Most emerging leaders feel stuck in a holding pattern, believing that their ability to make an impact is capped by their current title or the person above them on the org chart.

You have everything you need to start leading right where you are. Real influence starts here.

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. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

In this Irish folklore-inspired sapphic fantasy from #1 New York Times bestseller Allison Saft, a chess grandmaster must team up with her fae rival to save the person she loves the most. This deluxe edition features beautiful gilded edges, designed endpapers, and a foiled case stamp-while supplies last! Six years ago, Shea Fury's sister was whisked away by the High King of the Otherworld, the ruler of the treacherous land of fae. Although Shea has spent the years since dreaming of rescuing her sister from captivity, the Iron Veil that separates the human world from that of the fae has made it only a wish. That is, until an invitation to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime chess tournament in the Otherworld arrives on Shea's doorstep. The winner of the tournament may ask the High King to grant one wish, and Shea is finally within reach of hers. But entering the tournament and winning it are two different matters. Dark magic lurks around every corner in the Otherworld, and Shea's cutthroat opponents are willing to bend the rules to make their own wishes come true. To make it to the end-and to find her sister-she is forced to strike an alliance with her longtime rival, the sharply beautiful fae princess, Ciara of Bri Leith. One wrong move, though, and Shea could lose more than just the competition: She'd lose her sister, her dignity, and maybe even her life. In Immortal Game, Allison Saft has written a high-stakes sapphic love story brimming with competitive tension set against a lush, Irish folklore-inspired fantasy world.

From Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes, comes a smart, timely, clear-eyed guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and when the shortcut costs more than it saves. You already know how to go fast. What nobody taught you is when not to. In ASAP: As SLOW As Possible, Ann Handley rebels against the false urgency baked into modern work and life—and shows you how to recognize Slowments: the moments when slowing down is not weakness, hesitation, or delay. It's the smarter move. Because when everyone has access to the same shortcuts, the real edge is knowing when not to take them. With research, brain science, vivid storytelling, and Handley’s signature wit, ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals the hidden speed traps that weaken our judgment, creativity, and original thinking—especially in an age when AI makes the fastest path feel like the smartest one—and gives you a practical way to know when speed is serving you and when it’s taking you farther from what matters. You'll discover: <ul><li>The Hasty Progress Illusion—why motion can feel like mastery, even when nothing lasting is taking hold</li><li>The ASAP Matrix—how to know exactly when to autopilot, when to pause, and when a moment deserves more of you</li><li>The six Slowments in life and in work—the pivotal moments when slowing down changes what happens next</li><li>How to protect your judgment in a world eager to outsource it</li><li>When choosing analog leads to sharper ideas, wiser decisions, more creative approaches, stronger relationships, and meaningful work</li><li>How to stop confusing speed with progress—and start choosing the pace the moment actually requires</li></ul> ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals slowness as a generative force and for the first time gives you a way to harness life’s most important slow moments. Not by doing less, opting out, or becoming the kind of person who ferments things in a shed. But by knowing when speed helps—and when it hollows out the very thing you hoped it would serve. It’s time to choose the long road when the shortcut costs too much.

How To Stay Together

How can we stay connected without losing ourselves, and be ourselves without turning against one another? We are always falling apart and coming together. Families feud and reconcile. Teams splinter and regroup. Communities, organizations, and nations fragment, fight, ally, and unite. Our biggest problem isn’t falling apart and coming together—it’s falling apart or coming together. Increasingly we’re getting trapped in two dangerous extremes: <ul><li>Combat (separateness without togetherness): pulling back into hostile camps, weaponizing differences, and fracturing into polarization and isolation.</li><li>Subordination (togetherness without separateness): demanding harmony, erasing difference, and silencing dissent.</li></ul> Drawing on thirty-five years of work with diverse groups at all scales all around the world—from apartheid and civil war to everyday organizational and family dynamics—bestselling author Adam Kahane offers a practical way to navigate between these extremes. At the heart of his approach is a recognition of two fundamental universal drives: love, our drive to connect and unite with others as interdependent teammates, and power, our drive to do our thing and realize ourselves as independent parties. Kahane shows how these drives can be harmonized only&nbsp; through building justice: living containers—boundaries, rules of the game, and norms—that enable us to be both separate and together as interrelated kin. Through gritty, real-world stories from Kahane’s professional and personal experiences, readers will learn how to <ul><li>steer between combat and subordination;</li><li>work more skillfully with love, power, and justice;</li><li>repair structures and relationships that are cracking; and</li><li>create conditions for people to live and work together across their differences.</li></ul> For anyone trying to lead a family, team, organization, community, or nation so people can remain themselves and stay connected, Falling Apart and Coming Together offers a hopeful, practical path forward and a survival guide for a fracturing world.
