Summary

Instability, disturbance, emergence, networks, informal learning, trial, error, adaptability, low growth, fluctuation and momentum – these are the experiences that dominate the lives of today’s business leaders. There is a growing awareness that the old industrial constructs of detailed planning, perfection and process are no longer working as effectively as we might wish in our large, established organizations.This book is a challenge to the way we relate to each other and lead businesses in the post-industrial age; it is full of passionate stories, reflections and insights. The writing inspires the practice of alternative forms of courage, acceptance of our imperfections and new methods of contact with each other as we navigate the changing nature of the workplace.

    John Berra is no stranger to turning giants. As someone who spent over three decades in the automation community, Berra knows what it’s like to confront major obstacles and leverage then to his advantage. For example, in the mid-1990s, Berra was faced with a unique challenge. The automation industry was at a crossroads, and as President of Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Berra could have played it safe and maintained business as usual. But doing so would have ensured companies like Honeywell would have gained the upper hand. Instead, Berra focused on developing a revolutionary operating system named DeltaV. And in doing so, he led Fisher-Rosemount Systems to disrupt an entire industry. Moves like this set Berra apart from his competitors. On one hand, Berra is one of the most intelligent innovators of his era and there is a reason Intech Magazine named him one of the fifty most influential industry innovators ever. That said, Berra was also incredibly practical and willing to take his share of calculated risks. Because Berra believed is disruptive innovation, he was able to turn giants others were not willing to touch.

    There's No Crying in Newsrooms tells the stories of remarkable women who broke through barrier after barrier at media organizations around the country over the past four decades. They started out as editorial assistants, fact checkers, and news secretaries and ended up running multi-million-dollar news operations that determine a large part of what Americans read, view, and think about the world. These women, who were calling in news stories while in labor and parking babies under their desks, never imagined that forty years later young women entering the news business would face many of the same battles they did—only with far less willingness to put up and shut up. 
    The female pioneers in There's No Crying in Newsrooms have many lessons to teach about what it takes to succeed in media or any other male-dominated organization, and their message is more important now than ever before.
