'A timely guide to creating teams where candor, learning, accountability, and human dignity can coexist.' - Amy C. EdmondsonTranslate psychological safety into everyday leadership habits that strengthen trust, sharpen decisions and deliver commercial advantage.We talk a lot about psychological safety, yet many leaders struggle to translate it into meaningful action. This book reveals how to do exactly that. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural science, psychometric research and real-world case studies from global organisations, Dr Amanda Potter demonstrates how small, everyday habits shape the climate people experience at work, ultimately determining whether teams speak up, innovate, make better decisions and deliver exceptional performance.Psychological safety is more than a wellbeing initiative; it is a measurable condition for innovation, accountability and sustained performance. And at a time when change, AI disruption and competing demands are putting teams under more strain than ever, it's never been more important.Discover how to: <ul> <li>Build the trust, purpose and belonging that make candid conversations possible - because silence is your biggest business risk;</li> <li>Create inclusive, cognitively diverse teams where challenge improves decisions;</li> <li>Build the capability of human judgement for critical thinking and better decisions;</li> <li>Put eight evidence-based habits into practice for stronger teams and better business outcomes.</li> </ul>

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.

How to Land and Nurture Thriving Partnerships

Masters of Fintech-Bank Partnerships

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment group and a control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig. “Among the most provocative and compelling feminist political visions since The Second Sex. These essays represent the radical extension of de Beauvoir’s theory, its unexpected lesbian future. Wittig’s theoretical insights are both precise and far-reaching, and her theoretical style is bold, incisive, even shattering.” —Judith Butler, Johns Hopkins University

A rollicking, eye-opening history of the Star Wars franchise: an unrivaled force in popular culture that changed the way Hollywood makes movies—and that is now imperiled by many of the industry forces it set in motion From the premiere of the first film in 1977, the Star Wars franchise not only captured the imaginations of billions of people—and&nbsp;billions&nbsp;of dollars of revenue—but also rewrote the rules of the entertainment industry. Game-changing special effects, must-have collectibles, and the richness of George Lucas’s ever-expanding narrative&nbsp;gave rise to a new Hollywood model in which the boundary between screen and life collapsed. Star Wars wasn’t just a movie, after all: it was&nbsp;an alternate universe, a moral code, a way of life. Over the last half-century, Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel explains, the Star Wars franchise has relied on an anti-establishment ethos, the savvy of executives, and the devotion of moviegoers to become a new American myth. But since its fateful acquisition by Disney in 2012, Star Wars has become a cautionary tale of Hollywood excess, and its present status as a corporate holding bears little resemblance to its origins. Drawing on scores of insider interviews and surveying fifty years of American culture and commerce, Schwartzel delivers fresh perspective on the Star Wars story, bringing to life the scrappy creative spirit of Lucasfilm’s early days; the box-office frenzy that rang in Hollywood’s blockbuster era and gave rise to a new industry playbook; and the scores of fans whose lives have been shaped by this singular force. A panoramic narrative of dreams, obsession, and power, Rebels and Empires is the untold history of Hollywood’s most storied epic.

Explores how cultural heritage has been exploited and weaponised by both state and non-state actors throughout history and in contemporary conflicts, revealing how monuments, traditions and historical narratives are manipulated for political, military and ideological gain, while also highlighting the resilience of communities striving to protect and reclaim their heritage against such attacks.

Cultural Arsenal: The Weaponisation of Heritage in Armed Conflict addresses head-on a dark and often overlooked aspect of cultural heritage: its weaponisation by both state and non-state actors. This new book is intended to show how cultural heritage has been used as a tool or weapon in contemporary conflict and geopolitical competition and how heritage has been manipulated and exploited throughout history to achieve strategic goals. The role of propaganda in the weaponisation of cultural heritage is also explored by examining how state actors use media and education to shape narratives around cultural heritage, often to justify territorial claims or suppress minority cultures. Within the context of International Humanitarian Law, these tactics highlight the importance of protecting cultural heritage during conflicts, as its loss can have profound and lasting impacts on communities, as well as the limits of international law in addressing the manipulation and exploitation of cultural heritage and its meaning. The book is therefore intended to explain - and set out - the exploitation of cultural heritage by both state and non-state actors to achieve military, economic, information, diplomatic and political advantage. By explaining this, the Editors aim to show how heritage has been weaponised in the past, and in the present, to achieve ideological successes as a component of advancing long-term interests. The narrative includes historical and current case-study examples, illustrating how empires and nations have used cultural heritage as a tool of propaganda. From political iconoclasm during the Ancient Egyptian Amarna period, to the aggressive program of Indigenous sequestration of Native American cultural practices in the nineteenth century, the book highlights how cultural heritage has been co-opted to serve strategic agendas across the Euro-Atlantic, Africa and the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific. Throughout the book, the contributors emphasise the resilience of communities in the face of such attacks. Stories of cultural preservation and resistance offer a glimmer of hope, showing how people strive to protect and reclaim their heritage despite the odds. This book is intended to be a thought-provoking and timely exploration of the intersection between culture and conflict. It calls for greater awareness and action to protect cultural heritage from being weaponised, urging readers to recognise the profound importance of preserving our shared history for future generations.
