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.

Leadership, Human Connection, and Creating What Comes Next

The Future Possible

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.

The Handbook for Making Better Decisions Faster

Decide in an Hour

Burnout can’t be solved with just perks or stress-reduction workshops. It's solved by changing how leaders engage their teams—a practical shift that requires no new resources. Grounded in peer-reviewed research, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in everyday workplace conversations can spark energy, revive exhausted teams, and build workplaces where people thrive. Every leader is dealing with burnout and looking for something they can actually do tomorrow morning, and this is it. In this book, leadership scholar Amy Young, with Kim Cameron, reveals how everyday communication creates relational energy, the powerful force that fuels engagement, creativity, resilience, health and well-being, and performance across teams. Drawing on interviews with energizing leaders and weaving in supporting peer-reviewed research, Young unlocks the secrets to thriving amid uncertainty and disruption due to AI automation, fragile labor markets, cultural divisiveness, and relentless workplace demands. Through vivid real-world examples, you'll discover how energizing leaders sustain their own vitality while lifting their teams at the same time, simply by rethinking how they approach everyday conversations. You'll learn how to turn those ordinary interactions into extraordinary ones, providing a practical, no-cost antidote to workplace stress and burnout. In this book, you will learn <ul><li>how relational energy promotes workplace well-being and performance, creating the foundation for sustainable organizational success;</li><li>strategies energizing leaders use to maintain their own energy levels while navigating the same modern workplace pressures that impact their teams;</li><li>how to have workplace conversations that generate healthy perceptions of challenge and stress and reduce burnout while building resilience and team solidarity;</li><li>specific language choices (wording, pronoun selection, questions, and declarative statements) that empower employees, elevate teams, and drive productivity; and</li><li>how to acknowledge hard realities while building genuine hope and resilience, avoiding toxic positivity that saps energy.</li></ul> Practical, research driven, and immediately applicable, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in language can create extraordinary impact, recharging people, teams, and entire organizations.

The best part is, these changes have big impact but come with no cost. In this book, leaders learn how to <ul><li>use the language of belonging to help employees feel valued, respected, and connected;</li><li>turn everyday conversations into sources of relational energy that boost motivation and performance;</li><li>build trust through respectful dialogue, listening, and authentic presence;</li><li>navigate difficult conversations without draining morale or relationships;</li><li>create positive team interactions that spread energy across organizations; and</li><li>replace burnout cultures with communication practices that spark engagement and well-being.</li></ul> Practical, research-driven, and immediately applicable, Relational Energy shows leaders how small changes in language can create extraordinary impact, recharging people, teams, and entire organizations.

Characteristics of Japanese visual narratives are depicted in this book, shedding light on cultural, institutional, and industrial aspects of reproducible contents. The book consists of three parts which deal with the Japanese contents industry, the hypervariety industry revolution, and related case studies, respectively. The first part proposes points of view for organizing research on the Japanese contents industry. The authors explain characteristics of the industry from the standpoint of cultural, institutional, and industrial strata. The second part explains the system of revolution in the industry as a hypervariety industry. The Japanese contents industry implicitly predicts the next innovation system, which will be hypervarietal but not top-down or Hollywood style as in the Western economy. The third part provides case studies on phenomena such as the comics market, Akihabara: a cross-cultural town, Cool Japan, and animation.

Gute Führung ist kein Zufallsprodukt. Sie ist Handwerk. Und Handwerk kann man lernen. 
 Dieses Buch handelt von Führung. Aber eigentlich handelt es von uns allen: im Büro, zuhause, im Supermarkt, im Straßenverkehr. Kein Arschloch zu sein ist eine Lebenseinstellung. Und gleich mal zur Einordnung: Niemand ist ein Arschloch. Man kann sich aber wie eines verhalten. Das ist gleich zu Beginn ein wichtiger Unterschied: Wäre man ein Arschloch, dann wäre das nicht veränderbar. Verhält man sich wie eines, dann kann man sich auch anders verhalten. Und genau darum soll es hier gehen.

