Cole J: Disrupters at the Gate

Disrupters at the Gate

When Visionaries, Trailblazers, and Two Guys in a Garage Turn the World Upside Down

Scent, Power, and Empire

The Lost History of Perfume

Leading the M&A Moments That Matter

Step Forward

Why do proven leaders fail when they reach the top? Not for lack of intelligence, effort, or experience—but for something the usual evaluations never catch. In Seven Blindspots, Nathan Jenner distills decades of executive assessment into a diagnostic framework that reveals seven recurring blindspots most organizations miss. These gaps don't surface in interviews or performance reviews. They emerge when leaders must align teams, make high-stakes decisions, and carry an organization through uncertainty. Combining boardroom experience with behavioral insight, Jenner shows how these patterns form, how they derail even high performers, and how to detect them before a succession decision is made. His system is built for boards, CEOs, and talent leaders to evaluate candidates, run succession with rigor, and develop senior talent for the most demanding roles—where the consequences truly matter.

Seven Blindspots

The contemporary gold industry is a globe-straddling empire. This is the untold story of the power, money and violence that built it. Today, Barrick Gold Corporation is one of the richest and most powerful gold-mining companies in the world. But behind the glitter lies an ugly reality: allegations of environmental destruction, collusion with authoritarian regimes and ruthless criminality. In this masterful corporate saga, investigative journalist Richard Poplak traces Barrick's rise from humble origins to global dominance, exposing the politicians, arms dealers, mercenaries and miners who made it possible - and the activists who risked everything to fight back. Spanning the 1940s to the present, this searing investigation uncovers a shocking history of multinational power and human greed, revealing how it shaped the global economic system as we know it.

In a novel application of the work of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics to the philosophy of business, Robert CB Miller argues that free-market capitalism requires virtues to mitigate its flaws and to enhance its strengths. Ethics in a Capitalist Economy begins with an outline of modern virtue ethics, deriving from Aristotle and Aquinas and reinvigorated in the 20th century by writers including Elizabeth Anscombe and Philippa Foot. Taking up the idea that human nature determines the virtues, Miller sets out three types of virtue specific to economic activity: contractual, behavioural and entrepreneurial. With reference to major historical and contemporary thinkers including Adam Smith, John Locke, David Hume, Alasdair MacIntyre, Mary Midgeley and Steven Pinker, the book shows the flaws in the market economy and the ways in which these flaws can be mitigated by the application of particular virtues in order to encourage human flourishing. The book includes three case studies investigating the practice (or absence) of virtues in real world situations: on the career of Warren Buffett, on insights from behavioural economics and on the philanthropic efforts of business leaders. This book combines practical considerations with a detailed and accessible reading of the theory of virtue ethics and its relation to human nature in political economy.

Why Markets Need Virtues

Ethics in a Capitalist Economy

What works-and what doesn't-when companies try to do goodCan companies really be "socially responsible"-and should they try? This debate is newly urgent as consumers, employees, and investors push companies to take a stand on everything from climate change to inequality. In this lively and clear-eyed book, economist Ray Fisman cuts through the rhetoric around "doing well by doing good" to show what actually changes corporate behavior and what doesn't-and what corporations should really do if they have society's interests at heart. He will answer questions many of us may be asking:¿ Will consumers pay more for eco-friendly products? ¿ Will employees work harder if they're paid a living wage? ¿ Do ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds make a difference? ¿ Should you pay more for fair-trade coffee at your local café? (Yes, you should.)Drawing on decades of evidence, Fisman examines which approaches to corporate responsibility make a genuine difference-and which are cheap talk, or worse. The result is a practical framework for understanding the tradeoffs between profit and purpose, recognizing which efforts to do good are likely to succeed, and how your choices can push companies to do better.

The Economics of Making Business Do the Greatest Good

The Model Company

Drama in the workplace is natural, toxic, and optional. Most teams don’t fail because they lack drive or expertise. They break down under the slow grind of drama. Not the explosive kind, but the everyday, compounding frictions that everyone feels and no one names: meetings that go nowhere, issues that never get resolved, and tensions that sap energy and engagement. This “drama tax” erodes trust, stalls decisions, and diminishes performance, often right when the business stakes are highest. No Drama Teams is an intensely actionable guide to recovering this lost momentum. Told through the unfolding story of a real team under enormous pressure, the book shows scene-by-scene how drama is created and how it can be dismantled in real time. Along the way, renowned leadership coaches Diana Chapman and Jim Dethmer share their proven drama-busting tools, like recognizing when you're stuck on the drama triangle, “teaching the class” to end repeating problems, and making clean agreements that people actually keep. Part narrative, part guidebook, the book culminates in a six-month plan that anyone in any industry can use to replace blame with ownership, avoidance with candor, and drag with traction. Every team is paying for drama, whether they see it or not. No Drama Teams will show you how to cut the cost so you can get the full return on your time, energy, and talent.

No Drama Teams

A forthcoming Metropolitan nonfiction title to be published on March 30, 2027

Half your newsfeed says you're hopelessly behind on AI. The other half says it's a sham. Both are engineered to make you click - and both lead to the same place: paralysis. Because what passes for AI expertise right now is mostly a temporary information advantage masquerading as expertise. *Fair Game* is the way out. Rob Collie knows that paralysis firsthand. As CEO of a data consulting firm, he watched AI threaten to upend the very business he'd spent a decade building. When fear finally drove him to dig in, what he discovered was unexpected: AI success isn't really about AI. It's about data - and the software around it. Problems he's been solving for thirty years. This book is the distillation of what Collie and his team learned building real AI solutions for real businesses - not theorizing from a stage. *Fair Game* walks you through how AI systems actually work, not at the PhD level, and not at the hand-wavy keynote level, but at the Goldilocks level where real decisions get made. You'll learn: - A five-part recipe for AI success you can apply to any project - Why successful AI is always custom AI - and why "custom" is less scary than it sounds - How to evaluate any AI proposal, hire the right team, and know when you're being sold snake oil You'll understand everything from how LLMs actually work to why your proprietary business knowledge is the one thing AI can't get on its own - all without jargon and using analogies you'll actually remember. Each chapter ends with a practical cheatsheet you can bring to your next meeting. By the time you've finished, the five-part recipe won't feel like a framework. It'll feel like common sense. You don't need to become an engineer. You need to become an architect - someone who knows what to build, what to demand, and what to call BS on. Because AI isn't out of reach. It's fair game.

Customizing AI to Your Business Is Easier Than You Think

Fair Game

This book uses semiotics to study the design of a selection of banknotes and coins currently circulating in the American and European continents. &gt;Moreover, it aims to show how currency design is an enunciative praxis and hence, an activity shaped by cultural conventions that can be approached as a specific discursive genre. In a nutshell, the book demonstrates how, beyond their economic function, banknotes and coins serve as the material support for a visual type of cultural semiosis linked to the nation and the state. The units of any currency system can be approached as visual texts expressing contents linked with specific social discourses and ideas. Since these texts are created and regulated by the state, they convey meanings that relate to discourses about statehood and, with it, the nation. Informed by analyses of the United States dollar, the Canadian dollar, the British pound sterling, the Swiss franc, the Brazilian real, the Uruguayan peso, the Argentinean peso and the euro, the book highlights the relevance of studying currency design in the scholarly efforts to understand the discursive construction of states and nations.
