Skills for Scholars

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.

A Guide to Preparing for Life After Academia

On Retiring

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

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.

Anyone can be a contrarian. Effective leaders are smart about when--and how--they go against conventional wisdom to succeed.Contrarians are, by and large, ineffective. Their countervailing ideas don't gain support. Their pleas for understanding are dismissed. Their efforts to change minds backfire. But it's not because they're always wrong. It's because they're not smart about going against the grain. People tend to think of contrarianism as some innate trait that you either have or you don't. It's not. It's a way of thinking and a set of skills that can be learned and practiced.This provocative and deeply researched book teaches those skills. Strategy scholars Chengwei Liu and Balázs Kovács reveal how exceptional performance is far less predictable--and far less meritocratic--than most people believe. Drawing on insights from behavioral science, business strategy, finance, sports, entertainment, and entrepreneurship, they show how luck, social dynamics, institutional conformity, and hidden biases shape who succeeds, who fails, and which ideas rise to the top.The authors uncover why consensus thinking so often leads organizations and leaders astray through fascinating stories ranging from PSY's "Gangnam Style" to the rise of Capital One to venture capital bets, celebrity CEOs, financial collapses, and viral cultural phenomena. They introduce a powerful framework for spotting overlooked opportunities, avoiding costly decision traps, and building organizations that learn faster than their competitors do.Leaders and professionals who thrive are not reckless rebels or irrational gamblers but disciplined, smart contrarians who know how to separate signal from hype, skill from luck, and genuine innovation from fashionable noise.Fresh and highly original--and a joy to read--Smart Contrarians is the guide for executives, leaders, entrepreneurs, and all ambitious professionals who want to zig when everyone else zags.

How to Think Differently about Thinking Differently

Smart Contrarians

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management: Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management: Lies provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

Passionately Transforming Management: Lies
