The Gifted Boss by Dale Dauten

The Gifted Boss by Dale Dauten

Boxing and Performance is the first substantial piece of work to place the lived experience of female and male boxers in dialogue with one another.

Crews and Lennox critically reflect on their ethnographic experiences of boxing and their reading of the cultural representations of the sport. They conceive of the project as an extended sparring session. This book offers a unique perspective on boxing in/as performance and boxing in/as culture. It explores how the connections between boxing and performance address ideas about bodies, relationships, intimacy, and combat. It challenges and renegotiates oft-repeated narratives used to make meaning about boxing.

This volume examines questions of visibility, voice, and agency and will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of performance and media, and sport and social studies.

DALE DAUTEN

For many years Dale wrote the syndicated newspaper column The Corporate Curmudgeon and now co-authors with J.T. O'Donnell the country's leading column on careers.

He has also authored seven non-fiction books on leadership and innovation. His early work prompted a government publication to name him a guru to White House staffers, and since then, his business books have developed a worldwide following, most notably in Japan.

Early in his career, Dale worked for two major corporations and two consulting firms. He now works as an innovation consultant as founder of The Innovators' Lab(R).

He is married, with three children, is a recent convert to Catholicism, a hiker and tennis player, and when asked in an interview to name his three best traits, he replied, an open mind, a soft heart, and excellent calf muscles. Two of those three are apparent in his writing. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

This is his first novel.
