Leadership has entered a new era-one where pressure doesn't arrive and leave but lingers. Where crises overlap. Where resilience is no longer optional, and connection alone is no longer enough.
 In Rally, former LVMH and Disney senior executive and global leadership advisor Greg Morley delivers a timely, deeply human guide to leading when uncertainty is constant and the stakes feel personal.
 Drawing on his own leadership journey and the powerful stories of twelve figures whose lives span genocide survival, entrepreneurial collapse, caregiving, terminal illness, and professional reinvention, Morley shows that resilience is not grit, toughness, or blind endurance. It is the ability to stay steady, connected, and clear-headed under pressure without leaving damage behind.
 Rally builds on the foundation of Morley's acclaimed first book, Bond, moving beyond belonging to answer a harder question: How do leaders mobilize people when the ground is shifting, and fear is close at hand?
 Each chapter offers practical, research-backed guidance for the moments leaders face most often and are least prepared for:
 How to stabilize yourself before mobilizing others
How to tell the truth without creating fear
How to hold perspective when stakes feel overwhelming
How to design support instead of playing hero
How to stay grounded when success changes the rules.



 Written with clarity, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom, Rally is a book about becoming reliable under pressure for your teams, your organization, and yourself. If you want to be more resilient, this book is for you.

A Guide to Building Resilience

Rally

In today's complex and uncertain world, urban and territorial resilience is vital. From natural and human-made disasters to climate change and globalization, cities and regions face challenges that demand preparedness, adaptability, and transformability, i.e., the capacity to absorb shocks. As social-ecological and complex adaptive systems, they must strengthen their ability to respond and transform. Cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as a territorial asset that enhances resilience by providing identity, tangible resources, and historical knowledge useful for risk prevention and management. In the 21st century, heritage-whether underwater, rural, or embedded in urban space -is seen not as a remnant of the past but as a living system and a source of identity, creativity, economic innovation, cohesion, and environmental sustainability. This Reprint responds to the need to rethink the role of heritage in building resilience by assembling twelve articles that examine its activation across diverse geographic contexts (marine, urban, rural, etc.). The contributions converge on a pivotal argument: heritage must shift from a preservation-focused paradigm to one of active contribution, becoming a strategic asset within place-based development and a driver of new economic activities and innovation. The papers span the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe and address varied forms of heritage, including maritime and underwater cultural heritage, architectural ensembles, vernacular landscapes, traditional practices, and cultural-creative industries.

Cultural Heritage as a Contributor to Territorial/Urban Resilience

Right now, the chances are that the world is changing faster than your organization. And it won't be slowing down any time soon.If your organization is stuck in the old model of change - unfreeze, move, refreeze - sooner or later you'll fall so far behind that you fall over. Instead of relying solely on change management skills, what you also need now is Adaptability Intelligence. When you move your people from fear of change to freedom to change, you set them up for higher productivity, better leadership and transformational change - forever.Those who are more adaptable don't just bounce back from adversity, they bounce higher, able to see any change as the chance to make a difference to others and to challenge themselves. They have the confidence to face an uncertain future knowing that they're ready to make the most of whatever happens next.When everything changes, all the time, adaptability is the only future-proof skill, and the one that unlocks all the others.Rich Alderton has been leading change for over 25 years, in roles that have included head of a billion-dollar supply chain, regional CEO of a global No.1, and board member of a listed company. He now runs a leadership development practice, with a diverse client list that ranges from agritech start-ups in NZ to the UK's NHS.

