Lloyd Burgess Sharp, affectionately called L. B. by those who knew him best, was a pioneer in outdoor education long before the term became commonly known (and coined by Sharp himself). Beginning his career with Life Magazine’s Fresh Air Farms in the early 1900s, L. B. transformed youth camping programs from what had previously been militaristic, oppressive, and punitive to a focus on providing educational, nurturing, and small group camping experiences for youth across the United States. Spanning the decades from his birth in 1895 to his passing in 1963, Never Finished . . . Just Begun presents L. B.’s remarkable career accomplishments, as told by his friends and associates, and the many ways in which his leadership inspired them all.

The answer to the question on everybody’s mind lies in between the pages of this refreshing collection of short stories where Gypsy discovers the secret to satisfaction by accepting her insatiable appetite for the unknown.

Gypsy, a spirited city girl from the suburbs of Detroit, finds herself in a career that fits into her lifestyle perfectly, a flight attendant for Encompass Airlines. Because she has always had an attraction to space travel and the wonders of the world, this career move appears to be destiny calling. Gypsy’s world seems impossibly fascinating as she wanders through different countries in exquisite clothing and pricey stilettos, sampling the world of relationships and giving readers an inside invitation to enjoy her incredible life on the fly. She travels to some of the most fantastic cities and has unrestricted access to the rich and the powerful: basketball players, prime ministers, police officers, and, of course, pilots. Her increasing desire for spontaneous relationships flourishes with each amazing story.

Modern Day Gypsy is hugely revealing and provides unobstructed views from the top with a humorous narration that connects through a series of exchanges, problems with work, broken friendships, and spicy love affairs. She may have to consider giving up the fast lane for a slower paced city life when she’s faced with a life-altering decision that could either destroy her passionate spirit or heal her misguided soul. The choice is hers to make and the options are clear, but the window of opportunity is closing in fast on Gypsy’s world of glamour.

Do flight attendants really have a man in every port of call?

Our world today offers a host of new challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, we see an emerging global knowledge economy fed by an unprecedented investment in network technologies and the unleashing of human creativity in all fields. On the other hand, we also face significant challenges: economic disparity, global warming, education inadequacies, and global financial service failures. When we encounter these problems, the future feels insecure.

Emerging leaders will need to deal with these confusing realities and set a course for the future. Leadership thinking of previous eras created today’s challenges, but that thinking won’t solve them. Your leaders need to engage in different conversations. Conversations designed to cause the emergence of new ideas and new processes capable of delivering on the promise of this new era. Are you having the conversations you need to have to prepare your leaders for tomorrow?
