Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The success of today's military officers rests squarely on the shoulders of the men and women of the past. In Striving for Perfection, author Gerald D. Curry, a former US Army colonel, reaches back through the annals of history to help today's professional military officers navigate a successful career. Curry shares rarely known insights on historical accomplishments from every major war in US history, from the Revolutionary War through the Global War on Terrorism. He pulls unique examples of success strategies, cultural understandings, and sage advice from African American servicemen and women who have worn the uniform.Striving for Perfection goes beyond the typical leadership principles by offering significant experiences told from an African American perspective-from the only people deliberately brought to America for the sole purpose of servitude. Curry shows how black American patriots consistently looked beyond their current circumstances and served gallantly while seeking equality and social justice. This guide describes the barriers that have existed within most African American communities, and it narrates how these neighborhoods continually birth great leaders. Although geared toward military professionals, Striving for Perfection can help all leaders in any profession who supervise and work with African Americans. Introducing proven success strategies, it provides a better understanding of diversity and inclusion.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Trooper Harold S. Cole offers rare insights into America's past by highlighting the tumultuous and triumphant history of the Buffalo Soldier. Growing up in North Pelham, New York, he started his military career prior to the start of World War II, and completed his service during the years of the Vietnam War. We Can, We Will, Ready and Forward are the tenets of the famed 9th and 10th Cavalry respectively, and served as Trooper Cole's motivation in life. He is more than a military man, he is a leader, disciplinarian, husband, father, and served as President for the Ninth and Tenth (Horse) Cavalry Association from 1997 to 2001. His commitment to community service and youth development establishes a foundation for future generations.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Striving For Perfection: Developing Professional Black Officers, targets today's Black military Company Grade officers and introduces success strategies that will fulfill learning deficits not covered in pre-commissioning training. Lets face it, life for Black men and women living in America is different than that of many of your White peers. The greatest difference is, the past of our people. Black people alone are the only people that were brought to America for the purpose of servitude, and subjected to harsh treatment and denied normal equalities that were commonplace for Whites. It is vital to learn how to tap into this resource, the strength of our past and allowing their accomplishments to serve as a catalyst to empower you to action by encouraging you by the tremendous achievement in spite of overcoming what most would call insurmountable odds. Learning your past will change the way you think about current events, and critical issues facing today's leaders, to include examples on how to move ahead. Many of our officers are either first or second generation college graduates, and still refining professionalism and creating a legacy of success for your family. Your White peers on the other-hand may have four or more generations of college graduates and may come from a legacy of professional military officers dating back to the Civil War, if not further. This book does not pit Blacks against Whites by addressing our differences, but tends to suggest and focus on our commonalities and similarities. One of the greatest assets America has is our diversity, and it is time to start developing strategies to build on this important trait. It is okay to be racially different, but what the military needs is professional officers that can find strength in our differences and use these differences for our collective improvement. The world is much more complicated and intellectually dynamic than when our ancestors lived, and if we are going to be prepared to face the many challenges that will confront us, we must learn how to tap into our past and use this knowledge to gain the advantages required of all military officers.…
