What if companies do not fail because they ignore the future, but because they prepare for it? Business history is usually told through reassuring stories about complacency. Kodak failed to understand digital photography. Nokia missed the smartphone. Detroit underestimated electric vehicles. The lesson appears obvious: pay attention, embrace change and invest early. There is only one problem. The story is often wrong. The global automobile industry did not ignore the future. For more than a decade, its leaders talked incessantly about electrification, autonomous driving, connectivity, software and shared mobility. They invested enormous sums, acquired technology companies, hired software engineers, launched electric vehicles and reorganized themselves around the future they believed was coming. And yet many became weaker. Poisoned asks why? Drawing on more than two dozen interviews across the automotive world, Bryan Reimer and Magnus Lindkvist examine an industry in which almost every important prediction contained some truth, yet the resulting picture of the future proved profoundly misleading. Electric vehicles arrived, but as part of a much larger system involving batteries, charging infrastructure, industrial policy, software and China. Cars became connected, but this changed the economics and architecture of the industry in unexpected ways. Automation advanced, but not along the neat trajectory that had been forecast. Technologies expected to reinforce one another began competing for capital, talent and management attention. The problem was not stupidity, complacency or a failure to notice change. It was incompleteness. Human beings simplify the future in predictable ways. Organizations then magnify those distortions through their structures, incentives, histories and identities. Poisoned traces how this happens and introduces five organizational poisons -- Time, Status, Identity, True Lies and the Edges -- that can turn sensible preparation for the future into a source of strategic weakness. The automobile industry provides the book's central case study, but its predicament is increasingly universal. Technology, geopolitics, capital, consumer behaviour and business models are colliding across almost every established industry. The companies most at risk may therefore be neither the ignorant nor the complacent. They may be the ones confidently preparing for a future that is real, important -- and dangerously incomplete. Poisoned offers a different way to think about disruption. The challenge is not simply to identify the next big trend. It is to see how technologies, institutions, incentives and behaviours interact; to recognise what the dominant story leaves out; and to prevent yesterday's assumptions about tomorrow from becoming today's strategy.

Why preparing for the future can destroy your business

The Life-Changing Power of Making Do

The Jugaad Mindset

China is the world's biggest carbon emitter as well as the leading producer of green energy. What lies behind this fascinating contradiction? In recent years, China has built more renewable energy infrastructure than the rest of the world combined and is leading the global shift towards electrification. The Green Superpower: How China Shapes Our Future outlines China's role as a green leader in the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution and illustrates how European companies can become more competitive by learning from their Chinese counterparts. Experienced journalist and regional expert Christina Boutrup explores how China is leading the move away from fossil fuels, from how affordable Chinese solar panels are revolutionising the global energy landscape to the electrification of the world's largest car market and the revolutionary implications of autonomous AI technologies. Cautiously optimistic, the author covers key geopolitical trends affecting green economic progress across the world, and ultimately serves a wake-up call: to compete with China's success, Western business leaders need to learn from their Chinese counterparts and treat the green transition as a business case. The balance of global power is poised to shift. No longer copycat manufacturers of inferior products, Chinese firms are at the forefront of the world's potential first "electrostate". Now more than ever it is vital to acknowledge the central role that China plays in the transition to green energy and to learn from their strategies. The Green Superpower is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and practitioners who operate at the intersection of environmental policy, security, sustainability and innovation.

The Green Superpower

When I Grow Up

You know you have more to offer, but you're tired of waiting for a seat at the table to prove it. Most emerging leaders feel stuck in a holding pattern, believing that their ability to make an impact is capped by their current title or the person above them on the org chart. But influence isn't a reward for a promotion. It's a muscle you build in the mundane, everyday moments of your current role.In 90 Days to Grow Your Influence Clay Scroggins, bestselling author of How to Lead When You're Not in Charge, provides a daily roadmap for the "not-in-charge" leader. Drawing from his foundational work on leveraging influence without authority, this 90-day reader helps you navigate the tension of having great responsibility but very little power.Each day is designed to be a "snackable" but substantial 5-minute read, perfect for your morning coffee or the commute to the office. Through a mix of relatable stories, leadership metaphors, and spiritually grounded reflections, you'll learn how to: <ul><li>Understand Identity: Secure your worth in who you are, not just what you do or what your business card says.</li><li>Lead Yourself: Master the disciplines of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.</li><li>Choose Positivity: Cultivate a resilient, solution-oriented mindset that shifts the energy of every room you enter.</li><li>Think Critically: Stop being a passive observer and start solving problems.</li><li>Reject Passivity: Take ownership of the ground you're standing on today.</li><li>Challenge Well: Influence the leaders above you with relational equity and wisdom.</li></ul>Whether you are a new hire, a middle manager, or an aspiring executive, this book is your daily reminder that your seat on the org chart doesn't define your impact. You have everything you need to start leading right where you are. Real influence starts here.

Daily Habits for Leading from Any Level

90 Days to Grow Your Influence

An evolved form of leadership is deeply desired and needed in the world, and many people sense this possibility within themselves. They feel called to lead with greater presence, authenticity, and heart, and to create more relational organizations and systems. What this signals is a readiness for a profound inner shift that allows them to lead from an awakened dimension of themselves--yet they often do not know how to actualize that because they lack a clear developmental pathway. A Sovereign Being provides that path by establishing a paradigm of leadership not yet fully articulated in contemporary works, even by authors such as Otto Scharmer and Frederic Laloux, who point towards the organizational potentials of advanced states of personal consciousness but do not provide a clear developmental path for people to actually attain it. This book addresses that gap by asking what it truly takes to develop as leaders who embody higher states of consciousness and, by extension, build more enlightened organizations and systems. VanderPol defines this form of leadership as evolutionary leadership.

The Way of The Evolutionary Leader

A Sovereign Being

Stop circling the drain with traditional business books and prepare for a deep dive into the sub-aquatic depths of corporate absurdity. This book is the definitive manifesto for the 360-degree, marcomms visioneer who isn't afraid to "think" outside the vertical cycle. From dredging the ocean of emotion for granular data to navigating the perilous gap analysis of the brandscape (otherwise known as shopping for clothes), this book skewers the pretentious nonsense of management consultants and "media johnnies" alike. It is a relentless search for integrated, implementationable insight solutions that meet customer needs you haven't even bothered to identify yet.Beyond the biting wit and "Total Con" approach to communication, this book serves a serious purpose: it is a post-mortem for a marketing world that has been pronounced "dead" so many times its corpse is restless for change. By disposing of sacred cows and dismantling the clichés that have infected our boardrooms, it seeks to rescue the English language from the clutches of those who value "impactful consumer mindshare" over actual meaning.

Pushing the Envelope Outside the Box

Modern leaders face intense pressure to move fast and look decisive, often resorting to rapid restructuring and sudden pivots to signal strength. But this obsession with speed is a trap. It forces executives to rely on past assumptions rather than actual observation, turning experience into hasty judgment. When you act on incomplete fragments - like anecdotal evidence or surface-level dashboards -&nbsp; you inadvertently trigger a cycle of temporary fixes, organizational fatigue and strategic drift. This concise book introduces a critical discipline for the modern era: pausing to see an organization clearly before attempting to change it. Moving beyond abstract theory, Clarity Before Change provides executives with practical tools-like the "Organization Twin"-to map capabilities without bias and replace organizational blame with productive curiosity. Far from preaching hesitation, this research-backed guide delivers a blueprint for precise, intelligent transformation, showing that the ultimate competitive advantage is strategic composure under complexity.
