What employers must know about FMLA leave for both on-site and remote workers The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) helps workers balance the demands of work, family, and personal care. But for employers, knowing how to apply this law fairly and legally can be difficult--especially when it comes to determining workers' eligibility for different types of leave, tracking intermittent leave, and completing the proper paperwork. What's more, related and sometimes overlapping workers' compensation statutes and state leave laws create complexity, such that any misstep can result in frustration for both managers and employees. This book provides answers--in plain English--to every employer's questions about the FMLA. It offers detailed information, sample forms, checklists, and other tools to help company managers and human resources personnel figure out: <ul> <li>who is eligible for leave</li> <li>what types of leave are covered</li> <li>how much leave individual employees may take, and</li> <li>how to comply with notice and other paperwork requirements.</li> </ul> This indispensable guide, from experienced employment law attorneys, has already helped thousands of companies learn how to respect employees' rights while simultaneously protecting their business interests. The 8th edition includes changes to state family and medical leave laws and discussion of how they intersect with the FMLA.

The leaders who thrive over the next decade will not be the ones who compete with AI on its own terms. They will be the ones who invest deeply in the qualities that make them irreplaceable. This is The Human Brand.We are at an inflection point in the history of leadership. The qualities that used to be the bedrock of great leaders--analytical skills, deliverable speed, clear communication--can now be easily matched or outperformed by AI. So if these don't make a leader great, what does?The Human Brand argues it's the fundamentally human qualities of leadership that will make them thrive--the ability to exercise genuine judgment, build real trust, or be authentically present with another human being. Those qualities are not footnotes to leadership. They are what leadership is. That is your human brand and this book provides a clear, grounded, and practical path to building one.<ul><li>In Part 1, you'll tackle the anxiety surrounding AI head-on to better understand your value in the company when AI can do what you used to do. You'll learn what tasks can easily be tackled by AI without value loss and which you should focus on.</li><li>In Part 2, you'll learn the how to develop the four core qualities of the human brand--judgment, empathy, courage, and presence--and what makes them so important.</li><li>In Part 3, you'll translate those qualities into action, learning how to hone the art of storytelling and use your brand to build a company culture that can stand the test of time.</li><li>Finally, in Part 4, you'll learn a framework for self-development and how to leave a legacy built on your humanity.</li></ul>The Human Brand is a book for leaders who want to navigate the AI era not with anxiety, but with clarity, purpose, and a deep confidence in what makes them irreplaceable.

How Leaders Stay Relevant and Competitive in the Age of AI

The Human Brand

Healthcare strategy tends to be a "black box" affair, shrouded in mystery by consulting firms or in foggy recollection from a long-ago college text. Dawn Carter believes it doesn't have to be that way. Based on more than 30 years' experience as a healthcare strategist, she has written a straightforward, consistently practical handbook for practitioners of every kind: seasoned executives, emerging leaders, board members, and students alike.That book is Strategic Planning for Healthcare: How to Implement a LIVING Strategy. Rather than abstract theory or academic jargon, it is a step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to understand how a winning strategy evolves and how it creates positive change. Filled with anecdotes from real-world engagements, the book also introduces Great Health System, a hypothetical organization whose strategy takes shape across every chapter, tying the entire process together.The LIVING framework - built around six essential elements of strategy formation and execution - gives practitioners at every level a shared language and a clear path forward. At the same time, the book is focused on why-to as much as how-to. Carter's conviction is that strategy isn't a chore or a compliance exercise. Done right, it is the beating heart that keeps healthcare organizations moving forward in an increasingly difficult environment.With fresh analogies in every chapter drawn from art, history, engineering, and beyond, LIVING Strategy makes the unfamiliar immediately recognizable and keeps the pages turning.For readers who enjoyed If Disney Ran Your Hospital or Hardwiring Excellence, this is the book on healthcare strategy that you've been waiting for.

TURBOCHARGE YOUR T.E.A.M.: BRIDGING GENERATIONAL GAPS

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Longevity Leadership: Building Sustainable Performance Through Science-Backed Strategies

Sports Economics, Management and Policy

Soccer has become "big business." The aggregated market value of the first and second division teams from the "Big 5" European Leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) is nearly EUR12 billion. Using systematic and anecdotal evidence from the "Big 5" and additional evidence from other European and some of the South American Leagues (Brazil and Argentina), this book explores the development of soccer as the world's most important team sport and addresses competitive balance across the a large number of leagues. The book also provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the market for players, coaches and referees as well as the demand for soccer, both on TV, at the gate, and in the betting office. Finally, the economic implications of pertinent recent problems, such as hooliganism and racism, are addressed.

Most of the discussion about player salaries, head coach dismissals, stadium subsidies, ticket prices and TV contracts is not very well informed and is based on prejudices. Assembling and interpreting the relevant and available information from an economic viewpoint provides the reader with a fresh new perspective on those subjects. Econometric evidence is presented in the form of graphs and figures instead of regression coefficients and is supplemented by anecdotal evidence. "Economic jargon" will be limited to a minimum in order to give readers a more intuitive understanding of the material.

Conquering the Pitch

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

In a world fractured by constant volatility, traditional leadership frameworks are being challenged by forces that evolve faster than institutions can interpret them. This book challenges the comforting illusion of the "Black Swan" -- that major disruptions are rare, unpredictable events best understood only after they occur. Instead, the author introduces the perma-disruption ecosystem: an environment where geopolitical, technological and regulatory forces continuously collide and compound. The true threat to modern institutions is not the rare, unforeseeable shock; it is the "Black Dragon" -- a massive systemic force that is visible long before its full consequences unfold, yet repeatedly ignored because no single signal feels urgent enough to demand action until the power to choose has already begun to disappear.Written for forward-thinking executives, board members and senior leaders, The Black Dragon delivers a rigorous architecture for institutional foresight, proactive governance and strategic transformation. At its core is Black Dragon Logic: the discipline of reading the terrain of perma-disruption. Moving beyond passive delegation and superficial agility, the book outlines a demanding new leadership contract rooted in collective intelligence and anticipatory accountability. It explains how to cut through paralyzing data noise, interpret converging power dynamics and deploy capital with confidence before disruption becomes obvious to everyone else.,
