If you currently lead (or aspire to lead) a high-stakes organization, project, or facility, you need honest insights from people who have “been there and done that” in mission-critical roles. David B. Amerine’s Push It to Move It: Lessons Learned from a Career in Nuclear Project Management is a vital resource that will provide you with a full appreciation for what it really takes to avoid large-scale problems or to recover from them quickly and fully when they inevitably occur. Learn first-hand from a nuclear industry leader about what it takes to bring out the best in yourself and others while operating inside an organization in the midst of crisis, evolution or change.
“A vivid storyteller and remarkable leader, Dave Amerine shares a compelling life story -- one that takes you on a journey linking his values and experiences to a life of service and admirable accomplishments. His commitment to excellence in his endeavors -- combined with personal humility, genuine esteem for others, and a penchant to leverage his life and work experiences as learning opportunities -- have enabled Dave to excel and overcome adversity. This must-read book shines a light on wisdom produced by knowledge and experience, and affirms the axiom, ‘leadership matters!’”
-- Victor M. McCree, Former Executive Director for Operations, US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Now in its 2nd edition, Push It to Move It dares to blur the line between moving memoir and practical business playbook. The perfect inspiration for new and veteran leaders in the nuclear industry or other high-stakes businesses, it appeals to a broad audience for its applicability across life stages and professions. It is a book of business lessons about leadership, project management, participative management, culture, and safety, and of life lessons about hard work, deep love, family, values, and service to the community.
“No one is more qualified than Dave Amerine to serve as an example to those who begin a career in the power industry. [Learn] ... worthwhile lessons of the necessary work ethic, of which paths to take and to avoid, and of the importance of knowing the details, without ever losing sight of the big picture.”
-- Dr. Robert Iotti, Former Senior Vice President, CH2M Hill Nuclear Group, and Member of the Board of Advanced Reactor Concepts LLC
From the Front Lines of the Nuclear Industry, Lessons on Leadership and Life
During his 45-year career in the nuclear industry, David Amerine saw (and often oversaw) it all -- the recoveries of multi-billion-dollar projects, the changing of cultures across troubled organizations, and the implementation of two major evolutions in human management: fitness for duty and the safety conscious work environment.
What was learned and put into practice can be of benefit to any executive, project manager, or leader of complex projects or endeavors regardless of the size or nature of their operations. The challenge is to infuse the organization with a sense of purpose and commitment. To do this usually requires some significant change from the existing culture to new thought processes and guiding principles. This takes vision and leadership, and knowing what tools to apply and when to apply them.
At the core of large-scale turnaround and transformation?
- Communication
- Accountability
- Leadership
In this content-rich, first-person account of a distinguished career and a thoughtful life, David shares the lessons he learned -- about everything from leadership to sportsmanship, from project management to parenting.
Heralded as a "must-read book for project managers."
