The Monroe Doctrine:
An ABC Guide To What Great Bosses Do
Many people who attain managerial positions haven't the foggiest notion how to lead. They don't feel driven to attain the competencies of a boss - much less a great boss. The Monroe Doctrine offers educators, administrators, and businessfolk an inspiring A-Z of straight-forward lessons on becoming - and remaining - a truly great boss.
|
 |
Its brief, catchy lessons and anecdotes will help potential leaders tap into their natural gifts and harness those gifts to lead seemingly by instinct. Lorraine Monroe's personal story of conquering the most overwhelming challenges will inspire leaders of all types to try new ideas to enrich their lives and the lives of their organizations. With The Monroe Doctrine by their side, readers will be able to lead any organization - whether a hospital, a house of worship, a sorority, a family, a school, or a business - with renewed passion and results.
Lorraine Monroe founded the Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem, a remarkably

| successful and innovative public school, and became one of the most respected education reformers in America. She is the President and CEO of the Lorraine Monroe Leadership Institute in New York City. |

who tells Fia seven stories that help her to feel better about her problems.
Join Fia in this magical place and experience the adventures of Fia and the Butterfly: 7 Stories for Character Education.

The Faith Story:
How Butterflies Came To Be
A read-aloud story with classic jazz music for dreamers of all ages
by Dr. Lonnetta M. Taylor-Gaines
| In "THE FAITH STORY" by Dr. Lonnetta M. Taylor-Gaines, you will meet 11-year-old African-American girl, Fredericka Inez Anderson - or Fia, as she likes to be called. Fia has been profoundly affected by the murder of four little girls - Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carol Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley - in a Birmingham, |
|
 |
Alabama church on Sunday morning, September 15th, 1963.
Story teller Nana Bea tells "THE FAITH STORY: how butterflies came to be" to help Fia to address her fears about the murder of the four little girls and to teach her enduring values for life.
"THE FAITH STORY" is the seventh story in my book, Fia and the Butterfly: 7 Stories for Character Education. The aim of the book is to entertain and instruct children, youth, and those who care for them in the principles - or values - that we celebrate during the 7-day cultural holiday of Kwanzaa from December 26th through Janurary 1st of each year. It is my belief that these values, based on the lifeways of traditional Africa, can serve as daily guides as we strive to maintain our faith, to build our communities, and to make things better for future generations.
