Foley M: Leading Humanely

Leading Humanely

?At the core, Hit Refresh, is about us humans and the unique quality we call empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt the status quo like never before.? ? Satya Nadella from Hit Refresh?Satya has charted a course for making the most of the opportunities created by technology while also facing up to the hard questions.? ? Bill Gates from the Foreword of Hit Refresh The New York Times bestseller Hit Refresh is about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives?the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing. It's about how people, organizations, and societies can and must transform and ?hit refresh? in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal. Microsoft's CEO tells the inside story of the company's continuing transformation, tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant technological changes in the digital era. Satya Nadella explores a fascinating childhood before immigrating to the U.S. and how he learned to lead along the way. He then shares his meditations as a sitting CEO?one who is mostly unknown following the brainy Bill Gates and energetic Steve Ballmer. He tells the inside story of how a company rediscovered its soul?transforming everything from culture to their fiercely competitive landscape and industry partnerships. As much a humanist as engineer and executive, Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of technology and by exploring the potential impact to society and delivering call to action for world leaders. ?Ideas excite me,? Nadella explains. ?Empathy grounds and centers me.? Hit Refresh is a set of reflections, meditations, and recommendations presented as algorithms from a principled, deliberative leader searching for improvement?for himself, for a storied company, and for society.

Discovering the Better Angels of Our Nature

Frontiers in Spiritual Leadership

The Uccello Leadership Code presents a constitutional framework for leadership built on structure, continuity, and institutional responsibility. Organized through doctrines, articles, and applied principles, the work examines leadership not as performance, but as a disciplined architecture of judgment, restraint, stewardship, and long-range responsibility.

Across four major parts-Authority, Discipline, Continuity, and Stewardship-the book develops a formal body of thought on how authority is formed, how integrity behaves under pressure, how institutions endure across seasons, and how leadership extends beyond individual tenure into succession and legacy.

Rather than offering motivational formulas or managerial trends, this volume treats leadership as a durable civic and moral discipline: one that must remain coherent under strain, intelligible across generations, and accountable to structures larger than personality.

Designed for readers interested in leadership, institutional durability, governance, and the deeper architecture of responsibility, The Uccello Leadership Code establishes a formal doctrine for enduring authority in a time increasingly shaped by instability.

The volume speaks to readers of leadership theory, public responsibility, institutional ethics, governance, executive judgment, and long-term stewardship. It is written for those concerned with how authority survives pressure, how systems preserve coherence, and how leadership must remain structurally credible beyond immediate results.

A Constitutional Framework for Leadership, Institutions, and Stewardship

The Uccello Leadership Code

&lt;b&gt;A practical, real-world training manual for mid-level management&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Managing to Make a Difference &lt;/i&gt; presents a leadership guide for those in the middle. The C-suite has a wealth of resources for leadership guidance, but middle managers face a quandary: often given little guidance on how to excel, they are also under enormous pressure to do a variety of things &lt;i&gt;other&lt;/i&gt; than "lead." This book provides much-needed tools and techniques for building a high-performing team—without letting your other duties suffer. Organized around a coherent philosophy and based on solid research, the discussion offers a roadmap to engagement, talent development, and excellence in management. From difficult situations and organizational challenges to everyday motivation and inspiration, these techniques help middle managers achieve the goals of their organization while empowering their workers to achieve their own. &lt;p&gt;Talent development is probably not your full-time job—yet it drives the engagement that results in high performance. This book shows you how to hit the "sweet spot" of middle management, with a host of tools and strategies to help you help your team shine. &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Motivate, inspire, and lead your team with confidence&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Manage through challenges and overcome obstacles&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Develop key talent and maintain high engagement&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Adopt practical management tools based on substantiated research&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Most organizations direct the majority of their development resources to the C-suite, but still expect their mid-level managers to attract, engage, retain, and develop talent; but successfully juggling everyday duties while maintaining team performance and leading around roadblocks leaves little room for management planning. &lt;i&gt;Managing to Make a Difference&lt;/i&gt; offers the solution in the form of tools, techniques, and practical strategy for a high performing team.

