(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 18, 2024 ) Denver, CO and Omaha, NE – Joe Robert Thornton’s latest leadership book, The Depths of Mediocrity: Eliminating Indifference, has just been released by Vizzionnary Publishing. The book focuses not only on leadership but also on the mediocrity and indifference impacting our world. It dives into what causes the misses that readers see in their lives and takes on current affairs that are causing the fracturing of society’s moral fabric.
When success is not achieved, there are times when the barrier is something more challenging to detect—the do-just-enough-to-get-by leadership. In other words, mediocrity. But there is another condition just as destructive as mediocrity. Indifference is the ethical and moral ability to look away, do nothing and be okay with it.
In The Depths Of Mediocrity: Eliminating Indifference, Joe Robert Thornton offers a reality check; it’s time to step forward and call out mediocrity and indifference whenever and wherever we see it. “It is important to hold ourselves accountable,” he explains, “but if we are to rid the world of mediocrity and indifference, we must also hold others accountable.”
Readers will learn about:
• The problems created by mediocrity and indifference
• The potentially damaging statement “I Didn’t Know”
• The importance of caring more
• How comparisons can lead to mediocrity
• The relevance of paying attention to details
• The power of kindness
• The negative impact of blaming
• The benefits of overachieving
• What “going the extra mile” really means
• The value of effervescent effort
