Why Organizations Keep Failingat the Things That Matter Most

Authoritative reference on microgreen production, nutrition, and food applications Researchers and food scientists seeking rigorous, consolidated coverage of microgreen science now have a dedicated resource. Microgreens: Production, Nutritional Compositions, and Food Applications, edited by a team of experienced food science and agriculture researchers, systematically addresses cultivation technologies, nutritional composition, bioavailability, health-promoting properties, and commercial food applications of microgreens within a single, structured volume. Coverage spans seed biology, photosynthesis, and growth mechanisms alongside modern cultivation methods including hydroponics, vertical farming, and controlled environment agriculture. Plant family-specific chapters detail nutritional profiles and bioactive compounds of Amaranthaceae, Brassicaceae, and Fabaceae microgreens. Additional sections address post-harvest handling, preservation techniques, flavor optimization, global safety standards, and regulatory frameworks for commercial production. The book also covers: <ul> <li>Antioxidant activity, inflammation control, glycemic regulation, and cardiovascular support properties documented across multiple microgreen species and families</li> <li>Biotechnological advances and economic potential analyses for scaling microgreen production from small-scale farming to commercial operations</li> <li>Processing methods, preservation techniques, and flavor optimization strategies for incorporating microgreens into commercial food products</li> <li>Innovative applications in space agriculture and regenerative farming systems that extend microgreen utility beyond conventional food production</li> <li>Actionable cultivation strategies for optimizing yield, safety, and nutritional composition in both controlled environment and traditional growing settings</li> </ul> Designed for food scientists, product development managers, R&amp;D specialists, nutritionists, agricultural researchers, and policymakers, this volume connects microgreen production science with commercial food applications and sustainability goals, providing the evidence base needed to advance both research programs and industry practice.

How to Be a Leader

Sleep isn't passive rest, but a critical driver of performance.In high-pressure environments, sleep is often the first thing to go. Long hours are treated as commitment. Pushing through is expected. But the cost builds, often in ways we don't immediately see, leading to distraction, poor decisions, emotional reactivity and missed signals.In this groundbreaking guide, sleep neuroscientist and executive advisor Els van der Helm, PhD, shows that sleep is not just a habit to optimise. It's a system to understand.Blending cutting-edge research with real-world stories and interviews - from global executives to frontline professionals - Dr van der Helm reframes sleep as a hidden driver of performance, resilience and leadership. Her practical, science-backed six-principle framework reveals how we can: <ul><li>Identify our chronotype and align our schedule with peak performance windows</li><li>Use chronotherapy to align work, energy, and recovery across the day</li><li>Understand how REM sleep supports emotional control, creativity, and decision-making - and how to protect it</li><li>Use strategic napping to recover faster and sustain high performance</li><li>Navigate periods of poor sleep, reducing the impact of bad nights and building long-term resilience</li><li>Become a 'sleep leader,' rethinking how work and life are structured to make sustained performance possible, at work and at home</li></ul> Perfect for leaders, ambitious professionals and anyone operating in high-demand environments, Sleep Intelligence offers a new way of thinking about sleep - and how we work, recover and live as a result.

In a world that worships disruption, the most revolutionary thing you can do is hold steady. For more than a decade, Whitney Johnson preached the gospel of disruption. She co-founded the Disruptive Innovation Fund with Clayton Christensen. Disruption is in her company's name. But over time, a pattern emerged: The leaders and organizations coming to her didn't need more disruption. They needed stability, the very thing our culture has trained us to overlook. Drawing on original research with over 300 professionals across industries, Johnson reveals a striking finding: 96 percent of employees want more stability or a balanced approach to change, yet they experience disruption at nearly twice the rate their managers perceive. The result? Burnout, turnover, and organizations that exhaust themselves with motion that never becomes progress. Meanwhile, research shows companies with stable foundations deliver 80 percent higher shareholder returns over a decade than their peers. Johnson's Steady will show you how to build stability within organizations, how to identify and champion the people doing the invisible work of holding things together, and how to cultivate the inner steadiness that lets you be a grounding force for others. For leaders who have leaned into disruption and found themselves exhausted, for those who sense the relentless churn isn't working, Steady offers a framework for something different. And for those who have been doing the stabilizing work all along, this book is a declaration: Your work matters. It has always mattered.

