Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Every organization has heroes the people who stay late, solve the impossible problem, rescue the schedule, fix the machine, and somehow save the day.But what happens when an organization needs heroes just to function The Heroics Wheel: How Great Leaders Replace Heroics with Capability challenges the belief that extraordinary individual effort is always a sign of organizational strength. Sometimes, repeated heroics are evidence of something very different: weak systems, hidden problems, concentrated knowledge, and dependency on a handful of people who continually carry the organization across the finish line.Drawing on more than thirty-five years of leadership, Lean thinking, manufacturing experience, and lessons from people who performed when the stakes were highest, Dennis Jarrett explores why organizations become trapped in cycles of firefighting-and how leaders can break those cycles.Through stories, practical leadership lessons, and the Heroics Wheel framework, readers will learn how to: - Recognize when heroism has become organizational dependency- Identify where capability truly lives- Expose the hidden cost of workarounds and firefighting- Shift leadership from rescuing to teaching and developing others- Build standards and systems that survive pressure- Create organizations capable of succeeding without depending on a few indispensable peopleThe Heroics Wheel is not about eliminating heroes.It is about changing what heroes do.Instead of repeatedly saving the organization, great leaders turn experience into standards, knowledge into shared capability, and individual expertise into organizational strength.Because heroics are not the disease. They are the symptom.And the ultimate measure of leadership is not how often people need you.It is how well they succeed when you're gone.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Lean RangerMost plants do not fail all at once.They drift.A pallet left too long in an aisle. A machine operators no longer trust. A safety guard tied shut because production cannot stop. Long before the numbers turn red, the floor is already telling the truth.Ray Donavan's plant is losing money, missing targets, and edging toward consolidation. Corporate wants answers. Finance wants savings. Everyone has a theory except the people carrying the operation through another shift.Then the Ranger arrives.Part mentor, part operator, part old-school leader, the Lean Ranger does not begin with reports or PowerPoint slides. He walks the floor. He watches. He listens. What he finds is not a workforce failing the system, but a system slowly teaching good people how to fail.Blending leadership, Lean thinking, operational reality, and human storytelling, The Lean Ranger is more than a business book. It is a story about culture, fear, accountability, trust, and the hidden signals every organization gives before collapse becomes unavoidable.For leaders, supervisors, operators, and anyone responsible for improving performance without sacrificing people, this book offers a different view of operational excellence: The floor always tells the truth.The question is whether leadership is willing to hear it.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Emma Anderson Carter thought combining both families for one Christmas would be an easy way to save money. Instead, she gets a holiday she was nowhere near prepared for.The Andersons have celebrated the same way forever: a big family crowd, church, organized games, and exactly three gifts each-because that's what Jesus got.The Carters? Not even close.They roll in with a car bursting with presents, mountains of baked goods "for the needy," two untrained dogs, and Hippie Uncle Chris-who walks in burning sage and searching for "the emotional energy center of the house."To the Andersons, Christmas is traditional, structured, and very sacred. To the Carters, it's loud, generous, wildly decorated, and unapologetically extra.Inside, the families clash over what "real Christmas" should look like. Outside, the Carters ignite a not-so-friendly decorating war with the Andersons' competitive neighbors-turning the quiet street into a blinding, inflatable battlefield.As tempers rise and lights short-circuit, everyone must decide what matters more: winning Christmas. or sharing it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Some dangers come from outside the house.In Dennis Jarrett's life, danger walked down the hallway.Sleepwalking wasn't a funny childhood phase in Dennis's family. It was an inheritance.As a boy, Dennis watched his father wander the house between asleep and awake-sometimes mumbling, sometimes searching for threats only he could see, and once unlocking a gun cabinet in the middle of the night to hunt an "animal" in his son's room. Years later, Dennis became a sleepwalker himself.From leaping out of camper bunks and climbing invisible trees to patrolling hallways like he was still overseas, Dennis's nights turned into unpredictable terrain. The most terrifying moment came as an adult when he woke mid-episode with a loaded .357 pointed at someone he loved. That was the night he realized he wasn't just a protector. In his sleep, he could become the danger.In Marked by the Night, Dennis Jarrett blends suspense, dark humor, and heartfelt honesty to tell the story of a family marked by sleepwalking across two generations. Along the way, he wrestles with questions that will resonate with anyone affected by sleep disorders: - Is this inherited-or triggered by stress and exhaustion?- Why do some people sleepwalk while others don't?- How do families live with something that's frightening and sometimes funny at the same time?- And why did it all suddenly stop after a lifetime of chaos?Both gripping and deeply human, this memoir is about more than sleepwalking. It's about the unsung heroes who stay awake, the thin line between safety and danger, and the grace that sometimes arrives quietly when the night finally lets go.If you or someone you love sleepwalks-or if you've ever felt like you were fighting battles no one else could see-this story will help you feel less alone, give you a reason to laugh, and remind you there is real hope for quieter nights.
