro. Bukro spent two years inside the Zion nuclear plant, interviewing employees, witnessing high-risk maintenance procedures, and watching the radiation exposure counter on his own dosimeter tick up and up. In Higher Power, Bukro's reporting from the plant is prefaced by a compelling history of the city of Zion, including a tell-all of John Alexander Dowie, a nineteenth-century 'faith healer' who founded Zion, and whose evangelism left a mark on the city well into the modern era, even as a new 'higher' power-nuclear energy-moved into town. With the acceleration of climate change, the questions and challenges surrounding nuclear power have never been more relevant. Should we try to address the mistakes made in the past? What part could nuclear power play in our energy future? Higher Power explores these questions and examines one American town's attempts to build a better society as a bellwether for national policy and decision making.
