Leading People, Buildings, and Pressure

Visionary marketing insider, Christian Muche, Founder of the annual Possible conference, has built his career by turning bold ideas into transformative platforms that shape industries and inspire global audiences. In The Future Possible, Christian shares the latest groundbreaking innovation at the intersection of marketing and technology so that businesses of all types can learn what is needed to succeed over the coming decades.The key themes include: <ul><li>Trust as the primary currency (earned, measured, defended).</li><li>Moments as the flywheel that turns attention into adoption.</li><li>Networks as the distribution logic for ideas, products, and reputation.</li></ul>This is the playbook to building trust-first brands that travel across markets and media. Chapters include executive frameworks that leaders can apply immediately, and a clear way to lead through AI acceleration, cultural volatility, and the post-attention economy without whiplash.

The platform-backed blueprint for building the next generation of market-leading brands.

Leadership, Human Connection, and Creating What Comes Next

The Future Possible

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management: Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management: Lies provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

Passionately Transforming Management: Lies

This volume advances a critical conversation at the intersection of business management, innovation, and sustainable development by offering an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on how organizations can navigate complexity while driving long-term societal value. Bringing together insights from human resource management, technological transformation, and inclusive economic systems, the book develops a coherent framework for understanding how organizations translate strategy into impact.Structured across five thematic sections, the volume examines: the role of inclusive and ethical leadership in shaping organizational cultures; the mechanisms through which creativity and adaptive capabilities support resilient business models; the linkages between finance, development, and economic inclusion; the strategic implications of emerging digital technologies; and the growing influence of ESG and sustainability frameworks on organizational practice.Distinguished by its integration of theory and application, the book draws on established and emerging perspectives; including human-centered management approaches, innovation systems thinking, and digitally enabled transformation to illuminate the pathways through which organizations respond to contemporary challenges. It offers both conceptual clarity and practical insight into how firms can align performance with broader societal outcomes.This volume will be of particular interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand how management and innovation can be mobilized to address global development challenges. By situating organizational strategy within a broader socio-economic context, it provides a rigorous and forward-looking contribution to the evolving field of responsible and sustainable business.Ethel Ndidiamaka Abe

Rethinking Strategy, Entrepreneurship, and Technological Innovation in a Disruptive World

Managing and Innovating for Sustainable Development

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.

Lessons for Building a New Social Contract at Work

Roads Not Taken

How water infrastructure finance drives the size of our water bills, who can afford them, and the geography of urban landscapes. “Water crises” have emerged in the US with increasing regularity, from Flint, MI to Jackson, MS. Simultaneously, the rise in water bills for the past decade has far outpaced the rising cost of groceries, gas, or electricity, leading more Americans to add water to the growing list of their unaffordable basic necessities. Water and Wall Street by Martin Doyle, Lauren Patterson, and Erika Smull uncovers how the seemingly arcane world of infrastructure finance underlies these and other water trends in US cities, and how water infrastructure shapes the most basic landscape of cities and suburbs. The authors begin by describing the basics of how water infrastructure works, and more importantly, how it is financed by municipal bonds, the backbone of urban finance. They then trace the history of municipal bonds for water from the founding of Philadelphia in the eighteenth century to the bankruptcy of Detroit in the twenty-first. Along the way, they also explore financial geography: how water bills, water affordability, and the peculiarities of infrastructure finance create distinct geographies of water capital. Finally, they take a speculative look at alternative future states for our cities, our infrastructure, and our water.

Warum werden manche Menschen wahrgenommen, empfohlen und erinnert - während andere trotz großer Leistung unsichtbar bleiben?
Die Antwort ist kein Zufall. Sichtbarkeit ist heute ein entscheidender Erfolgsfaktor - für Unternehmer, Geschäftsführer, Führungskräfte und Selbstständige. Denn Produkte sind austauschbar, Strategien kopierbar. Menschen nicht. Wer überzeugen, Vertrauen gewinnen und langfristig Wirkung entfalten will, muss sichtbar werden.
In diesem Buch beschreibt Jochen Schweizer erstmals umfassend, wie aus einem Extremsportler, Unternehmer und TV-Investor eine der bekanntesten Personenmarken Deutschlands wurde. Er erzählt von Erfolgen und Rückschlägen, von Krisen und Neuanfängen, von Medienpräsenz und den Prinzipien, die ihn über Jahrzehnte getragen haben. Seine Erfahrungen bilden den Ausgangspunkt für eine umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, wie Sichtbarkeit entsteht und welche Bedeutung Personen- und Unternehmensmarken heute haben.

Doch das Buch bleibt nicht beim Persönlichen. Es verbindet Unternehmertum, Markenstrategie und Kommunikation und beleuchtet die Zusammenhänge zwischen Wahrnehmung, Reputation und Wirkung einer Marke.

Jochen Schweizer beschreibt unter anderem:

- warum Sichtbarkeit über Erfolg entscheidet,
- wie sich Personenmarke und Unternehmensmarke unterscheiden - und zusammenwirken,
- weshalb Authentizität wichtiger ist als Perfektion,
- wie Storytelling aus Aufmerksamkeit echtes Vertrauen schafft,
- welche Rolle Werte, Haltung und Glaubwürdigkeit spielen,
- und welche Bedeutung eine klare Positionierung für eine starke Marke hat.

Ungewöhnliche Beispiele erfolgreicher Unternehmer wie Samuel und Johannes Voetter mit ihrer Erfolgsgeschichte WIRmachenDRUCK und ein Gastbeitrag der PR-Agentur BETTERTRUST zeigen, dass Sichtbarkeit unterschiedliche Wege kennt.

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 and 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.

How Economists Use Natural Experiments to Decipher Our World

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

How Corporations Built Our Choices and Sold Our Freedom

Choose Your Captivity

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.
