Leading in a Disruptive World: Discovering Your Adaptive DNA is about organic leadership in an upside-down world. It provides insights that help us break free of outdated leadership models. The urgency to find a better way has never been greater. Thrust into a cyber-dominated world with a velocity of organizational disruption never before experienced, we seek new directions. Moving forward into an Age of Disruptive Evolution, a paradigm shift in leadership emerges. Mother Nature can provide us with clues, especially in the area of adaptive DNA. She can guide us toward a leadership approach that is more organic in nature, one that allows for constant adaptation and itself transforms as a living organism might. This book presents such a model, along with “how to” tips, to prepare readers to emerge among the few who can effectively lead in this new disruptive, evolutionary world.

From Playboy to Jay-Z, the racial origins of toxic masculinity and its impact on women, especially Black and “insufficiently white” women.

More men than ever are refusing loving partnerships and commitment, and instead seeking out “situationships.” When these men deign to articulate what they are looking for in a steady partner, they’ll often rely on superficial norms of attractiveness rooted in whiteness and anti-Blackness.

Connecting the past to the present, I argue that following the Civil Rights movement and the integration of women during the Second Wave Feminist movement, men aimed to hold on to their power by withholding love and commitment, a basic tenet of white supremacy and male domination, that served to manipulate all women. From pornography to hip hop, women—especially Black and “insufficiently white” women—were presented as gold diggers, props for masturbation, and side-pieces.

Using historical research, personal stories, and critical analysis, I argue that the result is fuccboism, the latest incarnation of toxic masculinity. This work shows that men are not innately “toxic.” Nor do they hate love, commitment, or sex. Instead, men across race have been working a new code to effectively deny loving partnerships to women who are not pliant, slim, and white as a new mode of male domination.

America's decade-long effort to put a man on the moon is a compelling story. Like any great narrative it's filled with hope and disappointment, villains and heroes, greed and sacrifice. At every step it's the story of leadership.

With unique access to key leaders and NASA resources, author Dick Richardson has captured the leadership insights of our journey to the moon. These lessons are told through the lens of the people who were there-the executives, flight directors, and astronauts. Many contributed directly to this book. Richardson helps us see them as real people facing real opportunities and challenges.

You may not go to the moon, but this book will help you apply NASA's leadership lessons to your company's mission.
