In a dystopian, apocalyptic future, he is the quintessential survivalist, a heartless loner. The only things that stand between him and death each day are his maxims. He relies on them to manage the violence inherent within a world gone mad, and they are as unforgiving as his soul. Nothing he witnesses or does can bend or break them, until a single unwilling act of kindness alters his philosophy and his outlook with the same stroke of mercy. His maxims keep him alive in a world of harm, no matter the cost or the consequence to those around him. Then she comes along.

Excerpt: ARTICLE SECOND I. Of the subjects of this mixed love all are not equally advanced. II. Mixed love becomes pure love, when the love of self is relatively, though not absolutely, lost in a regard to the will of God. This is always the case, when the two objects are loved in their due proportion. So that pure love is mixed love when it is combined rightly. III. Pure love is not inconsistent with mixed love, but is mixed love carried to its true result. When this result is at-tained, the motive of God's glory so expands itself, and so fills the mind, that the other motive, that of our own happiness, becomes so small, and so recedes from our inward notice, as to be practically annihilated. It is then that God becomes what He ever ought to be the center of the soul, to which all its affections tend; the great moral sun of the soul, from which all its light and all its warmth proceed. It is then that a man thinks no more of himself. He has become the man of a "single eye." His own happiness, and all that regards himself, is entirely lost sight of in his simple and fixed look to God's will and God's glory. IV. We lay ourselves at His feet. Self is known no more; not because it is wrong to regard and to desire our own good, but because the object of desire is withdrawn from our notice. When the sun shines, the stars disappear. When God is in the soul who can think of himself? So that we love God, and God alone; and all other things in and for God.

This book is not about metaphors neither is it a research study on maxims. Whereas phrases and paragraphs are riddled with tropes of structural leadership realities, the entire content remains a deconstruction of comprehensible management tools, conceptual theories, and conventional MAXIMS relevant to the actions of POLITICAL LEADERSHIP and organizational change management.Amidst various studies on leadership, the prevailing challenges in the practice arena instigate a recipe for disaster. A collision in the political governance system may have submerged various constituents in fundamental crises ascribed to mediocrity or the recklessness of leaders trapped in intellectual impoverishment.In this book, contemporary management, and organizational leadership exponent, Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo invokes logical thoughts and public-policy expressions to deliver ontological certainty in managing people, their communities, and socio-political progress. Fundamental actions of leadership must be to build hope rather than fear; radiate love instead of hate; orate peace not animosity; and accordingly, build unity rather than separation. As Ogbo notes; if he talks like Robert Mugabe; tweets like Donald Trump; or parades the ruthless disposition of Kim Jong-un, it is not leadership.
