Gallaudet Us Navy (Ret) T: Holding Fast
in Heavy Seas

Holding Fast in Heavy Seas

Leadership for Turbulent Times by Rear Admiral

Winner, 2021 Porchlight Business Book of the Year Award, for Leadership and Strategy&nbsp; "THE MOST UNLIKELY OF PEOPLE, IN THE MOST IMPROBABLE OF CIRCUMSTANCES, CAN BECOME EXTRAORDINARY." WE NEED MORE LEADERS. From socio-political chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we have never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world more than now. We need people who are willing to fill the leadership void. People who will embrace the influence they have. People who believe in improving society and workplace culture - not only because it makes life better, but because it is proven to yield positive results. The Promises of Giants is a challenge to anyone who aspires to make a difference in their environment. Over fourteen promises, it seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and workplace and social observation with the latest research, to provide practical, proven tips and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential and inspire others. It is not a self-help book. It is a how-to guide for winning, rooted in the belief that the most unlikely of people, in the most improbable of circumstances, can become extraordinary. John Amaechi well understands the responsibilities and potential that come with being a giant. The Promises of Giants is the product of a lifetime spent observing and studying effective leadership - from accompanying his mother's visits to her dying patients to competing at the highest levels of professional sport, through two decades of management consulting with multinational corporations. These experiences have shown that everyone has the ability to act decisively to influence the world in a positive way. Everyone is a giant to someone.

How YOU can fill the leadership void --THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER--

The Promises of Giants

Your growth is real. So is the pressure to bend on hiring, honesty, and culture to keep it. This book is about staying built to bend without ever quietly breaking.

Every founder starts with a quiet promise: build this the right way. Built to Bend is about what actually happens to that promise between the founding and everything after - not in one dramatic moment, but in a series of specific, survivable-seeming decisions: the hire you almost regret, the investor pitch that rewards a little shading of the truth, the sales call that tests your spine, the layoff you didn't see coming, the star performer whose behavior is quietly poisoning the team.

Written by a founder-advisor who has sat across the table for exactly these moments, this book skips the abstract "stay true to your values" advice and gives you something more useful: a clear-eyed account of what compromise actually looks like when it's dressed up as necessity, and a concrete way to choose differently, before you're standing in the room under pressure with no time to think.

What's inside:

- Why the first hire you're tempted to overlook a red flag on almost never turns out to be worth it
- The specific spectrum between honest framing and quiet deception in a fundraising pitch - and a test for knowing which side of the line you're on
- How to say no to a customer's unrealistic ask without losing the deal or your integrity
- Building a real values filter for hiring, instead of a poster on the wall
- Handling layoffs, star-performer problems, and board updates with honesty that actually builds trust
- Why reputation is the most durable, compounding asset your company has - and the fastest one to lose
- A founder's guide to staying honest all the way through an exit

BUILT TO BEND

"A riveting memoir of a life aquatic and an indispensable guide for anyone hoping to learn from the sea's wisdom at a time when its lessons have never been more urgent." -Susan Casey, author of The Underworld: Journeys to the Depths of the Ocean
"A field guide for those who want to learn how to remain true to those principles when the pressure to do otherwise is at its peak." -The Honorable John Kelly, general, US Marine Corps (Ret.), former secretary of homeland security and White House chief of staff
After serving for three decades as an oceanographer in the US Navy, Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet was appointed to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) during the turbulent times of the first Trump administration. NOAA is America's top ocean, weather, climate, and environmental agency, and to say that many federal employees were less than thrilled when Trump took office would be an understatement. Finding himself caught up in the "Sharpiegate" incident and other frustrating events caused Gallaudet to wonder if remaining in office was worth the effort, but his decision to hold fast and lead with empathy and humility kept NOAA on an even keel despite the often stormy environment. He applied the lessons from his life and military service to provide positive servant leadership to NOAA, defying the odds and boosting morale and employee satisfaction to record levels.
Drawing from both career accomplishment and personal tragedy, Gallaudet developed and applied a signature leadership approach to connect with employees at every level, making them feel valued and respected. Holding Fast in Heavy Seas provides an inspiring playbook for people of any calling who aspire to improve in their ability to positively influence others.

