Sumeren M: A Return to Strategic
Leadership

A Return to Strategic Leadership

Judgment in the Age of AI

In a world of tremendous change, uncertainty, and simplistic AI-driven answers, it is easy to look to an uncertain future with anxiety. In The Leader's Oracle, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer Roopa Unnikrishnan shows that the wisest leaders instead look to the ancient past for inspiration. By channeling the Oracle of Delphi, these leaders ask better questions and challenge their organizations to transform. Offering a provocative lens on the future of strategic leadership, The Leader's Oracle is not just a book about strategy—it is a call for a cultural shift in how we lead, how we think, and how we build organizations. Through this uniquely powerful framework, readers examine and harness the timeless wisdom of the ancients to help their own business and career: <ul><li>operate at the edge of clarity</li><li>interpret patterns and possibilities</li><li>provoke transformation, not comfort </li><li>serve the powerful, but answer to the truth</li><li>protect future-facing wisdom in a reactive world</li></ul> This unique framework on business strategy and leadership explores a critical paradox in today’s corporate environment: in a world obsessed with operational excellence and short-term wins while struggling with historic transformational changes, we often neglect the voices of the long-term thinkers, the strategic questioners, the ones who highlight or introduce ambiguity to force clarity. The Leader's Oracle serves as a call to arms for leaders, board members, and aspiring strategists to embrace their inner Delphic voice—one that cuts through noise, evokes questions, and drives tectonic shifts, not just tactical maneuvers.

Using Ancient Wisdom to Improve Strategy and Decision-Making

The Leader's Oracle

We've all heard it: the pace of change is accelerating, new technologies are reshaping the business landscape, the world is increasingly chaotic. True, but not helpful. What we need is a way to thrive inside the speed, change, and chaos.

Disrupted shows you how. 

In this practical, field-tested guide, Andre W. Thornton translates high-performance principles into simple, repeatable actions you can use when it matters most, whether you're leading a team, steering an organization, or recalibrating your career.

Inside you'll learn to:
Stabilize under stress using neuroscience-based tools that re-center focus and chemistry in the moment.

Align purpose and performance with the 1440 Method, a time architecture that connects your minutes to your mission.

Rewire your response to pressure through Cognitive Calibration, practices that reset your brain chemistry and regulate emotion.

Accelerate through uncertainty with seven repeatable habits that build adaptability and trust:Embrace Uncertainty
Put Why Over What
Engineer Your Strengths
Be Vulnerable
Care About Others
Inspire Accountability
Want to Be Wrong



Each chapter ends with Reading + Reps-quick, practical actions to build your disruption-readiness muscles.

Why It Matters
Disruption isn't an interruption anymore-it's the environment we lead in. Whether you're guiding a team through change or navigating your own reinvention, this book gives you the tools to raise your baseline, shorten your recovery, and build momentum through change.

Disruption isn't a detour-it's the road.
Disrupted shows you how to drive it.

Perfect for: readers of Brené Brown, James Clear, Simon Sinek, and Carol Dweck-leaders, founders, and professionals ready to grow stronger through disruption.

The 2 Stabilizers and 7 Accelerators of Growth Through Chaos

Disrupted

'Ascendent Leadership: Case studies, Field notes, Reflections, Strategies' speaks to the myriad of functions, departments and roles across the sectors of a growing and aspirational economy as young and developed as Nepal. It affirms that every sector matters and every little role in every organisation has a voice in leadership. This book is a celebration of the good and a call to the not-so-good practices of Leadership, the best and the next, and the not yet thought of.

