People leave.Resignations, terminations, transitions and other necessary endings are common challenges facing every organization. This is reality. All too often, when people leave, a familiar cycle repeats: processes are not passed along properly and remaining employees are impacted by new workloads, grief, and stress. Even when ample notices are given, they are often submitted without a plan for a seamless transition. Another reality is that organizations hire new employees. When this happens, how organizations handle and navigate transitions inevitably sets the stage for how new employees begin their experience with your organization, and your culture.Many leaders focus on hiring, attracting diverse talent pools, and onboarding, yet do not address or highlight systemic and underlying problems that exist when employees leave. Thinking back to the last twelve months, how many exits has your organization faced? In addition to the cycles of transition stress, there are also time and money costs associated with the integration of any interim or new hire, including internal relationship and trust building. And all of this assumes a TYPICAL exit! Your organization risks losing years of impact with each transition - but it doesn't have to be this way.The culture of leaving well protects your reputation, preserves and promotes the mental health of employees, and helps maintain professional relationships with your stakeholders. In other words: the way people leave is actually where change-making organizations should start problem-solving.

Failure to Fire takes place in 2015 - 2016 when al Qaeda smuggles teams of terrorists into the United States by crossing the southern border and by coming ashore in the Northeast. Their goal, shut down the U.S. air transportation system using man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). The president of the U.S. does not believe, now that his administration has eliminated Osama bin Laden, that al Qaeda is capable of such an attack despite prima facie evidence that MANPADS have been found in the U.S. Derek Almer's contacts at the CIA arranged for him to create a small think tank to operate under the radar and identify who is bringing the missiles into the country and develop a plan to prevent their use. Almer must deal with an administration more interested in maintaining its narrative that "Osama is dead, the war on terror is over." The attorney general decides to go after Derek and his organization rather than hunt the terrorists already in the U.S. Failure to Fire is the second book in the Derek Almer Counterterrorism series. The first was called Flight of the Pawnee. Each novel in the series has a plot based on a threat to the U.S. homeland that the U.S. government does not want to discuss publicly. A third novel called Insidious Dragon will be released in the fall of 2023.

The Holy Books on TrialA comprehensive investigation by a Muslim scholar into the Torah and the Gospel to uncover the truthThis book represents a profound journey into the core of Muslim belief regarding the corruption in the Torah and the Gospel. It embodies the author's unwavering quest for truth.The claim of corruption of these scriptures raises critical inquiries. When were they corrupted? Did this corruption occur prior to Islam and the Quran's revelation, afterward, or during the prophet's time? Are there Quranic verses that explicitly support the claim of distortion, and how should verses like "they distort the word from its places" and "they write the book with their own hands," be interpreted?What about the stories in the Torah and the Gospel that attribute sins to the prophets? Are these accounts factual or mythical? If these texts are considered divine, why do textual variations exist, and are similar variation found in the Quran?Is the prophet's name mentioned in current books or in ancient manuscripts predating Islam? What's the story behind the "Original Authenticated Book"?While most Muslims believe in the corruption of the Torah and the Gospel, many are unaware of the underlying reasons. I was once among them, which prompted me to embark on an impartial journey to uncover the truth about these Holy Scriptures. In my research, I explored the work of renowned Muslim scholars who identified four reasons for alleged distortion. However, rigorous analysis based on scientific and impartial principles, Islamic sources, and the Quran revealed these reasons are speculative, lacking credible evidence, and even contradicting Quranic teachings. Notably, the Quran itself affirms the authenticity of the Torah and the Gospel, and the prophet of Islam respected and praised them as sources of light, guidance, and mercy. Manuscripts from global libraries and museums align with the circulating texts, and recent archaeological discoveries support their authenticity.Considering the evidence, it appears that the Torah and the Gospel remained unaltered before, during, and after the Quran's revelation. The notion of an "original authenticated book" lacks credible support, Quranic reference, or prophetic endorsement. It has primarily served as a rhetorical tool to advance a flawed hypothesis about the Torah and the Gospel's distortion.
