Tschirhart M: Managing Nonprofit

Managing Nonprofit Organizations

Billion-dollar bankruptcy stories distilled into actionable career principles Lessons from Failure draws on the career of James H.M Sprayregen, widely recognized as one of the world's leading bankruptcy dealmakers, to deliver principles that professionals in any role can apply to their own success. Sprayregen, who founded the best-in-class law firm restructuring group and was named one of "The Decade's Most Influential Lawyers," distills decades of high-stakes dealmaking and business building into highly useful career guidance. Through real-world narratives from landmark bankruptcies including the City of Detroit, United Airlines, and Toys"R"Us, Sprayregen packages hard-won insights into concrete principles, from "scarcity sells" to "your big moment will come before you're ready." He asks readers to compare their options not to nirvana but to what's actually possible, and to embrace chaos and ambiguity rather than fear them. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>Principles drawn from building the world's largest and most successful bankruptcy practice from scratch</li> <li>Insider accounts of some of the most notable and complex bankruptcies in American business history</li> <li>Guidance on turning setbacks into opportunities, with the confidence that failure can lead to something grander</li> <li>Thought-provoking insights, including the idea that some of your biggest deals might be the ones that never happen, when you've done the work to fix a situation in time to avoid disaster</li> <li>Wisdom previously shared only with associates and colleagues, now organized into a structured series of lessons</li> </ul> Lessons from Failure is written for lawyers, bankers, consultants, board members, c-suite executives, and other leaders looking to build successful careers within complex organizations. Whether early-career or more seasoned professionals, readers will find principles and inspiration informed by decades of navigating billion-dollar crises that can translate directly into their own professional growth.

The Living Business

A practical guide to becoming future-ready in the Age of Intelligence&nbsp; The future doesn't arrive all at once-it emerges in signals, patterns, shifts, and stories. Designing the Future is your field guide to making sense of that complexity.&nbsp;In their book&nbsp;SuperShifts, authors Steve Fisher and Ja-Nae Duane&nbsp;mapped the tectonic transformations reshaping society. And now, in their new work&nbsp;Designing the Future,&nbsp;they demonstrate how to take&nbsp;the next step: how to apply foresight methods to your life, your work, and your organization.&nbsp; Designing the Future&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;about trying to predict&nbsp;the specifics of&nbsp;tomorrow. That's impossible. It's about preparing for possibility today. It explores&nbsp;what it's like to practice futures thinking in real time, helping you discover what kind of futurist you are: a signal spotter, a systems mapper, a storyteller, or a strategist. Whether you're a leader, innovator, or curious learner, you'll build the confidence to see change early and respond with clarity.&nbsp; The book revisits the Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, tracing long arcs of civilizational change&nbsp;that include the Ages of Faith, Industry, Machines, Digital, and now the Age of Intelligence.

Leadership Blueprint for a Circular Economy

Disrupt the Linear

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.,
