Generalship: HR Leadership in a Time of War
(for HR Executives, Managers & Supervisors, and those who aspire to be)
 By Peter Weddle

This is the book the rest of the company doesn’t want you to read. It’s “Machiavelli’s The Prince and Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People … all rolled into one for HR professionals.” Think of it as the pathway to equality in today’s corporation.

There are plenty of books about generic leadership. The bookshelves are stuffed to overflowing with books about HR management. This is the only book about HR leadership.

The book’s message is both timely and compelling: HR is in the fight of its life, a War for Relevancy. It is a battle for professional survival in the face of ever deeper HR budget and staff cuts and the aggressive encroachments of HR outsourcing companies. No one likes conflict, but the inescapable reality of this battle leaves HR professionals with only two choices: they can either fight to win or they can lose.

How can victory be achieved? This book probes the secrets of the most successful wartime leaders and relates them to the challenges facing HR Departments today. It is an excursion into the history of war-fighting and the exploits and attributes of America’s most successful generals. It does not celebrate war, but rather explores how wars are won … on the battlefield and in the modern corporation.

A fast-paced read, the book is filled with sound leadership lessons and lots of inspiration. It describes:

• Where HR professionals must focus their efforts so that they have the maximum influence in the corporation.

• How HR professionals can provide the leadership that will reinvigorate employee loyalty in corporate America.

• When HR professionals must act alone and when they must build internal coalitions to accomplish their objectives.

• And, what HR leaders and professionals must do to be recognized as “strategic partners” in the enterprise.

If you’re looking for practical, but outside-the-box insights on the role of HR, this book is for you! It is a call to arms for everyone who aspires to have a career in the HR profession.

'Tis of Thee
A Son’s Search for the Meaning of American Patriotism
By Peter Weddle

When you sit around the dinner table with your kids, do you ever talk about patriotism? Sure, you know what it feels like, but can you tell them what it means? Do you have the words to describe how patriotism is expressed and why it’s important? If not, ‘Tis of Thee is for you.

On September 11, 2001, the United States of America was attacked by terrorists. For those of us who lived through their horrific acts, the day began bright with hope and possibilities and ended dark with despair and fear.

As with the attack on Pearl Harbor, however, the day’s events awoke a sleeping giant. America was a nation consumed with its Pursuit of Happiness on the morning of September 11th; by the evening of that day, it was united in its determination to protect and preserve Life and Liberty for ourselves and our families, for our present and our future.

This book is about American patriotism. It is an intensely personal book—not unlike Tuesdays With Morrie—written largely in the two years prior to the terrorist assault on this country. It was finished in the week immediately following the attack.

The book recounts the year-long “conversation” between a son and his father, between a living American and one resting in Arlington National Cemetery. Their topics range from the Vietnam War to the American Dream, but always, their conclusion is the same: America is as good, as vibrant, as hopeful as the patriotism of we, its people.
