The Power of Latino Leadership - Culture Inclusion and Contribution

Juana Bordas

Casa editrice: Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Sinossi

Embracing diversity, valuing people, taking action 
Over 50 million Latinos live in the United States, and it’s estimated that by 2050 one in three of the US population will be Hispanic. What does it take to lead such a varied and vibrant people who hail from twenty-two different countries and are a blend of different races? And what can leaders of all cultures and ethnicities learn from how Latinos lead? 

Juana Bordas takes us on a journey to the very heart and soul of Latino leadership. She offers ten principles that richly illustrate the inclusive, people-oriented, socially responsible, and life-affirming way Latinos have led their communities. Bordas includes the voices and experiences of other distinguished Latino leaders and vivid dichos (traditional sayings) that illustrate positive aspects of the Latino culture. This unprecedented book illustrates powerful and distinctive lessons that will inform leaders of every background. 

“America grows more diverse by the day. Leaders want to understand and motivate those they lead but may feel intimidated by the complex history and culture of Latinos in America. Juana Bordas has written a handbook for making sense of it all. The Power of Latino Leadership helps the reader decode the coming America and the changing workforce.” 
—Ray Suarez, Senior Correspondent, PBS News Hour, and former host, Talk of the Nation, NPR

“Bordas has mentored generations of young Hispanics throughout her distinguished career. [Here] she presents a compelling case for how the strengths Hispanics bring to the table…can infuse new life into leadership development for all of our country’s current and future leaders.”
—Janet Murguía, President, National Council of La Raza

“Juana Bordas provides timely insight into Latino contributions to our nation’s future and why their influence will continue to increase.”
—Arturo Vargas, Executive Director, National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials

“To develop a deeper appreciation for the countless contributions the Latino community is making to America’s multicultural leadership journey, read this book!”
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and Great Leaders Grow

Crossdressing Stories - The...

Hellen Heels

“Thank you, Alfred. That is very sweet of you.” 
“Please don’t mention.” 
“And Alfred?” 
“Yeah?” 
“Could you also assist me with something when you are coming over with the car?” 
“Sure. Anything.” 
“Anything?” 
“Yeah. What would you like me to assist you with?” 
She was smiling to herself now. “I wanted to get some items from the boutique. I don’t know if I could send you a list of them.” 
“A boutique?” 
“Yeah.” 
“What items would that be?” 
“Just some things a woman needs to put on every now and then.” 
“Okay, you mean like clothes?” 
“Yeah. Clothes. And cosmetics.” 
“I see. And you think I can do justice in shopping for them for you?” 
“Yeah, why not? I would send you the measurements and the sizes. Any boutique would be able to get them for you once you give them those measurements and sizes.” 
“I see. Okay, no problem then. Just send them to me.” 
She smiled. “That is very sweet of you, Alfred.”

Benito Mussolini - The Doctrine...

Benito Mussolini

“It’s better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.”

"I am the most terrible animal that's ever existed."

"Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice, it is a fallacy. You in America will see that someday."

"It's good to trust others but, not to do so is much better."

“I feel, when we have no friends upon whom to lean, or to look for moral guidance." (Mussolini)

Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, born on July 29, 1883, who went by the nickname “Il Duce” (“the Leader”), was a deeply unbalanced tyrannical Italian dictator who created the dreaded Fascist Party in 1919. Eventually, he held all power in Italy as the country’s prime minister from 1922 to 1943. An ardent socialist as a youth, Mussolini followed in his father's political footsteps but was expelled by the party for his overt support of World War I. As an evil dictator during World War II (even murdering his own son by lethal injection) he greatly overextended his forces and was eventually killed by his own people in Mezzegra, Italy. Here, for the first time, are the words of the great dictator himself in his twisted manifesto on the political movement he started and is still so feared to this very day.

In this dynamic audiobook, the specter of Benito Mussolini comes alive. Wrought in painstaking detail as to the historical and controversial nature of this work here is the larger-than-life presence of Il Duce (The Boss) who lorded over Italy as a ruthless dictator from 1925 to 1945. Here is the ultimate look at the life of one of the 20th century's most compelling and troubling figures. An amazing audiobook adventure from start to finish.

Taming Alexander

Leo Sparx

As this classic literature derived queer erotic romance continues, a new boy dwells within the House of Otter with Alexander. Adjusting to a life of extravagance and sexual discipline continues to thrill and trouble the young otter as fresh fantasies and furry men present themselves to satisfy his growing appetite for passionate submission. 
Battling the expected trades Alexander must make for his recently satiated need of financial security, he learns more about the inner-workings and secrets of the mysterious estate and the magical ties which reward obedience. 
As he explores his relationship with each gay man and how it corolates with his past as a husler, a discovery within the mansion may help him understand more about his keeper and the seemingly magical house he now calls home. What he finds among the secret doors and hidden rooms will reveal a history that will impact every otter’s future. 
With just as many jockstraps, furry otter boys, Daddy and boy dynamics, CBT, bondage equipment, fetish gear, power exchange, and mystical forbidden fantasies; this second book promises to be equally sinister and kinky as the first, but with even more dark deception. 
It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist! 
This MM BDSM Paranormal Dark Erotic Romance takes consent seriously. No otter boys were harmed (unless they wanted to be) in the writing of this book.*

The Price of Paradise - The...

David Dante Troutt

American communities are facing chronic problems: fiscal stress, urban decline, environmental sprawl, mass incarceration, political isolation, disproportionate foreclosures and severe public health risks. In The Price of Paradise, David Troutt argues that it is a lack of mutuality in our local decision making that has led to this looming crisis facing cities and local governments.          Arguing that there are structural flaws in the American dream, Troutt investigates the role that place plays in our thinking and how we have organized our communities to create or deny opportunity. Legal rules and policies that promoted mobility for most citizens simultaneously stifled and segregated a growing minority by race, class and—most importantly—place.              A conversation about America at the crossroads, The Price of Paradise is a multilayered exploration of the legal, economic and cultural forces that contribute to the squeeze on the middle class, the hidden dangers of growing income and wealth inequality and the literature on how growth and consumption patterns are environmentally unsustainable.
