This book is the first practical, hands-on guide that shows how leaders can build psychological safety in their organizations, creating an environment where employees feel included, fully engaged, and encouraged to contribute their best efforts and ideas. Fear has a profoundly negative impact on engagement, learning efficacy, productivity, and innovation, but until now there has been a lack of practical information on how to make employees feel safe about speaking up and contributing. Timothy Clark, a social scientist and an organizational consultant, provides a framework to move people through successive stages of psychological safety. The first stage is member safety-the team accepts you and grants you shared identity. Learner safety, the second stage, indicates that you feel safe to ask questions, experiment, and even make mistakes. Next is the third stage of contributor safety, where you feel comfortable participating as an active and full-fledged member of the team. Finally, the fourth stage of challenger safety allows you to take on the status quo without repercussion, reprisal, or the risk of tarnishing your personal standing and reputation. This is a blueprint for how any leader can build positive, supportive, and encouraging cultures in any setting.

What does it take for women to succeed in a male-dominated world? The Grit Factor. At age nineteen, Shannon Huffman Polson became the youngest woman ever to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America. She went on to reach the summits of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Kilimanjaro and spent more than a decade traveling the world. Yet it was during her experience serving as one of the Army's first female attack helicopter pilots, and eventually leading an Apache flight platoon on deployment to Bosnia-Herzegovina, that she learned the lessons of leadership that forever changed her life. Where did these insights come from? From her own crucibles of experience—and from other women. In writing The Grit Factor, Polson made it her mission to connect with an elite pack of tough, impressive female iconoclasts who shared with her their candid stories of combat and career. This slate of decorated leaders includes Heather Penney, one of the first female F-16 pilots, who was put on a suicide mission for 9/11; General Ann Dunwoody, the first female four-star general in the Army; Amy McGrath, the first female Marine to fly the F/A-18 in combat and a 2020 candidate for the US Senate—and dozens of other unstoppable women who got there first, including Polson herself. These women led at the highest levels in the most complicated, challenging, and male-dominated organization in the world. Now, in the post–#MeToo era, when positive role models of women leading are needed as never before, Polson brings these voices together, sharing her own life lessons and theirs with storytelling flair, keen insight, and incisive analysis of current research. With its gripping narrative and relatable takeaways, The Grit Factor is both inspiring and pragmatic, a book that will energize and enlighten current and aspiring leaders everywhere—whether male or female.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The true story of an ordinary mail carrier whose approach to work and life has the power to transform the everyday into the extraordinary—now in an updated twentieth-anniversary edition “This beloved business classic has inspired millions of people over the years, and today Mark Sanborn’s transformative insights are more timely and necessary than ever.”—Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus and co-author of The Coffee Bean Meet Fred. In this timeless and powerful book, Mark Sanborn, member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, recounts the true story of Fred, an ordinary USPS carrier who introduced himself one day shortly after Sanborn had moved to a new home in Denver. Fred, however, was no average mailman. As Sanborn came to discover, Fred was the kind of worker who exemplifies everything “right” with customer service. Did people want packages left on the porch or prefer a notice to pick them up at the post office? Fred made sure he knew the answer. When another delivery service left a package at the wrong house, Fred shepherded it safely to the intended recipient. Others might have seen delivering mail as routine work, but Fred seized the chance to find meaning in the mundane, competing with himself every day to find opportunities to make his customers smile. We’ve all encountered people like Fred. In this deeply inspiring book, Sanborn illuminates the four basic principles anyone can use to bring fresh energy and creativity to our work and life: how to make a tangible difference every day, build stronger relationships, create real value for others without spending a penny, and constantly reinvent yourself. In this updated edition, Sanborn speaks to the seismic changes that have transformed the world of work in recent years—with employees increasingly hungry for purpose in their jobs—and outlines the book’s fresh applications. By following his principles, you, too, can find more excitement, fulfillment, and success in your career—and in your life.

Have you ever wondered why some school leaders are far more successful than others? How is it that when faced with a relatively common set of challenges, some school leaders are able to not only meet the administrative demands of the system but also transform their school in ways that enrich the lives of staff and students? What is IT these extraordinarily successful leaders draw upon to drive the transformation? My purpose in writing this book is to provide readers with insights that will enable them to discover their own IT (Inspirational Transformational) Factor, unleash their full leadership potential and transform their school beyond expectations. I have interviewed nationally recognized school leaders from across Canada, representing much of the diversity of our country. They are from communities that span our country, literally from coast to coast to coast. They recognized the difficulties facing students who were academically, socially and/or economically challenged. Situations dealing with the impact of colonization on students in Nunavut, systemic racism in Nova Scotia, challenges of new immigrant students in Ontario and the marginalization of academically poor students in British Columbia are just a few examples of issues that are detailed and examined in this book. I questioned each leader extensively about their life experiences and how they had drawn from this bank of experiences to discover their own unique IT Factor. Additional questions then probed more deeply into the attributes that were necessary in order to fully unleash their IT Factor. These stories provide valuable insights into how they thought, reasoned, and made decisions that guided their students, staff, other stakeholders, and school community to new heights. Examples are provided that demonstrate how they thought differently about issues and how each leader was guided by their own past life experiences. Each leader was unique in their IT Factor, however common to all was a grouping of core attributes that enabled each of them to unleash their IT Factor. These stories are further supported by insights into exceptional leaders in business, science, sport and the arts, and research conducted by leading academics. Through the unleashing of their IT Factor these outstanding leaders were able to bring hope, opportunity, and a renewed sense of purpose to the students, staff, and communities they served. This book:- transcends conventional leadership theory, - challenges and guides the reader to examine their own core beliefs,- focuses on practical approaches to growing one's own leadership capacity through the examination of real-life leadership success stories, - addresses many of the challenges faced by leaders in schools and organizations, while also providing practical solutions, and,-challenges and inspires the reader to examine their own situation, apply what they are learning, and grow their leadership capacity and success. Prepare to discover your own unique IT Factor, grow your leadership capacity, and bring about meaningful change for your students, staff and school community. "The IT Factor by John Morrison delves into what exactly makes a great school leader and how you can grow your leadership potential. Through engaging stories of highly successful leaders, he takes you on a practical, hands on journey, highlighting the qualities that empower people to become inspiring leaders who take their staff on a journey of school and community transformation by developing a successful, child focused school. He talks about the qualities needed by a successful school leader in order to successfully navigate the journey from good to great. This easy-to-read book is something that every school leader will take something from and help them to become more successful in their role each day." -Terry MacIsaac President Canadian Association of Principals
