Into the Uncut Grass
A story for all ages from the author of the #1 bestselling Born a Crime “But sooner or later your mother will find us,” Walter said, looking back at the house. “She always does.” The boy’s eyes lit up again. He had an idea. “Then this time we need to go where we’ve never gone before,” he said. “Into the uncut grass!” In the tradition of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse comes a gorgeously illustrated fable about a young child’s journey into the world beyond the shadow of home, a magical landscape where he discovers the secrets of sharing, connection, and finding peace with the people we love. Infused with the author’s signature wit and imagination, in collaboration with visionary artist Sabina Hahn, it’s a tale for readers of all ages—to be read aloud or read alone.

We don’t see them as people.

Born a Crime
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • More than one million copies sold! A “brilliant” (Lupita Nyong’o, Time), “poignant” (Entertainment Weekly), “soul-nourishing” (USA Today) memoir about coming of age during the twilight of apartheid “Noah’s childhood stories are told with all the hilarity and intellect that characterizes his comedy, while illuminating a dark and brutal period in South Africa’s history that must never be forgotten.”—Esquire Winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor and an NAACP Image Award • Named one of the best books of the year by The New York Time, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Esquire, Newsday, and Booklist Trevor Noah’s unlikely path from apartheid South Africa to the desk of The Daily Show began with a criminal act: his birth. Trevor was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the earliest years of his life, bound by the extreme and often absurd measures his mother took to hide him from a government that could, at any moment, steal him away. Finally liberated by the end of South Africa’s tyrannical white rule, Trevor and his mother set forth on a grand adventure, living openly and freely and embracing the opportunities won by a centuries-long struggle. Born a Crime is the story of a mischievous young boy who grows into a restless young man as he struggles to find himself in a world where he was never supposed to exist. It is also the story of that young man’s relationship with his fearless, rebellious, and fervently religious mother—his teammate, a woman determined to save her son from the cycle of poverty, violence, and abuse that would ultimately threaten her own life. The stories collected here are by turns hilarious, dramatic, and deeply affecting. Whether subsisting on caterpillars for dinner during hard times, being thrown from a moving car during an attempted kidnapping, or just trying to survive the life-and-death pitfalls of dating in high school, Trevor illuminates his curious world with an incisive wit and unflinching honesty. His stories weave together to form a moving and searingly funny portrait of a boy making his way through a damaged world in a dangerous time, armed only with a keen sense of humor and a mother’s unconventional, unconditional love.

Leading Each Other and Sticking Together
As organizations continue to flatten their structure and leverage teams for the completion of complex work projects, contributions of evidence to illuminate what makes teams effective and profitable are becoming increasingly valuable for organizational stakeholders. The majority of past researchers have focused on the performance of teams as an indicator of their success. However, there are other indicators of team effectiveness that have been understudied relative to team task performance, namely team viability. Team viability reflects the extent that members of a team will desire to continue working together in the future. When individuals have negative team experiences, they are likely to disband from the team, resulting in turnover that can be costly to the organization. Trust is one factor that is argued to have a substantial influence on team viability. Thus, the current study first sought to examine team level inputs and mediators that can be used to predict the extent that team members will desire to continue working together on future projects. As a secondary goal, this study also sought to answer recent calls to investigate antecedents, outcomes, and emergence trajectories of shared leadership in teams. Past literature has suggested that robust leadership may be the strongest predictor of team performance, and more recent meta-analytic reviews have found that shared leadership predicts team performance above and beyond traditional hierarchical leadership. A comprehensive review of the literature revealed that a relatively understudied construct, socialized motivation for power, may be likely to have predictive value in assessing the degree to which influence of a team is shared among its members, and the extent that team members will wish to continue working together beyond their current performance episode. Using archival data, a series of multiple regression, and mediated regression models were used to test hypotheses. The results demonstrated that team-level socialized power motivation was a significant predictor of team trust, shared leadership, and latent changes in shared leadership. Additionally, an indirect effect of team socialized power motivation on team viability through shared leadership was supported, although the indirect effect through team trust was not. The study provides valuable implications for practice and a framework for future research investigating team-level relationships.
