The Colleagues Who Ruin Our Workday and How to Beat Them

Your Playbook for Designing a Winning Workplace Culture
Most organizations are losing the talent engagement game, and many don’t even know they’re playing it. Gallup’s 2026 State of the Global Workplace shows that only 1 in 5 employees are engaged at work. Game of Engagement offers a fresh solution to what leaders consistently identify as a critical challenge: how to create a workplace culture that sustains employee commitment, energy, motivation, and performance over the long term. Blair Bloomston’s unexpected solution is designing your workplace culture so that everyone wins.
Bloomston’s strategic LIFT Framework is a practical approach to developing a workplace culture in which employee engagement thrives. Inspired by principles of game design, the framework helps leaders intentionally shape four key elements that influence how people think, feel, connect, and contribute at work:
<ul>
<li>Language defines what your culture stands for and whether people believe it.</li>
<li>Influence shapes what work feels like, from outer incentives to inner motivation.</li>
<li>Fellowship determines whether people see each other as teammates or opponents.</li>
<li>Traction takes repeatable actions and transforms them from simple engagement into lasting results.</li>
</ul>
Bloomston draws on vivid, high-stakes stories from her work with world-class sports teams, government organizations, the military, and elite global corporations, demonstrating how the game of engagement plays out in every type of workplace to drive motivation, buy-in, and results.
Your workplace culture already operates like a game of engagement. Become the leader who designs a game people want to play to win.

How Leaders Can Create a Winning Culture at Work

Game of Engagement

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.

Legal Governance of Agentic AI and Autonomous Agents

Most veterinary professionals carry at least one case they will never forget. Not the textbook case - the one that returns in the small hours, long after the client has gone home.For decades, human healthcare has been having a serious conversation about systems thinking, human factors, psychological safety and just culture. Veterinary medicine has barely begun. The result is a profession that still meets error with blame, leaving good professionals to carry shame, guilt and loneliness alone.The Cases We Carry is not a quality-improvement manual. It is a book about the culture around error in veterinary medicine - how we speak about it, respond to it, learn from it, and live with it.This isn't a manual. It's a reckoning.For everyone who entered this work believing they had to be perfect - and for everyone still carrying a case.

Error, Culture, and Safety in Veterinary Medicine

The Cases We Carry

Blending accessible theory, narrative research, and experience inside a global tech company, this book explores how remote and hybrid work are reshaping professional identity, trust, and power inside organizations-and challenges the notion that hybrid work is the natural endpoint of remote evolution.While many employees have adapted to working anywhere, many organizations haven't caught up. As return-to-office mandates clash with new expectations of autonomy and flexibility, a deeper tension is playing out: not just where work happens, but how it's understood, measured, and controlled. Beyond the Office is a pracademic guide for leaders navigating this shift. It offers practical, research-informed strategies for embedding flexible work systems, without losing the human or organizational core, and uses real-life stories, interviews, and case studies from across industries to bring theory to life and make abstract concepts actionable.Tailored to resonate with early-career professionals, middle managers, and senior leaders alike, this book earns its place on any business bookshelf with grounded insights on how leaders can foster culture, performance, and wellbeing when traditional management structures are no longer fit for purpose.

The bestselling author of For the Culture reveals how organizational culture really works-and how you can harness its power to lead your team to success. "Good Soil is the most important book on corporate culture in the past decade." -Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There Do you wonder why your organization can't seem to realize its full potential? Why impressive new hires fail to thrive? Or why your thoughtful corporate mission statement has zero impact on your bottom line? To solve these mysteries and more, you first need to understand your organization's culture. More than personnel, resources, or strategy, it's culture that determines whether an organization succeeds or fails. But most leaders have a superficial or incomplete understanding of what organizational culture actually is and how it works-and few know how to activate it to supercharge their teams. In this groundbreaking book, bestselling scholar Marcus Collins reveals how to decode and optimize organizational culture. Organizational culture, he argues, is the backstage of a company that allows its front-stage to flourish. Drawing on his academic expertise and decades of corporate experience, Collins shows leaders how to fine-tune their organization's culture to help their teams grow and their employees flourish. Filled with advice on everything from making the right hires to navigating organizational transformation, Good Soil is the essential guide to fostering a thriving culture-and leading a winning organization.
