Leading with clarity, character and quiet impact

A sitting CEO's guide to making safety a strategic leadership advantage In A Walk on the Safe Side: Leading with Science in an Uncertain World, Jennifer F. Scanlon, President and CEO of UL Solutions, a leading global safety science organization, states that "innovation without safety is failure." That's what makes safety a critical leadership responsibility-protecting a company's brands, reputation and financial strength. Scanlon shows how leaders can evaluate and address risks amid increasing complexity and fast-paced developments, across AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, supply chains, industrial and consumer products and more. A Walk on the Safe Side offers an insider's perspective from the helm of UL Solutions, the iconic organization descended from Underwriters Laboratories whose century-long legacy of testing and certification has provided assurance and certification for billions of products in the marketplace. Scanlon addresses how potential risks grow more numerous as leaders drive continuous improvement at a scale and pace that determines competitive advantage, providing a framework for safety-first decision-making. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How to elevate safety from an operational concern to a C-suite strategic imperative that builds trust and competitive advantage</li> <li>Practical approaches for leading through uncertainty by grounding organizational decisions in safety science, transparency, and rigorous standards</li> <li>Strategies for managing emerging risks in AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, and environmental protection </li> <li>Personal and professional insights drawn from Scanlon's two-time tenure as a CEO, leading both USG Corporation's international expansion and UL Solutions' successful 2024 IPO on the NYSE</li> <li>A leadership philosophy that treats safety as the currency of assurance, reflecting the highest responsibility organizations owe their stakeholders</li> </ul> A Walk on the Safe Side is written for business leaders, executives, and professionals, providing a roadmap for navigating risk, building trust, and driving growth while maintaining the highest standards of responsibility and transparency.

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Leadership with Goodness at Its Core

A Guide to the Business of Being a Children's Book Author or Illustrator

K Is for Kidlit

We are running our lives, teams, and organizations as though our resources are unlimited. They are not. Regenerative People names the cost of that assumption and offers a different way to work, lead, and live. Drawing on six decades of combined coaching and consulting experience, Janet M. Harvey and Silvia Tassarotti trace the shift from extraction to regeneration--from optimizing outcomes to evolving with them, from controlling uncertainty to partnering with it, and from isolating to protect what we have to interconnecting with what sustains us. Regenerative People moves through four expanding circles: the personal renewal that makes all of this possible, the leadership practices that build resilient teams, the organizational models that generate long-term value rather than short-term extraction, and the community-level shifts that make regeneration collective rather than individual. Each chapter pairs concepts with reflective questions and practices, inviting readers to slow down and apply what they're learning rather than simply collect more ideas. The authors write as guides, not lecturers, walking alongside readers the way Virgil walked beside Dante, offering models and questions in search of the reader's own answers. For coaches, executives, and anyone who senses that the old operating model is reaching its limits, this book offers both the diagnosis and the practice: a way to notice drift before it costs something irreplaceable and to deliberately choose a more enduring way to lead.

Regenerative People: Why Renewal Is Key to Lasting Leadership

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Longevity Leadership: Building Sustainable Performance Through Science-Backed Strategies

Sooner or later, most successful people hit a wall. The energy that fueled your success starts to wear thin. The achievements that once felt meaningful no longer do. The path forward feels unclear. Meanwhile, the world around you is moving faster than ever. Something is changing--in you, around you, or both--and the strategies that once worked no longer produce the same results. In Unstuck, change leadership expert Vered Kogan and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith explore why so many smart, capable people feel stuck and what it takes to break through. Drawing on decades of coaching high performers, they reveal that stuckness is not failure. More often, it points to your next level of growth. Blending behavioral science, leadership insight, practical tools, and deeply human stories, Unstuck helps readers recognize the hidden patterns driving stress, burnout, overthinking, perfectionism, and procrastination. You'll learn how to work with resistance instead of against it, regulate pressure before it hijacks your thinking, and create the internal conditions where real change can take hold. But this is about more than individual growth. It's also about helping teams and organizations break free from patterns that keep them trapped in outdated mindsets and ways of working. In an era of accelerating change, mounting complexity, and rising uncertainty, the leaders who thrive are those who can authentically influence others to grow and adapt under pressure. Unstuck offers a new playbook for navigating and leading change from the inside out, helping you build one of today's most valuable advantages: the ability to get unstuck and help others do the same.
