"If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman." --Margaret Thatcher. In the spirit of Thatcher's quote, Ambassador Nikki R. Haley offers inspiring examples of women who worked against obstacles and opposition to get things done-including Haley herself. As a brown girl growing up in Bamberg, South Carolina, no one would have predicted she would become the first minority female governor in America, the first female and the first minority governor in South Carolina, or the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Her journey wasn't an easy one. She faced many people who thought she didn't belong-and who told her so. She was too brown. Too female. Too young. Too conservative. Too principled. Too idealistic. As far as Nikki was concerned, those were not reasons to hold her back. Those were all reasons to forge ahead. She drew inspiration from other trailblazing women throughout history who summoned the courage to be different and lead. This personal and compelling book celebrates ten remarkable women who dared to be bold, from household names like Margaret Thatcher and Israel's former prime minister Golda Meir, to Jeane Kirkpatrick, the first female U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to lesser-known leaders like human rights activist Cindy Warmbier, education advocate Virginia Walden Ford, civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin, and more. Woven with stories from Haley's own childhood and political career, If You Want Something Done will inspire the next generation of leaders."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1770962</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1770962</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haley, Nikki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1770962177</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Leadership Lessons From Bold Women</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250284976/MC.GIF&amp;client=barriep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dichotomy of Leadership]]></title><link>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1498603</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1498603</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Willink, Jocko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1498603177</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Balancing the Challenges of Extreme Ownership to Lead and Win</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250195777/MC.GIF&amp;client=barriep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leaders]]></title><link>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1491873</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1491873</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McChrystal, Stanley A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1491873177</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Myth and Reality</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525534372/MC.GIF&amp;client=barriep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership]]></title><description><![CDATA["Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy "Leaders," writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, "think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy." In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft, which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls "the strategy of humility." Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by "the strategy of will." During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by "the strategy of equilibrium." After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a "strategy of transcendence." Against the odds, Lee Kuan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by "the strategy of excellence." And, though Britain was known as "the sick man of Europe" when Margaret Thatcher came to power, she renewed her country's morale and international position by "the strategy of conviction." To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and-because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes-personal knowledge. Leadership is enriched by insights and judgements that only Kissinger could make and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1745505</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1745505</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kissinger, Henry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1745505177</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Six Studies in World Strategy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593489444/MC.GIF&amp;client=barriep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unmaking the Presidency]]></title><description><![CDATA["How Donald Trump has reshaped the norms of the American presidency."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1616378</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S177C1616378</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hennessey, Susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://barrie.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1616378177</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Donald Trump&apos;s War on the World&apos;s Most Powerful Office</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780374175368/MC.GIF&amp;client=barriep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Madman Theory]]></title><description><![CDATA["From praising dictators to alienating allies, Trump has made chaos his calling card.
