This book is the story of my life, a lady who grew up on a small farm in the Deep South, and how I was able to reach the top of my career field, serving as a two-star general at the Pentagon. Women have served, both in and out of uniform, in defense of this country since the beginning of our nation. Serving the United States Air Force in uniform was my career choice. This book is an outgrowth of the review of publicity surrounding my military career, both active and reserves, and follow-on civilian career, and of the inventory of the more than 100 speeches I gave when I reached the top of my career field. Audiences in the 1980s and 90s were surprised to learn of the original roadblocks, both laws and policies, which precluded me, a woman, from setting goals at the beginning of my military journey in 1960 to reach the level to which I finally achieved during my career in uniform. All I had when in uniform were male mentors, because there were no females to which I could look for guidance and success stories. Indeed, my accomplishments led to the glass ceiling being opened wide for the other ladies who came after me and were recognized for their ability and talents to serve and excel at higher levels of leadership. Friends who know of my accomplishments implored me to put pen to paper to show how I, as a young girl could -with hard work, tenacity, stick-to-it-iveness and using lessons learned in early years -propel myself to the forefront, leading to success. Come with me as I take you back to the beginning, to my first role models: my mother and father who set examples for me and taught me lessons that would propel me even further than a little 1940's farm girl from Oakman, Alabama could have imagined. I hope you'll be inspired to see where my dreams took me, finding love, heartbreak, adventure and prestige along the way.

Our colleges and universities are being led in large part by baby boomers who are now in later midlife. Huge numbers of those middle-aged leaders will retire within the next 10 years. While we know that being in later midlife and impending retirement must influence a person in a leadership position at an institution of higher learning, we don’t really understand how. This book is based upon an empirical study that linked higher education leadership to one aspect of midlife known as generativity. This psychosocial phenomenon was described by Erik Erikson as a desire that peaks in midlife to leave something for future generations before one dies. Generativity typically manifests itself in the legacy one intends to leave. The author of this book has completed a multiple case study of women who are in later midlife and who hold high-level leadership positions at an institution of higher learning. In this work, she shares more than has ever been known about the nature, antecedents, and support of generativity in the leadership of female higher education leaders in midlife.

Whatever your position, if you influence change in the lives of those around you, you are engaged in an act of leadership. And if you are a leader in any sense, you are creating a legacy as you live your daily life. Your leadership legacy is the sum total of the difference you make in people's lives, directly and indirectly, formally and informally. Will you consciously craft your legacy or simply leave it up to chance? What can you do to create a positive, empowering legacy that will endure and inspire?Your Leadership Legacy, the latest volume in the popular Ken Blanchard Series, is a parable that challenges leaders to take responsibility for the lasting impact their actions can have, for better or for worse. The authors spent five years speaking to a cross-section of men and women form all walks of life, asking them who had left an indelible impression in their lives and, more importantly, why. They drew on his research to develop three Leadership Imperatives that any leader can follow to create a lasting positive legacy. They reveal these imperatives through the story of Doug Roman. Doug is a brash, 30-something CEO, heir-apparent to a company called Mooseland Stoneware. He assumes he will just waltz into the job after the death of the former CEO, his beloved Aunt Nan. But Aunt Nan has a posthumous surprise for him. She leaves behind a detailed letter telling him that he must first embark on a journey to learn the leadership imperatives that will prepare him to live his leadership legacy. He can only become CEO if six months later, Mooseland's board unanimously agrees that he as indeed understood and begun to master these leadership imperatives. As readers accompany Doug, they learn that leaving a lasting legacy is about more than just professional values-they must demonstrate them by the way they live. While there are many books that help leaders define their values, there is little written to help them figure out how to live them courageously. Your Leadership Legacy shows leaders that the legacy they live is the legacy they leave."Your Leadership Legacy provides you with sound advice in helping make your life one that is whole, meaningful, and memorable. Read it, then read it again." -Harry Paul, co-author, FISH!: A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results

