Sinossi

What would you do if you suddenly lost everything? If the business you've put your heart and soul into is gone overnight? This question became a reality for many entrepreneurs whose businesses were destroyed during the looting of July 2021 in South Africa.
Alef Meulenberg travelled into the heart of townships like Alexandra in Johannesburg and the deep rural settings of KwaZulu-Natal to follow ten entrepreneurs who built businesses from nothing, nurtured and grew them over the years, only to lose everything during this time.
In The Overcomers Alef provides us with each of these entrepreneurs' stories – where they come from, what they do, what happened during the looting and how they recovered from such a devastating event. And, importantly, Alef writes about the dreams of these remarkable entrepreneurs and their plans to grow their businesses going forward.
These stories about hardship, resilience, determination and hope are the backdrop for valuable lessons for all of us, in both business and life.
Let's learn from those who have come out on the other side.
Let us learn from the overcomers.

    POWERFUL LEADERSHIP LESSONS FROM A TRAILBLAZING FEMALE COLONEL IN THE U.S. ARMY

 
When Jill Morgenthaler arrived at boot camp in 1975 as part of the inaugural class of women in the Army, she was one of 83 female cadets . . . on a base of 50,000 men. So she knows a thing or two about conquering obstacles.

 
In The Courage to Take Command, Colonel Morgenthaler provides invaluable leadership lessons drawn from her three decades of military service--from her first days in ROTC to combat in some of the world's most dangerous war zones. Ironically, the military taught her that leadership isn’t about "command and control." Rather, it requires a fine balance of reason and emotion, distance and familiarity, hard and soft power. Learn how to lead your team to success by:

 Being true to your vision--but being open to new ideas

Tackling obstacles head-on--but using finesse to arrive at solutions

Focusing on the mission--while protecting your people

Projecting strong leadership presence--but serving every member of your team, especially the weakest and most vulnerable

Maintaining team spirit--but refusing to tolerate mediocrity

Accepting and embracing your fears--but never letting them control you

Always having a plan--but also trusting your gut

Expressing a healthy self-confidence--with a side of humility



 
It took both a spine of steel and a smart sense of people for Morgenthaler to get where she did. Now she draws on the wisdom garnered from her experience to help you develop an authentic brand of leadership and succeed at all levels of any organization.

 
The Courage to Take Command provides the strategies and tactics you need to follow through with your leadership vision, inspire your team, and execute your mission-even when the odds may seem overwhelming.
