    Wit, wisdom, and revelations from sixty years of life on the road. 
    Driving one highway after another at sunrise, winding through the mountainside, hearing the call to rise of the roosters, or simply exchanging "fishing stories" with the other guys at the truck stops. Like that one about the trucker who stopped along the highway and helped a little old lady who had a flat tire. By the time the trucker had told his tale a dozen times, the simple tire change story turned into one where an old lady was accompanied by her gorgeous, blond, and twenty-one-year-old granddaughter—you know how that ends. Imagine the story traded from one driver to the next. Each time, a more outrageous yarn is spun. 
    They say that only truck drivers experience the true grandeur and landscape of America. In A Trucker's Tale, Ed Miller gives an inside look at the allure of the work and the colorful characters who haul our goods on the open road. He shares what it was like to grow up in a trucking family, his experience as an equipment officer in Vietnam, and the trials and tribulations of life as a trucker. His tales are often funny, sometimes sad, cringeworthy, or unbelievable. Many are the results of what he calls, "just plain stupidity." Together they paint a compelling portrait of a vibrant but little-known industry, and reveal why he just kept on truckin'.

    In times of organizational chaos, we look to leaders to guide us with focus, clarity, and calmness. From a global pandemic, economic crisis, and deepening socio-political discourse leaders have faced a constant barrage of chaos and uncertainty. How does a leader deal with turbulent issues in today's rapid fast-changing environment? How does a leader apply one's unique leadership composition to the organizational uncertainty and chaos of the day? How do you lead oneself during times of uncertain and complex public and private sector situations? How does a leader lead with little to no authority in a fluid and unpredictable context? Research shows that leading and leadership in today's organizations where events are disruptive, uncertain, and fluid requires new approaches and a different mindset. This editorial scholarship explores not only theoretical leadership constructs and experiences of public and private servants in uncertain and complex environments but also presents innovative leadership frameworks for future leaders. Given the rapid technological changes and impact of COVID 19 on the operational environment, this research is urgently needed for business and leadership scholar-practitioners to understand how organizational chaos from uncertain and complex situations is a gift.

    In The Cult of We (2021), Eliot Brown and Maureen Farrell detail the different forms of corruption that took hold of WeWork, the once-heralded office rental company, including reckless spending, unprofessional behavior, lack of organization, and constant changes of executives and managers and their responsibilities. The work environment was challenging, especially for women, and there were large-scale firings. 
    Years after its incorporation, WeWork, guzzling through billions and billions of dollars, remained a giant mystery hidden behind the ambitions, greed, and ego of its founder and CEO Adam Neumann, the self-titled visionary who took a simple New York startup and crashed it into a mountain. In the end, he got paid to simply walk away from the mess he had created.