FINISHING WELL Finishing Well is the third and final book in our Well Trilogy, which focuses on establishing our legacy in later years. Finishing Well gives the reader an opportunity to assess ultimate contributions while navigating necessary transitions in life and leadership in order to establish a lasting legacy. This book is designed to integrate Biblical leadership principals, lessons, and examples with real life experiences to help the reader better understand the dynamics and challenges of growing older and navigating the end game in such a way that they do not hinder God's ultimate purposes for their lives. To put it simply, we want to help older (50- 60s) men and women who have started well, lived and lead well to finish well and leave a lasting legacy for God's glory, their fulfillment, and the next generation's benefit. Our focus in this book is finishing well. Our goals include: 1. Providing an overview of the leadership "landscape" of getting older so that you can anticipate challenges and opportunities in order to cooperate with God in his purposes. 2. Providing Biblical insight and opportunities to examine your spiritual formation and foundation as they relate to moral, relational, and faith barriers that if not dealt with can lead to burnout, blowout, or plateauing. 3. Ministering to your inner life as well as providing information about convergence and afterglow as you prepare to finish well and establish your lasting legacy. 4. Providing Biblical and real life insights and examples for navigating the challenges and embracing the opportunities of end game growth and ministry. It is our desire that Finishing Well will be a blessing to you. How our life and leadership ends, how we make critical transitions to empower the next generation of leaders, and the quality of relationships we have will determine how we finish and the quality of our legacy.

The Hidden Legacy: Unveiling the Rise of Freemasons" is a captivating exploration into one of the world's most enigmatic secret societies. Freemasonry, shrouded in mystery and intrigue, has captured the imagination of countless individuals throughout history. From its ancient origins to its influence on world events, this book takes readers on an illuminating journey through the hidden corridors of Freemasonry. In this comprehensive and meticulously researched work, we delve into the origins of Freemasonry, tracing its roots back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Babylon. We uncover the symbolism embedded within Masonic rituals, deciphering their hidden meanings and shedding light on the symbolism's significance in the Masonic brotherhood. The book reveals the secrets of Masonic lodges, the epicenters of Masonic activity. These sanctuaries of knowledge and fraternity have served as gathering places for Freemasons, where they have shared wisdom, engaged in intellectual discourse, and strengthened their bonds of brotherhood. As we explore the rise of Freemasonry, we encounter its profound impact on history and society. From the Age of Enlightenment, where Freemasonry played a pivotal role in promoting rationality and scientific progress, to the American Revolution, where Freemasons contributed to the birth of a nation, the influence of this secret society is both far-reaching and intriguing. "The Hidden Legacy" also shines a light on the role of women in Freemasonry. Traditionally an all-male fraternity, we explore the evolution of Freemasonry's stance on gender inclusion and the emergence of female-led Masonic orders, breaking the long-held barriers within the brotherhood. Throughout the pages of this book, we encounter the famous Freemasons who have left an indelible mark on history. From influential leaders and intellectuals to renowned artists and musicians, their membership in the brotherhood shaped their lives and legacies. However, no exploration of Freemasonry is complete without addressing the controversies and conspiracy theories surrounding this secretive organization. We delve into the most pervasive myths and examine the evidence, allowing readers to separate fact from fiction and draw their conclusions. "The Hidden Legacy: Unveiling the Rise of Freemasons" aims to provide a balanced and informative account of Freemasonry, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of this enigmatic fraternity. By peeling back the layers of secrecy, we invite readers to explore the multifaceted world of Freemasonry and gain insight into its historical significance, influence on society, and enduring legacy.