NFL head coach Mike Smith lead one of the most remarkable turnarounds in NFL history. In the season prior to his arrival in 2008, the Atlanta Falcons had a 4-12 record and the franchise had never before achieved back-to-back winning seasons. Under Smith's leadership, the Falcons earned an 11-5 record in his first season and would go on to become perennial playoff and Super Bowl contenders earning Smith AP Coach of year in 2008 and voted Coach of Year by his peers in 2008, 2010 and 2012.

You Win in the Locker Room First draws on the extraordinary experiences of Coach Mike Smith and Jon Gordon--consultant to numerous college and professional teams--to explore the seven powerful principles that any business, school, organization, or sports team can adopt to revitalize their organization.

Step by step, the authors outline a strategy for building a thriving organization and provide a practical framework that give leaders the tools they need to create a great culture, lead with the right mindset, create strong relationships, improve teamwork, execute at a higher level, and avoid the pitfalls that sabotage far too many leaders and organizations.

In addition to sharing what went right with the Falcons, Smith also transparently shares what went wrong his last two seasons and provides invaluable lessons leaders can take away from his victories, success, failures and mistakes.

Whether it's an executive leadership team of a Fortune 500 company, a sports team, an emergency room team, military team, or a school team successful leaders coach their team and develop, mentor, encourage, and guide them. This not only improves the team, it improves the leaders and their relationships, connections, and organization.

You Win in the Locker Room First offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the most pressure packed leadership jobs on the planet and what leaders can learn from these experiences in order to build their own winning team.

The 7 C's to Build a Winning Team in Business, Sports, and Life

You Win in the Locker Room First

I offer a new relationship to your work, your team, your leadership, and maybe even to yourself. 
In this book, I present a structured method for having performance improvement conversations that honor our shared values, humanity, and desire to produce excellent results. What I offer here, I learned the hard way.The Problems
As leaders we face a variety of challenges every day: The pressure to meet the organization's goals.¿
The need to improve the performance of our all too human team.¿
The moral ambiguities of power and our own integrity.¿


As humans we and our team members face a separate set of challenges:We earn our pay by working in often disempowering organizations.¿
Our mental work disengages us from our bodies and deepest values.¿
We feel the disappointment of our unmet need to work in a collaborative learning culture.¿


How can we create a culture of performance improvement and leadership that addresses all of the opportunities inherent in these problems?Redefining Work
Could it be that the purpose of work extends beyond mere production of valuable goods and services in exchange for a paycheck? 
In his book, Small is Beautiful, E.F. Schumacher, a British economist who studied Gandhi's thinking, proposed that work has three purposes:Develop our capabilities so we can perform better and contribute more.¿
Transcend ourselves through collaboration with others.¿
Create goods and services relevant to our mission or plan.¿


We can learn to better engage, empower and improve the performance of all our team members. Our model also allows us to see when we can create an opening for someone to build their own leadership skills. This is the heart of success and satisfaction as a leader, seeing every moment as a chance to edify someone you care about.How to Benefit From This Book
This is a practical, comprehensive guide to performance improvement that provides tools for human development at work, in community and in families. 
The approach is simple:Collaboratively review performance.¿
Identify opportunities for improvement.¿
Design experiments to make improvements.¿
Evaluate progress and refine experiments.¿


Of course, the book offers much more than just a simple approach. We introduce a framework in chapter two so anyone can quickly evaluate performance issues and opportunities for improvement. In chapter three we explain how to effectively host a performance review meeting and in chapter four, we explain some of the concepts underlying these methods.
The balance of the book is a primer and reference for the many challenges and opportunities you will discover in working with the humane performance improvement practices you've learned. Chapters five and six examine the wide variety of challenges that we may bring to the performance improvement discussion. Chapters seven through eleven offer deeper understandings and tools to empower improvements in motivation, time and authority, clarity of expectations, and development of capabilities. Chapter twelve looks at the implications of the humane leadership approach for our lives and organizations.
A new framework is the easy part, how can we create real, lasting change in performance levels? 
As leaders, we can offer people the experience of choosing their own mental models, habits and experiments to optimize their results. This process lets us each become part of a self-teaching organism- a self-generated, self-refining intelligence.

Tools to Engage, Empower, and Improve Performance

Humane Leadership

Most leadership books teach you how to act.

Very few teach you how to orient.
 
