  Words on Fire - The Power of...

  This book is about the power of communication to do great harm and how civic leaders and engaged citizens can hold other leaders accountable to prevent it. Author Helio Fred Garcia focuses on the language President Trump uses that conditions an audience to accept, condone, and commit violence against a targeted group, rival, or critic.Including a history of such rhetoric, this book identifies a playbook consisting of twelve forms of communication that typically precede genocides and other acts of mass violence. The Rwandan Hutu used ten, the Nazis used all twelve, and Trump uses all twelve too. Such language triggers lone wolves to commit violence. Since 9/11, the use of rhetoric that provokes violence has been known as “stochastic terrorism,” a phrase that can be confusing and make discussion difficult. Garcia suggests a more accessible name: lone-wolf whistle violence, on the model of “dog whistle” politics. He draws on the most recent scholarship on lone wolves, their mindset, and what it takes to activate them to commit violence, demonstrating how Trump’s increasingly dangerous rhetoric throughout his campaign and first term has motivated such individuals. He also describes the changes in the nation’s political culture and media that led to Trump’s nomination and presidency but also profiles leaders who dialed back their rhetoric when it was shown to put people’s lives in danger. Words on Fire closes with a call to action: we all—civic leaders, engaged citizens, journalists, and public officials—must recognize this phenomenon so that we can take steps to hold our leaders accountable in the future.

  The problem that lot of us IT managers run into is that we have a tendency to get all caught up in trying to manage the issues that are before us. What this means is that we tend to neglect the so-called "big picture" and this is a problem because that's where our IT manager career lives…
  What You'll Find Inside: 
  HOW TO PROTECT YOUR IT CAREER FROM SABOTAGE
  WHOOPS – YOU’VE BEEN REORGANIZED IT LEADER!
  WHAT CAN TOP ATHLETES TEACH YOU ABOUT BEING A BETTER IT LEADER?
  3 SECRETS THAT EVERY IT LEADER NEEDS TO KNOW
  In the big picture, we may believe that everyone that we work with "has our back". However, the sad reality of life is that this is not the case. We need to have the skills and awareness to be looking out for people who want to sabotage our careers. We can learn what it takes to strive for greatness as a leader by listening to what athletes can tell us. However, we're going to need to be prepared to roll with the punches if the company decides to reorganize and we get put into a different position.
  We always have to be on the lookout for that next job. If we want to keep our job search secret, then we'll need some help in figuring out what we'll need to do. Perhaps getting an executive MBA might help us in our job search.
  There will be times in which we make mistakes. Depending on how big our mistake was, we'll need to know what steps we need to take now in order to deal with the results of our actions. In order to keep our jobs, we will always have to be developing new skills. In our case, this can include learning how to make better presentations and how to use a color wheel in order to make better looking slides to go along with our presentations. 
  There is always a chance that no matter how hard we try, we may end up getting laid off some day. The good news is that they is not the end of the world for us. What we need to understand is what outplacement services will be made available to us and how we can best make use of them.
