A noted conflict-resolution expert explores dignity, its role in
human conflict, and its power to improve relationships "This book
is a must read for those who want to experience peace in their
everyday lives and peace in the world around them. . . . If you
want peace, be sure everyone's dignity is intact."-Archbishop
Emeritus Desmond Tutu "Anyone who understands the importance of
personal feelings and their fuel for conflict should consider
Dignity as a powerful advisory and motivational guide."-Midwest
Book Review Drawing on her extensive experience in international
conflict resolution and on insights from evolutionary biology,
psychology, and neuroscience, Donna Hicks explains what the
elements of dignity are, how to recognize dignity violations, how
to respond when we are not treated with dignity, how dignity can
restore a broken relationship, why leaders must understand the
concept of dignity, and more. By choosing dignity as a way of life,
Hicks shows, we open the way to greater peace within ourselves and
to a safer and more humane world for all. For the Tenth Anniversary
Edition of Dignity, Hicks has written a new preface that reflects
on her experience helping communities and individuals understand
the power of dignity and how it can lead to a more peaceful world.

Winner of the 2019 PROSE award in the Business, Management and
Finance category What every leader needs to know about dignity and
how to create a culture in which everyone thrives "With engaging
intelligence, Hicks makes a lucid case for the importance of
acknowledging a person's worth within organizations and businesses.
. . . For anyone wanting to better understand how to bring about
the best in themselves and those around them."-Nina MacLaughlin,
Boston Globe This landmark book from an expert in dignity studies
explores the essential but underrecognized role of dignity as part
of good leadership. Extending the reach of her award-winning book
Dignity: Its Essential Role inResolving Conflict, Donna Hicks now
contributes a specific, practical guide to achieving a culture of
dignity. Most people know very little about dignity, the author has
found, and when leaders fail to respect the dignity of others,
conflict and distrust ensue. Hicks highlights three components of
leading with dignity: what one must know in order to honor dignity
and avoid violating it; what one must do to lead with dignity; and
how one can create a culture of dignity in any organization,
whether corporate, religious, governmental, healthcare, or beyond.
Brimming with key research findings, real-life case studies, and
workable recommendations, this book fills an important gap in our
understanding of how best to be together in a conflict-ridden
world.
Inside these covers you will find the life and world of Elma Beach
as related through letters she sends to her family. Elma writes
about her trials, victories, struggles and family as her children
grow, go off to college, marry and begin families of their own.
Through all this she maintained her correspondence with each of
them no matter how far away from the family Missouri farmstead they
traveled. As Elma's family members wrote to her, she would resend
these letters to another sibling or family member continuing the
tradition of personal correspondence. Elma's Golden Years allows
the reader to not only view historical content of the northeastern
Missouri farming area, but relates a story of family economics,
politics, religion, sacrifice and simple everyday Missouri farm
life. The third and final volume of a three book series, Elma's
Golden Years brings the consecutive letters that have been the
highlight of these books to a close in 1961. A final chapter of
letters that the family has kept hidden away for various reasons in
dressers, cedar chests, desks and Bibles are also included. These
letters show Elma as she grows into her last stage of life and
gives the reader a view of how Elma grew to be the very fine lady
her family knew and loved.
