Our world has many obvious leaders: captains of industry, high-achieving academics, CEOs, statesmen, champion athletes. But we also depend on leaders whose work is usually not so visible. They are all around us, filling crucial roles at every level of society, in all kinds of organizations and in our communities, enriching the lives of those around them and making the world a better place. The Unknown Leader celebrates these leaders among us and invites you to join them. Hussein A. Al-Banawi shares the inspiring stories of some of today's Unknown Leaders and shows how they discovered their hidden talents through hard work, reflection and continual learning. He also recounts his own lifelong journey toward leadership and the invaluable lessons he gained from unusual friendships, daunting challenges, tough decisions, victories and defeats. And Al-Banawi explains the six crucial qualities every aspiring leader must develop, with specific advice about how to enhance these qualities in yourself. Whether you are a student, a mid-career professional, an entrepreneur, or anyone seeking a richer and fulfilling life, The Unknown Leader will be a powerful guide and companion in your own lifelong journey.

Recognizing that education systems have been temporarily paralyzed in the past and likely will in the future—whether it’s because of a natural disaster or a pandemic—this important volume offers critical insights about how schools can effectively carry forward the mission of educating all children even in the face of system turbulence and disruption. Featuring Narratives from expert leaders in urban, rural, and suburban school systems, this book explores important questions about the "new normal" such as the ways in which students can and should learn, how educators can teach and lead effectively, and how schools can carry out important functions beyond their instructional mission. Chapters present inspiring stories of leaders and teachers who have rallied, rebuilt, and problem-solved in face of the pandemic and amid adversity, ultimately providing a roadmap for how it’s possible to rebuild and adjust while preserving the fundamental core of education. Full of takeaways and first-hand insights into how systems and their schools faced turbulence, disruption, and adaptation, this book is a must-read for today’s educators committed to making a positive impact on the students they have the duty to serve.

This book focuses on "Organizational Intelligence" and its connection to the Three-Pillar Model, a framework developed by a global community of over 60 professionals from various sectors and published by Springer Nature. The model centers on three vital pillars for navigating the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world of organizational design and leadership: Sustainable Purpose, Travelling Organization, and Connectivity. At its core, the book features interviews with executive leaders, including those in the C-Suite, who have recently assumed new roles in new organizations or have done so in their careers. The interviews are diverse and anonymized to encourage candid responses. The book explores how these leaders quickly gain a comprehensive understanding of their organizations, with a focus on coping with change, transformation, sustainability, and UN SDG coverage. Offering real case study-based guidance, the book does not seek to provide a one-size-fits-all methodology but instead encourages readers to tailor its insights to their unique circumstances. It is a valuable resource for mentoring and coaching purposes.

In the annals of history, few events loom as large as the attack on Pearl Harbor and the fall of the Philippines during World War II. These pivotal moments, forever etched in the collective memory of nations, stand as stark reminders of the fragility of peace and the devastating consequences of strategic blunders. This book delves into the intricate tapestry of events that led to these twin disasters, unveiling the hidden truths and exposing the failures that paved the way for tragedy. Through meticulous research and expert analysis, it paints a vivid picture of the geopolitical landscape, diplomatic tensions, and military miscalculations that culminated in these fateful days. The attack on Pearl Harbor, a treacherous act of aggression, shattered the illusion of American isolationism and propelled the United States into the maelstrom of World War II. The fall of the Philippines, a valiant but ultimately doomed struggle, exposed the unpreparedness of Allied forces and the brutal realities of Japanese imperialism. Beyond the gripping narrative, this book offers a profound exploration of the human toll inflicted by these events. It delves into the stories of individual soldiers, sailors, airmen, and civilians, capturing their courage, resilience, and indomitable spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. This book is not merely a historical account; it is a cautionary tale, a reminder of the perils of complacency, the importance of vigilance, and the devastating consequences of underestimating one's adversaries. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope in the darkest of times. With its captivating narrative, thought-provoking insights, and meticulous attention to detail, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of one of the most pivotal conflicts in human history. It is a powerful reminder of the fragility of peace and the importance of learning from the mistakes of the past to ensure a more peaceful and secure future. If you like this book, write a review!