Field notes, Case studies, Reflections, Strategies

Ascendent Leadership

What if you could build the business you've always imagined-without a large team or technical expertise?
AI is changing what one determined person can create. Tasks that once demanded entire departments, from market research and branding to customer support, financial planning, sales, and operations, can now be started faster, tested sooner, and managed smarter. But knowing that AI is powerful is not the same as knowing how to use it.
Artificial Intelligence for Business turns possibility into a practical path forward.
Drawing on more than 100 real-world examples from Amazon, Microsoft, Toyota, Netflix, Nike, NVIDIA, Walmart, and Coca-Cola, this book reveals how AI is transforming business itself. More importantly, it shows aspiring entrepreneurs how to apply the same principles at their own scale before hiring a team, raising money, or launching.
Through eight original frameworks, you will learn how to evaluate business ideas, identify opportunities worth pursuing, choose the right tasks for AI, avoid costly mistakes, and keep human judgment at the center of every important decision. You do not need to be a programmer, data scientist, or experienced founder. You need curiosity, ambition, and a place to begin.
Whether your business exists only as an idea, is taking shape after hours, or is ready for its next stage of growth, this book will help you move from wondering what AI can do to understanding what you can build with it.
Your business may exist as an idea today. With AI, you can run a successful business.

How to Create Your Future with Confidence

An inspiring, candid memoir of leadership in times of adversity—by the former CEO of Disney and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ride of a Lifetime Robert Iger was less than a year into his retirement when he got an urgent phone call from the chair of the Disney board: Would he be willing to return to his job as CEO? Finances were shaky, leadership was flagging, morale was dangerously low, and the brand was tarnished. They needed him back. It wasn’t going to be easy this time around. The entertainment industry was facing existential threats: movie theaters had suffered in the pandemic, traditional TV was fading, and audiences were moving, at alarming speed, toward streaming platforms and short-form content. It was harder to deliver profit, let alone growth. Legacy media everywhere was being split up, getting swallowed by other companies, or simply running itself into the ground. When Iger agreed to return, he did so with one goal in mind: to put the failed succession behind him and put Disney back on firm footing. To survive, the company—and Iger himself—would have to become more resilient, innovative, and, above all, creative. Iger would also have to learn to be a new kind of leader, and he would be challenged in ways he never imagined. How do you lead through periods of adversity? How do you regain the trust of employees, customers, and shareholders? Iger would have to develop a new playbook, for a new era, and he would make his share of mistakes along the way. One Last Time is the story of the sometimes bumpy, never boring journey to reconnect a great company to its core values, while building a new, lasting foundation in a highly disruptive and rapidly changing world.

AI is everywhere. The value is not.

Organisations buy licences, launch pilots, build applications and train employees. Yet the hardest question often goes unanswered: what has demonstrably improved?

Why Organisations Fail with AI-and Others Don't explains why technology is rarely the real bottleneck. The real difference lies in an organisation's ability to build AI, govern it and realise value. A successful pilot is not yet a robust capability. Governance only matters when someone can actually intervene. And productivity only counts when work, capacity, customer value or earning power genuinely changes.

Michiel Krol connects strategy, technology, organisation design, leadership and governance with practical experience. He shows how seemingly sensible AI initiatives stall when technology advances faster than the organisation around it-and what leaders must organise differently to move from experimentation to sustainable results.

At the heart of the book are three board-level questions: Can we build it? Can we govern it? Can we realise value from it? These questions are developed through the AI Capability Framework, seven interconnected capability groups and ten recognisable capability paradoxes. Together they provide a practical lens for decisions about strategy, investment, people, risk, operating models and performance.

The book also examines the deeper organisational consequences of AI. What happens to professional development when AI takes over the tasks through which juniors traditionally learn? How do organisations preserve meaningful human oversight? When does outsourcing accelerate progress but weaken internal learning capability? How should leaders think about cybersecurity, supplier dependency, digital sovereignty and the EU AI Act? And what evidence should cause an earlier AI decision to be reconsidered?

Written for board members, executives and senior managers who must make decisions about AI without being AI specialists themselves-and for the professionals who advise them-this is not a tool guide, trend book or hype story. It is an accessible but intellectually substantial management book for leaders who want to connect technology, people, processes, governance and value as one coherent system.

The technology is already here. The difference will be made by the organisation that learns best what it needs to become.
