Drawing from personal experiences growing up in a rural community, Wendell B. Sumter reflects on the lessons learned along the "dirt roads" of life-places where character is formed, resilience is tested, and faith becomes the foundation for moving forward. Through stories of challenge, loss, mentorship, and leadership, he reveals how obstacles can become opportunities for growth and how difficult seasons often prepare us for greater purpose.
Blending personal narrative with practical leadership insights, Dirt Road Destiny encourages readers to rethink how they view their own beginnings. Sumter introduces principles such as Win Them Over (WTO)-a framework for building trust, influence, and authentic leadership in every sphere of life.
This book is more than a memoir. It is an invitation for readers-whether leaders, educators, professionals, or individuals navigating their own journeys-to recognize that where you start does not determine where you finish. With faith, resilience, and intentional leadership, even the roughest roads can lead to a destiny filled with purpose and impact.

From Humble Beginnings to Resilient Leadership

Dirt Road Destiny

A USA Today Bestseller. A dramatic new future of work in which managers assemble exactly the expertise they need—within minutes. 2026 PROSE Award Winner: Business, Finance, and Management "If you’ve ever wished you could assemble your version of The Avengers at work, this book will help you make it happen.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking Gone are the days of static organizational charts and staffing based on the manager’s rolodex and intuition. Now you can recruit any expertise you need from a global online network within minutes: an on-demand, on-the-spot expert at the exact moment that you need their help. You can right-size their involvement, too; some of those experts give a second opinion or a moment of brainstorming, whereas others join as full-fledged team members for a sustained collaborative effort. This is the future promised by flash teams, a model that The New York Times has already praised for its “revolutionary potential”: a world where experts are available anytime and everywhere, where remote work has become a norm, and where AI is in the loop to guide team decisions. In Flash Teams, award-winning management scholar Melissa Valentine and computer scientist Michael Bernstein chart the opportunities of flash teams and navigate the challenges that teams and managers will face. They distill lessons from their own work assembling and managing flash teams on demand that every manager can learn from so they can successfully use flash teams in their own organizations. Drawing on original research and industry examples, this book will help readers to: <ul><li>Recognize and source needed expertise within minutes</li><li>Anticipate and plan team designs with AI</li><li>Redesign team structures on the fly as projects evolve</li></ul> Industries are already being transformed by this new approach to teaming. Flash Teams arms leaders, managers, and entrepreneurs with the tools they need to accomplish their goals with confidence, speed, and agility.

Leading the Future of AI-Enhanced, On-Demand Work

Flash Teams

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Unlock Your Unique Edge and Transform Your World of Work

Leadership is not about rank, title, or authority. It is about responsibility, trust, consistency, and the way you take care of the people around you.

In today's fast-paced corporate landscape, true leadership is harder to find than ever. Too many modern environments focus on metrics over morale, leaving teams disconnected, disengaged, and burnt out. But real success doesn't come from pushing people to their limits-it comes from lifting them up. Take Care of Your People: And They Will Take Care of You bridges the gap between elite military execution and everyday corporate strategy. Drawing on the time-tested leadership principles of the United States Marine Corps, author LaCell Sherman delivers a practical, battle-tested framework for building high-performing teams rooted in trust, discipline, and mutual respect. Whether you are an executive managing a large corporation, a new supervisor stepping into a management role for the first time, or a team leader aiming to boost accountability, this book provides the definitive roadmap to leading with purpose. What You Will Discover Inside:
Building Team Trust: How to build psychological safety and unshakeable loyalty within your team.
How To Set The Standard: Translating elite military leadership traits into practical, everyday business strategies.
How To Create Clear Direction: Strategies for making clear, timely choices when the stakes are high and pressure is mounting.
Leading by Example: How to model the discipline, integrity, and accountability you expect to see in your staff.
How To Serve The Team: Shifting your perspective from being served by your team to serving them well.



Why This Book? Leadership is not a title you are simply handed; it is an action you must demonstrate every single day. This book challenges you to step up, abandon rigid corporate hierarchies, and focus on what truly drives results: your people.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRACTICE

From Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes, comes a smart, timely, clear-eyed guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and when the shortcut costs more than it saves. You already know how to go fast. What nobody taught you is when not to. In ASAP: As SLOW As Possible, Ann Handley rebels against the false urgency baked into modern work and life—and shows you how to recognize Slowments: the moments when slowing down is not weakness, hesitation, or delay. It's the smarter move. Because when everyone has access to the same shortcuts, the real edge is knowing when not to take them. With research, brain science, vivid storytelling, and Handley’s signature wit, ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals the hidden speed traps that weaken our judgment, creativity, and original thinking—especially in an age when AI makes the fastest path feel like the smartest one—and gives you a practical way to know when speed is serving you and when it’s taking you farther from what matters. You'll discover: <ul><li>The Hasty Progress Illusion—why motion can feel like mastery, even when nothing lasting is taking hold</li><li>The ASAP Matrix—how to know exactly when to autopilot, when to pause, and when a moment deserves more of you</li><li>The six Slowments in life and in work—the pivotal moments when slowing down changes what happens next</li><li>How to protect your judgment in a world eager to outsource it</li><li>When choosing analog leads to sharper ideas, wiser decisions, more creative approaches, stronger relationships, and meaningful work</li><li>How to stop confusing speed with progress—and start choosing the pace the moment actually requires</li></ul> ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals slowness as a generative force and for the first time gives you a way to harness life’s most important slow moments. Not by doing less, opting out, or becoming the kind of person who ferments things in a shed. But by knowing when speed helps—and when it hollows out the very thing you hoped it would serve. It’s time to choose the long road when the shortcut costs too much.

Incremental Safety Practices provides a systematic account of practical projects and programmes that have contributed ensuring that every-day work goes well. It illustrates the benefits of an incremental safety approach that unites concerns for productivity and safety, rather than juxtaposing them, and relates practical experiences from managing complex industrial and social systems in the spirit of both Resilience Engineering and Safety-II.This book presents a number of examples to illustrate how the incremental approach to safety has been realised worldwide and applied to several fields of practice. The book begins with an incremental safety manifesto. It provides a characterisation and assessment of the current situation regarding safety and safety management, and proposes the logical alternative to target zero, which is target centum (Latin for one hundred), meaning that 100% of all work activities should go well, and summarises and contrasts the perspectives of Safety-I and Safety-II. The chapters convey specific incremental safety activities that have taken place within a broad range of industries and geographical locations, and detailed comparative analyses by Hollnagel and Slater, identifying the common motivations, methods, evidence and actions that provide the knowledge that readers need to be able to understand, adapt and successfully apply incremental safety practices in their own work context.Written at an intermediate professional level, but intentionally not technical, this book is for all middle managers, senior managers, independent consultants and safety professionals concerned with health, safety and environment.
