Shaker T: The Unwritten Rules of Modern
Leadership

The Unwritten Rules of Modern Leadership

Extraordinary

What Happens When One Kid Decides to Lead
What if leadership isn't taught-but caught?
In The D-Max Effect, Lisa Liberatore tells the unforgettable true story of how one ordinary child-invited into real responsibility early-sparked extraordinary ripple effects across schools, nonprofits, classrooms, and entire communities.
Inspired by her son, Dorian "D-Max" Pillsbury, this book challenges everything we think we know about leadership, confidence, and impact. It reveals a simple but radical truth: children don't learn leadership by being told what to do-they learn it by being included.
Through vivid, intimate storytelling-from soup kitchens and hockey rinks to classrooms, fundraisers, and kitchen-table conversations-Liberatore shows how leadership forms quietly: through presence instead of polish, consistency instead of charisma, and kindness practiced in ordinary moments. Readers witness how small acts-selling a candle, asking a question, pushing a cart of pie-become the building blocks of purpose, credibility, and lasting change.
This is not a parenting manual.
It's not a leadership playbook.
It's a lived framework for rebuilding community in a disconnected world.
At its core, The D-Max Effect is about breaking cycles, rewriting futures, and raising humans-of any age-who believe their presence matters. Whether you are a parent, educator, entrepreneur, mentor, or someone who has longed for deeper connection and meaning, this book will change how you see leadership and how you practice it every day.
Because real leadership doesn't wait for permission.
It starts when someone notices a need...and chooses to show up.

The D-Max Effect

Leadership After Authority by Mike Z is a refreshingly honest look at the way leadership is changing today. In this book, Mike Z explains why the traditional approach of relying on titles and authority no longer works and how leaders need to earn trust and respect through their actions, not just their position.
With practical advice and real-world examples, Mike Z shows how leaders can adapt to the modern workplace, where generations work side by side, and transparency and accountability are crucial. He explores the different expectations and needs of Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z and offers a roadmap for leading effectively across these generations.
The book focuses on the importance of being clear, consistent, and fair, qualities that help leaders connect with their teams and earn genuine respect. Through case studies and self-reflection prompts, readers are encouraged to evaluate their own leadership style and learn how to lead by example.
Leadership After Authority is not just a guide to leadership; it's a call for leaders to become more authentic, more disciplined, and more committed to setting real standards. If you're ready to build trust, inspire followership, and lead in a way that truly connects with your team, this book is for you.

Leadership After Authority

Harvest is a leadership story about the gap between how leaders see themselves and how they're actually experienced: what it costs when that gap goes unexamined and what becomes possible when it doesn't. At its heart, this is a story about the courage it takes to slow down, the humility required to see yourself clearly, and the discipline of building leadership that lasts. 
 
Emily Ross has built her career on results. As a rising star, she's known for getting things done-no matter the cost. But when her drive begins damaging her team and alienating colleagues, her boss gives her an ultimatum: take time off and figure out a different way to lead or find somewhere else to work.
 
Frustrated and defensive, Emily escapes to Tuscany to join the olive harvest at her mentor's estate. Working alongside experienced pickers, she discovers that habits that make someone good at harvesting olives can also produce more effective leadership. Through consideration of four deceptively simple questions, Emily learns to lead in a way that's both ambitious and sustainable. But the real test comes when she returns to work and must put these lessons into practice with a team that has every reason to doubt she's really changed.
 
¿¿¿¿¿¿¿If you've ever supervised someone brilliant who couldn't get out of their own way - or been that person yourself - Harvest: A Leadership Story will resonate deeply. Though Emily's story is fictional, the leadership challenges she embodies are not. For leaders ready to close that gap, Harvest offers both the mirror and the map.

A Leadership Story

Harvest

AI can do your job for five dollars. What's left is what makes you extraordinary.

A motivated person with a laptop can now replicate most of what you learned in school, most of what you do at work, and most of what you thought made you valuable. The safe path just disappeared.

So what's left? You. Your weird combination of skills. Your judgment. Your ability to connect with people, build trust, and do the one thing no algorithm can fake: be fully, irreplaceably human.

EXTRAORDINARY is a proven system for standing out when AI makes ordinary free.

Built from thirty years of leading teams, coaching kids, and building companies, Geno Valente's Nine Keys framework gives you the traits AI will never replicate and the daily systems to build each one. Not just for your career. For how you lead, how you show up for people, and who you become when nobody's watching.

What's inside:

The first three chapters tear down the myths that keep people stuck: the 10,000-hour lie, the specialization trap, the meritocracy myth, the lone genius fantasy, and the IQ ceiling. Then the Nine Keys (Vision, Courage, Integrity, Humility, Strategic Thinking, Inspiration, Results, Empathy, and Positive Energy) each get their own chapter with a story, a framework, and a system you can build. The final six chapters are where the keys meet AI: what ordinary work looks like now, how each key transforms in the AI era, and a step-by-step plan for building your own extraordinary system.