Rairairai 01

Drawing on contributions from nineteen prominent scholars, the book reflects on the quest for sustainable development as a source of competitive advantage for organizations and as a global imperative for society. It highlights how organizations' decision-making processes and bundled capabilities can promote innovative approaches to address current ethical dilemmas, setting forth business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability as required tenets for participating in a global economy. As societal and business stakeholders race toward the 2030 deadline to meet the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, business plays a critical role in achieving global goals. It is thus increasingly crucial that organizational practices and policies incorporate a socially responsible agenda based on ethical decision-making to achieve a more just society. Incorporating people, technology, the natural environment, and economics in a way that is inclusive, honest, just, and sustainable becomes a management imperative challenge. Given the rapid pace of changes taking place in the global economy, the time for action is now, if we are to preserve our planet and ensure progress and prosperity.This book will appeal to scholars in business ethics, management, international business, and sustainability, as well as to business executives. The chapters in this book were originally published in International Studies of Management &amp; Organization.

The Quest for Sustainable Development

Global Business Ethics

Integrating Language, Relationship, and Reflexivity in Contemporary Leadership Practice

'Unknowing' Leadership

In an era of AI, automation, cyber risk, and brittle infrastructure, technical excellence isn't enough. The real challenge is deciding what to build-and how to lead-when the stakes are human.

The Integrity Compass: Leading with Ethics in a Changing World is a practical, readable guide to ethical decision-making for engineers, technologists, managers, policymakers, and students navigating complexity and pressure. Blending lived experience with clear frameworks, it shows how integrity becomes action-especially when deadlines, incentives, and power dynamics push the other way.

Rather than treating ethics as abstract philosophy, this book gives you tools you can actually use: how to map risk, identify stakeholders, test assumptions, and spot the "quiet" choices that become tomorrow's headlines. Along the way, you'll learn from real-world case studies and deeply human dilemmas-moments in classrooms, boardrooms, and high-stakes settings where people must choose between convenience and courage.

A standout section features letters to practitioners based on real situations in medicine, cybersecurity, innovation, and leadership-bringing you into the emotional reality of decisions that can affect safety, trust, and wellbeing.

Inside you'll find:

* Practical frameworks for ethical decision-making in fast-changing environments
* Guidance for building an ethical culture inside teams and organizations
* Case studies and lessons from technology, infrastructure, and public trust

If you've ever wondered, "What's the right thing to do-when it's complicated?" this book is your compass.

Four children in the Russian city of Voronezh witness a red egg-shaped UFO descend and a group of seemingly extraterrestrial&nbsp;beings disembark. Flights are immediately diverted into and out of Xiaoshan Airport in China as passengers and crew aboard multiple planes report flashes of otherworldly&nbsp;light from four unidentified objects. How are all the cover-ups by the Chinese and Russian governments over UFO sightings related? James Tynion IV and&nbsp;Michael Avon Oeming follow up their acclaimed work on Blue Book with an all-new volume of “true” tales capturing the strange world of alien encounters—this time focusing on the uncanny extraterrestrial stories of Russia and China.&nbsp; Collects Red Book issues #1–#4.

A Journey's Echo: Ports of Call
Ports of Call is the companion volume to A Journey's Echo: Reflections on Leadership. While the original work explores leadership through reflective essays and experiences gathered across a lifetime of service, this companion extends the voyage by creating space for readers to engage more deeply with its themes through conversation, contemplation, and personal reflection.
Organized around the same maritime framework as the original work, Ports of Call follows the progression of a voyage-from preparation and departure through reflection, stewardship, and legacy. Each section offers carefully crafted conversation prompts, contemplative questions, and opportunities for personal reflection designed to encourage thoughtful dialogue and self-examination rather than provide prescribed answers.
The companion is intended for individual readers, leadership teams, executive coaching, classrooms, discussion groups, faith communities, and mentoring relationships. It invites participants to explore enduring questions surrounding judgment, responsibility, character, purpose, and the lasting consequences of leadership decisions.
Rather than functioning as a workbook or instructional guide, Ports of Call preserves the reflective and Socratic character of the original volume. It encourages readers to examine their own experiences, assumptions, and convictions while engaging the ideas presented in A Journey's Echo. The inclusion of personal journaling space further reinforces the book's purpose as a place for readers to record their own observations and insights as their leadership journey unfolds.
Drawing upon maritime imagery throughout, the companion emphasizes that meaningful leadership is less about certainty than about continual learning, thoughtful navigation, and faithful stewardship. Its conversations are designed to remain relevant across professions, generations, and life experiences by focusing on timeless human questions rather than situational techniques or management practices.
Together, A Journey's Echo and Ports of Call form a complementary body of work that invites readers not only to reflect upon leadership, but also to engage others in conversations that deepen understanding, strengthen judgment, and encourage a lifelong commitment to thoughtful stewardship.