THE MILLIONTH STONE

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Motiv Behinderung innerhalb des Jesajabuches und welche (ethischen) Auswirkungen dieses Motiv auf unser heutiges Verständnis von Behinderung besitzt. Gerade das Jesajabuch besitzt eine wirkungsreiche Rezeption in Theologie, Kirche und allgemein in unserer Gesellschaft, die auch unser gegenwärtiges Bild von Menschen mit Behinderungen prägt. In dieser Arbeit wird daher ein Dreischritt vollzogen. Im ersten Schritt werden alle Texte des Jesajabuches historisch kritisch analysiert, in denen körperliche Behinderungen explizit erwähnt werden. In einem zweiten Schritt beleuchtet die Autorin die Darstellungsformen von Behinderung auf einer ethischnarrativen und einer metaphorischen Ebene und zieht dazu Ansätze der Disability Studies und der Kognitiven Literaturwissenschaften heran. In einem dritten Schritt werden die Ergebnisse schließlich mit gegenwärtigen medizin, bio und sozialethischen Debatten in Bezug gesetzt.

Power of Positive Habits

Leadership has a friction problem. 
 Not because people are weak.
 Not because teams are broken.
 Not because organizations lack talent.
Because work is happening under more pressure, with fewer buffers, less context, and more opportunities for human strain to spread quickly.
Everything about modern work is built for speed. But human beings are not.
In Friction, Maggie Sass and Ross Blankenship argue that the invisible force shaping performance, retention, trust, decision quality, and culture is not just workload or poor communication. It is friction: the emotional tension that shows up when being human collides with high expectations.
And most of us have never been taught what to do with it.
We tend to think of leadership as strategy and execution, and emotions as a side effect. But the truth is, many workplace breakdowns happen in the moments right before and after something small but charged: a triggering comment, a tense silence, a missed expectation, a rushed decision, a piece of feedback, a conversation that goes slightly sideways and is never fully repaired.
That is where friction lives. 
And that is where this book begins.
Drawing on original research from a broad, generalizable sample of the U.S. working population, Sass and Blankenship introduce a practical new framework for understanding how emotions actually show up at work—and what effective professionals and leaders can do about them. They show that friction is not random, and it is not merely personal. It happens across three levels at once:
<ul><li>Internal friction: what is happening inside you including your reactions, identity, forecasting, and nervous system 
</li><li>Interpersonal friction: what is happening between people, such as trust, defensiveness, feedback, and repair 
</li><li>System friction: what is happening in the environment—norms, incentives, staffing, policies, and decision structures</li></ul>
Because friction is contagious, solving only one layer rarely works. 
Read Friction if:
<ul><li>You want a better explanation for why smart, capable people still struggle at work 
</li><li>You want practical tools for handling pressure without passing it on 
</li><li>You are trying to lead or collaborate in conditions that feel faster, hotter, and less forgiving than they used to 
</li><li>You know culture problems often show up in small moments first </li><li>You want to get better at noticing tension early and responding on purpose 
</li><li>You are looking for a leadership book that connects self-awareness, relationships, and systems instead of treating them separately</li></ul>
Friction shows readers how to reduce the costly kind of friction, like avoidable conflict, rework, resentment, poor follow-through, spirals, and decision drag, while using productive friction to sharpen thinking, strengthen relationships, and improve outcomes.
Inside, readers will discover strategies including:
Calibrating Your Inner Forecaster.A practical method for noticing when your predictions are being shaped by threat, fatigue, or identity pressure so you can respond with more accuracy and self-control.
Listen for What’s at Stake. A way to hear the fear, status risk, or unmet need underneath someone’s reaction so you can address the real issue instead of fighting the surface behavior.
Premium Strategy, Regular Fuel. A system-level reminder that high expectations mean little without the time, staffing, clarity, and support required to sustain them.
Sass and Blankenship’s edge is integration. Most books live in one lane: inner work, communication, or culture. Friction brings all three together and gives readers practical experiments to test in real life.
For readers of Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Friction offers a fresh leadership framework for an era defined by overload, ambiguity, and rapid transformation. As more work is automated, the leaders who stand out will know how to read friction, work with it, and turn it into better decisions, stronger relationships, and healthier performance.
The goal is not to lead without friction. The goal is to lead through it, better.