Every chapter ends with something to do. Not someday. Now.

Who this book is for:

The high school senior who doesn't know what they want yet and is quietly terrified that AI will make their degree worthless before they earn it. The college graduate stepping into a world with no syllabus, no grades, and no one handing them the next assignment. The young professional wondering if this is still the right race. And the parent who wants to hand their kid something better than a card with a check.

You don't have to be the best at anything. You have to be the only one with your combination. And the gap between who you are and who you could be isn't closed by ambition. It's closed by systems. This book is about building that system.

Making Business Work

Are your employees acting like termites chewing through your business?

Do certain clients drain your energy? Do suppliers leave you wondering what planet they're on? Running a service-based business shouldn't feel like a full-time pest control operation, but too often, it does.

Author and entrepreneur Tim Whitt has spent 45 years in the pest control industry-30 in corporate leadership and 15 building his own thriving company from the ground up. Based in southeastern Oklahoma, he lives with his best friend and wife of 44 years, Cindy-his steady partner through every season of the business. From technician to owner, he's seen how both pests and people behave...and how understanding one can completely transform how you manage the other. His company, Pied Piper Pest &amp; Lawn, holds a 4.9-star rating, 800+ client reviews, and steady growth-built mostly on referrals and a team that actually works together.

In Infested: What Pests Teach Us About Managing People and Running a Thriving Service-Based Business, Tim shares a blunt, funny, and highly practical framework for dealing with the "pests" in your business-staff, clients, and suppliers-so you can build a stable, profitable operation that doesn't depend on you putting out fires every day.

Inside, you'll learn how to:
Spot damaging behaviors early-before they chew through your profits
Build a stable, balanced business ecosystem that doesn't collapse when one person leaves
Decode what people really want so you can manage with insight, not emotion
Boost productivity and engagement without babysitting adults
Use simple data and patterns to make decisions instead of reacting to drama
Handle conflict firmly and ethically-without burning bridges
Apply pest behavior lessons directly to real-world staffing, client, and vendor problems



With straight talk, real stories from the field, and step-by-step strategies, Infested makes managing people clearer, calmer, and (yes) surprisingly enjoyable. You'll reduce chaos, increase loyalty, and build a business that grows without eating you alive.

If you're tired of feeling overrun by "problem people," it's time to take control.

Grab Infested today and turn your service-based business into a well-run, high-performing ecosystem.

Terrible Golfer

AbstractMy dad is a lot of things. A great leader. An inspiring speaker. A fierce advocate for kids. But a good golfer? Not so much. My dad has a handicap of 20. For those who don't know, that means he's probably going to hit somewhere around 92 to 95 strokes on a good day. Breaking 90 is a rare, almost mythical event for him. For my friends and me, it's just another Saturday.Growing up in Suffolk, Virginia, I had the luxury of playing at some great courses. I was the captain of my high school golf team, and I was pretty good. I was also the captain of my soccer team and my eSports team. I learned that being a good leader meant you had to know the rules of the game. My dad, on the other hand, made his own rules on the course."Son," he would often say, "I'm not playing against the other guys; I'm playing against the course."I get the logic, but that doesn't explain why he keeps trying to hit a 3-wood from a hundred yards out of the rough. The man is a math whiz, but his on-course calculations are a tragedy. It's like he sees a straight line from tee to hole, ignoring all the trees, water hazards, and bunkers in between. I always tell him, "Dad, you have to play the course as it is, not as you want it to be."This is where the real fun begins. I'll give him a simple tip, something about club selection or a smoother swing, and he'll nod his head and then launch into a full-blown leadership lecture. He'll say something like, "Ivy (this is the nickname my parents gave me), that's what a good leader does. They don't just see the problem; they see the pathway to the solution. They don't try to force a shot they don't have; they play the ball where it lies and focus on the next shot."I've heard these lectures on the first tee, in the fairway, and in the sand trap. He says the golf course is a microcosm of leadership, where every shot is a decision, and every hole is a new challenge. He says you can't be a great leader without a healthy dose of humility, and you can't improve your golf game without acknowledging your weaknesses.I still don't understand why he doesn't just use an 8-iron from the fairway, but I've started to see his point. He's not just playing a game; he's working through a problem. Every bad shot is a chance to learn, and every good shot is a small victory.He's a terrible golfer, but he's a great leader. And maybe, just maybe, the two are more connected than I ever thought. What do you think?

What my dad's bad shots taught me about good leadership

Leadership Lessons From The Son Of A Terrible Golfer

Neil is exceptionally suited for what he does and he has an intense love for it. This is why his book will produce exceptional results if you follow the style and practice of leadership he has so precisely laid out." -DR.
