52 Leadership Habits for New Managers

Practical Tools for First-Time Leaders to Build Trust, Inspire Your Team, and Handle Difficult Conversations With Confidence

The transformative guide to workplace dynamics that helps you understand yourself - and handle those around you. Is your boss acting like a critical parent? Does a closed-door meeting leave you consumed by paranoia? Are you compelled to overperform until you're on the verge of burnout? You are not alone. We spend a third of our lives at work, yet we're told to leave our emotions at the door. In We Are Not a Family, psychotherapist Elisa Morris and executive coach Nell Montgomery show us the reality: we don't just bring our work experience to the office; we bring our entire emotional history. In this groundbreaking book, the authors identify eight workplace personalities - from the Joker who entertains to hide deep insecurities and the Perfectionist driven by their inner criticism, to the Gladiator who seeks success at any cost. They show how understanding these patterns can transform every interaction in your professional life. You'll learn how to:<ul><li>Identify your own personality and understand how it was formed in childhood</li><li>Build stronger relationships by seeing colleagues for who they really are</li><li>Improve leadership skills by recognising unconscious patterns playing out in your team</li><li>Handle difficult situations confidently without being overwhelmed by triggered feelings</li></ul> Packed with clinical insight, wit and a practical toolkit for every personality, We Are Not a Family will liberate you from outdated coping strategies and help you show up as the authentic, confident professional you long to become.

The 8 Personalities at Work and How to Navigate Them

We Are Not a Family

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.

Leadership, Human Connection, and Creating What Comes Next

The Future Possible

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

How most investing decisions differ from what the data say works—and how replacing myth with measurement can improve outcomes. The Accidental Venture Capitalist examines how early-stage investment decisions are actually made—and why so many of them diverge from what the evidence says should work. Written by an academic-turned-venture capitalist Scott Shane, the book sits at the intersection of rigorous research and lived investing experience. Its central premise is simple but uncomfortable: in venture capital, folklore and intuition dominate practice, even though decades of empirical research offer more reliable guidance on selection, pricing, portfolio construction, and incentives. The book follows the full arc of the venture process, from fund design and deal sourcing to valuation, syndication, follow-on investing, governance, and exits. Each chapter takes a familiar maxim—“bet on the jockey,” “do more diligence,” “double down on winners”—and tests it against large-sample academic evidence and real investment outcomes. Shane’s analysis is grounded in power-law economics, behavioral decision-making, and incentive alignment. And he is transparent about mistakes as well as successes, treating his own funds as a living laboratory rather than a victory lap. The book also offers practical tools—checklists, heuristics, simple models—that translate evidence into decisions investors can actually implement.

Why Evidence Beats Instinct in Early-Stage Investing

The Accidental Venture Capitalist

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!