"Women Leaders at Work traces the personal life decisions taken by women who found ways to achieve greatness in their work. Each story is intriguing. But, collectively, the stories provide inspiration. They illustrate how real women of varied talents from varied backgrounds traversed quite different paths, seized opportunities presented in many guises, and found ways to achieve and to contribute to society. Elizabeth Ghaffari relates these stories with an unerring instinct to reveal the fascinating, personal dimensions of real women." Anita K. Jones, University Professor Emerita, University of Virginia "Women Leaders at Work shines a light on women. Today's leaders who are women, who are changing our world, even as examples, inspire young women who are our leaders of the future. Great book!" Frances Hesselbein, President & CEO,Leader to Leader Institute, New York, NY "The stories of each of these amazing women read like novels -- humble beginnings, triumphs, failures, incredible determination and resourcefulness, overcoming the familiar obstacles facing women in the workplace. But these stories are true, and they inspire us. There are many more stories out there, but thanks to Elizabeth Ghaffari, we are privileged to share these few. Groundbreaking women, groundbreaking book." Judith M. Runstad, Attorney, FOSTER PEPPER PLLC,Seattle, WA "I have read many books on leadership and women leaders, and Elizabeth Ghaffari’s book rises to the top for me. The in-depth interviews provide insight into leadership in general, issues unique to women, as well as an insider’s view into a broad array of industries. Women Leaders at Work highlights superb women leaders, beyond the "usual suspects," many of whom you may never have otherwise come to know." Cathy Sandeen, Ph.D., MBA, Dean, UCLA Extension, University of California, Los Angeles "In her newest book, Elizabeth Ghaffari has scouted out exceptional women who started in small, but courageous ways to follow unique visions. These women achieved positions of influence and power, but their routes to success were never straight-lined. They endured digressions and embraced change. They navigated the intricacies of corporations, academia, non-profits, and the fields of science and technology. They speak with their own voices about their lives and motivation and tell their stories with modesty and encouragement to other women who may want to lead and serve." Mary S. Metz, Ph.D., President Emerita, Mills College "Women Leaders at Work is filled from cover-to-cover with stories about the lives of extraordinary women who are in leadership today. Elizabeth Ghaffari uses her exceptional interviewing talents to ask the right questions to elicit memorable lessons that are inspiring, uplifting and educational. Each of the eighteen chapters focuses on the life and career path of a fascinating, accomplished woman. Ghaffari illustrates that breakthrough success can occur in a myriad of fields from medicine, law, academia, government, public corporations, science and philanthropy. It is not necessary to stay on a narrow hierarchical career path. In fact, none of these champions followed career paths that were straight-line trajectories. 'We often have to be re-potted to grow' and 'Don’t leave the power of a corporation just because you want to change the world. Harness it,' are two of the many memorable lessons. Women Leaders at Work is filled with important wisdom and advice for past, present and future leaders. I highly recommend this book for men and women of all ages and interests!" Susan Murphy, Ph.D, noted author, speaker, business consultant, www.Consult4Business.com "Ghaffari's Women Leaders at Work captures diverse personal stories of trailblazing women who share candid experiences including career challenges. It is clear that much more than mentoring matters -- sponsorship is key." Linda Griego, President & CEO, Griego Enterprises, Inc. In Women Leaders at Work, skilled interviewer Elizabeth Ghaffari speaks to women at or near the top of their professions in a wide array of fields. In part, the book focuses on how they did it: how they prepared, how they overcame obstacles, how they achieved major milestones, and how they took the unconventional turn in the career path that made all the difference. Each chapter is also a gem that contains invaluable insights into gaining and using power responsibly. Every interview shows how female leaders make a difference on a day-to-day basis: charting strategy, managing senior managers and key partners, allocating resources, influencing stakeholders and the public, handling internal problems and competitive challenges, launching initiatives, or pouncing on opportunities the rest of us can’t see. This book, like the others in the bestselling Apress At Work series, provides readers with a range of examples and experiences they can use to achieve their own goals. It details key actions or decisions that will help women reach the C-level, win public office, or achieve professional recognition and status. By tapping the wisdom and astute advice of contemporary women in leadership, Women Leaders at Work provides an up-to-date guide for ambitious women seeking professional success.