Build a Future-Ready Organization Where Every Employee Can Succeed
Succession planning, while often talked about, remains one of the least successfully implemented leadership practices in an organization’s toolkit. Too often, organizations rely on outdated methods like “successor spotting,” grooming, secret conversations behind closed doors, or focusing only on a select group of “high potentials.” These approaches create bias, limit opportunity, and fail to prepare organizations for the realities of today’s fast-changing workforce. Succession Planning Reimagined introduces developmental succession planning, a modern, inclusive strategy that empowers every employee to grow and contribute to future success.
Through research-based insights and practical tools, you’ll learn how to transform succession planning from a static, murky process into a dynamic, people-centered strategy. You’ll discover the “secret sauce” for success: engaging employees, connecting development to organizational goals, and supporting growth at every stage. Each chapter provides clear steps for:
<ul>
<li>Assessing future needs</li>
<li>Building top-level and next-level plans</li>
<li>Creating measurable progress through continuous refinement</li>
</ul>
Whether you’re an HR leader, OD consultant, L&amp;D professional, or talent strategist, this book equips you to build authentic leadership pipelines that foster equity, readiness, and resilience. By embracing a proactive, developmental approach, you’ll prepare your organization for what’s next while creating a culture in which every employee feels valued and prepared for the future. If you’re ready to move beyond outdated models and design a succession strategy that works for today’s workforce, this guide will show you how to make it happen.

Building Future Readiness at All Levels

Succession Planning Reimagined

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell

The Hidden Power of Embracing Limits

Inside the Box

Lawton Robert Burns is the James Joo-Jin Kim Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a professor in the Departments of Management and Health Care Management at the Wharton School.

Healthcare systems in the United States have engaged in multiple strategies of diversification over the past four decades. These strategies include horizontal integration, vertical integration, market diversification, unrelated business diversification, and financial risk contracts. Most of these strategies have not worked well. A growing number of these systems have already gone bankrupt, while others are teetering on bankruptcy. This volume depicts the strategies undertaken, the difficulties encountered, and the ensuing financial tragedy at three prominent systems: Allegheny Health Education and Research Foundation (AHERF), Jefferson Health System, and Steward Health Care. It also develops a grounded theory of how and why such bankruptcies occur.

The grounded theory identifies the main drivers of bankruptcy. These include forces at work in the executive suite, such as self-interest, self-preservation, and mimicry of other firms. Executives are also encouraged by investment bankers to enter into diversification strategies that involve acquisitions of other companies and grow the footprint of their organizations. In sum, executives are driven by personal ambitions and aspirations for their firms. Another set of drivers include lack of oversight exercised by the firm's board of directors, the speed with which diversification is undertaken, the lack of due diligence in reviewing other firms that are acquired, the failure to learn the historical lessons of other companies that have undertaken diversification, the failure to undertake strategies that are rooted in empirical evidence, the inability of diversifying firms to manage the complexity of the diverse operations they undertake and the diverse markets into which they diversify, the choice of the wrong markets to diversity into and the timing of these choices, and the failure to consider whether such strategies can succeed in an industry as complex as healthcare.

If that were not enough, other forces can doom diversification efforts. These include the lack of sufficient capital to sustain diversification, the resulting reliance on debt capital which often swamps firms, and the many mistaken beliefs and assumptions held by executives. Finally, environmental changes and unforeseen events severely challenge corporate strategy. Such changes often plague efforts to undertake risk contracting. None of these changes or events are considered in strategic planning.