 
 Erzählt wird eine Geschichte. Im Mittelpunkt steht Bernd, eine engagierte Führungskraft, bei der es trotzdem knirscht. Mit einem Coach an seiner Seite lernt er Schritt für Schritt, was gute Führung ausmacht. Mit Rückschlägen, Aha-Momenten und einem Happy End. Unterwegs sammelt er viele Werkzeuge, die sich am nächsten Arbeitstag anwenden lassen. Für alle, die führen. Und für alle, die es bald tun werden.

 'Kein klassisches Fachbuch, sondern ein Roman, der eigentlich ein Fachbuch ist. Ich war wirklich in der Story drin und neugierig, wie es weitergeht.' 
 Dr. Markus Ebner, Begründer des PERMA-Lead-Modells

 
 Fundament des Buches ist Positive Leadership, genauer gesagt der PERMA-Lead-Ansatz, ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes Führungsmodell auf Basis der Positiven Psychologie. Die fünf Hebel dahinter

 <ul><li>positive Emotionen ermöglichen (Positive Emotions),</li><li>individuelles Engagement fördern (Engagement),</li><li>tragfähige Beziehungen schaffen (Relationships),</li><li>Sinn in der Arbeit vermitteln (Meaning) und</li><li>Erfolge sichtbar machen (Accomplishment)</li></ul>
 lernt man beim Lesen kennen. So wie Bernd: einen nach dem anderen.

 Über den Autor 
 Dr. Bernd Bürger ist Polizeidirektor, Forscher und einer der wenigen Menschen, die wissen, wie es sich anfühlt, beim G20-Gipfel in Hamburg mit über 150 Spezialkräften im Steinhagel für Menschen und Entscheidungen verantwortlich zu sein - und später eine Studie über Wohlbefinden am Arbeitsplatz zu schreiben.

 
 Als zertifizierter Advanced PERMA-Lead® Consultant trainiert Bernd Führungskräfte in Deutschland, der Schweiz, den Niederlanden, in Großbritannien und in den USA. An der Polizeiakademie der Niederlande leitet er ein Modul im Masterstudiengang für angehende Führungskräfte. Seit 2020 ist er Fachbereichsleiter Führung und Einsatz beim Fortbildungsinstitut der Bayerischen Polizei.

'Almost Reckless isn't just a book, it's a permission slip.

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead.

On Retiring

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

For senior leaders whose strong record no longer settles the question being asked about them. Former global C-suite executive and executive coach Azhar Syed explains why strong performance stops being enough for senior advancement—and what changes when it does. Senior leaders are often surprised when the qualities that built their careers no longer move them forward. They deliver strong results, develop deep expertise, make important contributions, and earn support from influential people, yet they still are not chosen for broader responsibility. Syed identifies 6 familiar metrics leaders use to make the case for advancement: <ul><li>Results: “Look What I Have Delivered”</li><li>Expertise: “Look What I Know”</li><li>Personal Contribution: “Look What I Do”</li><li>Judgment: “Look How Right I Am”</li><li>Sponsorship: “Look Who Backs Me”</li><li>Reputation: “Look How I Have Changed”</li></ul> Each metric reflects a real way of creating value. But none, by itself, fully answers the question senior decision-makers are trying to resolve: Can this leader be trusted with greater risk, broader consequences, and decisions that affect the whole organization? Syed explains why becoming indispensable can keep a leader tied to a current role, why being right does not establish judgment at a wider radius unless others can test and carry the decision, why a powerful sponsor cannot make an appointment defensible on the leader’s behalf, and why genuine change may go unnoticed by the people whose expectations matter. Readers will learn what broader responsibility asks of them, what their record currently establishes, what decision-makers may reasonably infer, and how to distinguish between a gap they can address and a barrier embedded in the organization. Clear and candid, this book helps senior leaders understand why their established evidence may no longer settle the next decision—and what their record needs to establish before others can confidently trust them with more.

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

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.