This book is designed for new and recalibrating leaders who need orientation.

The Polaris Leadership Philosophy: Leading with Reverence and Temperance is not a manual, checklist, or collection of techniques meant to help you perform leadership. It is a reckoning with what leadership actually costs and what happens when that cost is ignored.

Grounded in lived experience rather than theory alone, this book confronts the quiet failures most leadership philosophies avoid: ethical erosion, misplaced confidence, rapid advancement without grounding, and the slow drift that occurs when motion is mistaken for direction. These failures rarely announce themselves. They accumulate. By the time consequences surface, trust has already begun to fracture.

At the center of the work is Polaris, a fixed point of orientation formed by Reverence and Temperance. From that center emerges a constellation of virtues that guide leaders not in ideal conditions, but when pressure, ambiguity, and consequence converge. This framework does not promise certainty. It offers something more durable: discernment.

Throughout the book, candid journal entries and reflections drawn from real leadership environments reveal patterns of success, failure, and misjudgment. These moments are not shared to impress, but to instruct. Even readers not seeking a leadership philosophy will find value here. The stories alone illuminate what not to do and why those mistakes are so easy to repeat.

This book addresses the gap most leadership literature leaves untouched: the internal work required before tools, techniques, or authority matter. It is written for those stepping into responsibility for the first time and for those returning to leadership after experience has stripped away illusion.

If you are looking for shortcuts, this book will frustrate you. If you are looking for orientation, especially when the map no longer works, this book was written for you.

&lt;p&gt;Think of the last time you were at your best and working in the zone. Now compare that to all the time you’ve spent just going through the motions. How would you quantify the difference between the two in terms of how you felt and what you produced? Would you rate it as a 5% difference. . . a 50% difference? Most people would describe the gulf between those two states of being as vast—as deep and wide as the Grand Canyon. For quality of experience, engagement, productivity, and just the sheer joy of living, the majority of people asked to rate the difference between flourishing and floundering found it to be around a factor of 10.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In their work with managers and executives at leading companies around the world, authors Tal Ben-Shahar and Angus Ridgway have identified a select group of individuals who consistently perform at their peak, and who make work seem effortless and working with them feel easy. The name they’ve given to those lucky few is “10X Leaders”. You know who they are. They’re the team leaders who bring out the best in everyone. They’re the senior managers who drive growth and innovation. They’re the dream bosses, dream partners, and dream colleagues. There’s a good chance you’ve encountered at least one 10X leader in your career—you’re probably thinking of one right now. And you wondered how they did it. &lt;p&gt;Dr. Ben-Shahar and Mr. Ridgway believe they know the answer. They have identified the core characteristics, behaviors, and cognitive styles that all 10X leaders share. Even better, they’ve developed a way for virtually anyone to cultivate those traits and ways of thinking in themselves to become happier, more effective, and more successful. &lt;p&gt;In this powerful new book they describe their revolutionary SHARP (Strength, Health, Absorption, Relationships, and Purpose) program for becoming a 10X leader. They tell you the true stories of people at organizations around the globe who’ve become more effective by learning to use these performance multipliers. And they offer proven strategies for mastering those characteristics and habits for lasting change—the kind of change that can bring you greater fulfilment and success, not just at work, but in every area of your life.

The Unlikely Leader

Nicholas Janni's first ground-breaking book Leader as Healer won the overall Business Book Award in 2023. In this transformational book, Janni presented a new and necessary paradigm of leadership. He argued that leaders of today must also be empathic and therefore embodied; grounded and therefore intuitive; present and therefore awake, to face the scope and threats of 21st-century challenges.Increasingly today we find ourselves surrounded by chaos, turbulence and existential threats. We are at a destiny-shaped moment for humanity that calls for a next level of consciousness, courage and compassion from business leaders, who have a chance to contribute to the common good. In this context, and building on the main themes of Janni's first book, he has come together with another pioneering leadership expert, Amy Elizabeth Fox to create Leading in Chaos, based on their mutual recognition of the unique demands the world faces today. Together, they encourage leaders to take one step further on the journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. Today's fast-changing, uncertain times call for leaders to develop new capacities of consciousness and to view leadership as a sacred vocation - to become a blessing in the world through presence, coherence and deep human connection.
