The Truth About the Load Middle Managers Carry
Middle managers are the backbone of the organization, the drivers of culture, and the key to team performance. And yet, no one’s asking them how they’re doing.
The Leadership Load is written from the vantage point of managers themselves—in their language, for their survival. &nbsp;Author Karol Figueroa has infused the narrative with real stories from managers she has helped find their way back to clarity, agency, and themselves. She knows the terrain personally because she has lived the burnout herself and watched too many talented people disappear into their roles.
The Leadership Load is a mirror and a guide for the managers carrying it all—the ones who keep getting sent to another training or offered a mindfulness app when what they need is someone to say: “We see you. Here’s how to make it through without losing yourself.”
The book moves through three parts:
<ul>
<li>Seeing It. Understand the invisible emotional and structural burdens of the middle management role and why the impossible position you’re in isn’t a personal failure.</li>
<li>Surviving It. Make the mental shifts needed to stay grounded and clear-headed in a system not built for sustainability.</li>
<li>Shifting It. Use practical tools, honest reflection, and a road map to help you manage up, down, and across while maintaining your integrity and your energy.</li>
</ul>
No more suffering in silence. Come away ready to lead differently and become the manager you always imagined you could be.

Design, Develop, and Launch Outstanding Training Programs
&nbsp;
Designing training programs can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time. Training Design Essentials is your practical, step-by-step guide to creating effective instructional programs. It unpacks why design matters, introduces core concepts of adult learning and learning experience design, and explores the many forms training can take—from face-to-face and virtual classrooms to self-paced e-learning programs.
Internationally renowned workplace learning expert and educator Saul Carliner guides you through the entire training design process: planning, designing, developing, launching, and evaluating. Worksheets and exercises offer immediate application opportunities. Along the way, you’ll learn how to:
<ul>
<li>Analyze learner needs and define measurable objectives.</li>
<li>Select the right formats, media, and strategies to achieve results.</li>
<li>Craft content for engagement and effectiveness.</li>
<li>Manage projects within real-world constraints.</li>
<li>Administer programs after they go live to learners.</li>
</ul>
The book focuses on “unplugged” design, helping you master the essentials with minimal reliance on AI. It provides instructional designers with the foundation they need to collaborate effectively with AI and verify and refine the output from those collaborations.
Whether you’re a new L&amp;D professional, an instructor adding design to your role, or a subject matter expert tasked with training others, this book gives you the confidence and skills to create programs that deliver results.

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.

Turn enterprise AI into a source of strategic insight, not just productivity gains.The AI Gap by leading AI expert and keynote speaker Richard Foster-Fletcher shows business and technology leaders how to unlock greater value from enterprise AI by changing the structures, processes and culture surrounding it. Organizations invest in AI expecting new intelligence and transformative insights. Yet AI is often introduced through procurement, security, legal and compliance systems designed for standard software, restricting its potential before it can deliver on that promise. This book explains why this gap persists and what organizations must change to close it. You'll learn how to: - Identify organizational barriers limiting the value of AI - Move beyond productivity-focused AI implementation - Create conditions where AI can generate deeper insights - Enable employees to explore, experiment and challenge established thinking &gt;The AI Gap equips leaders to rethink AI implementation, create space for experimentation and turn artificial intelligence into a powerful driver of organizational insight and long-term business value. Themes include: enterprise AI, AI implementation, AI strategy, business transformation, organizational culture, AI innovation

How Business Decisions Expand What AI Can Do

The AI Gap

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

Effizienz und Effektivität in Organisationen

Every organisation runs on something that leaders sense but are never taught to shape: the collective energy of its people. This hidden factor separates teams which thrive from those that falter.In Energy at Work, Phil Lewis draws on thirty years spent helping some of the world's best organisations transform how their people perform. The productivity and innovation that leaders chase, he argues, rest on what most business books overlook: the quality of relationships between people. Where those relationships are healthy, energy flows and performance follows. Where they are damaged, no amount of vision, strategy or optimisation will repair what is, underneath, a human problem. The book maps the energetic states teams move through and names what really drains them. It takes on the misconceptions that hold organisations back - from the grindset to the myth of work/life balance - to reveal the demanding but powerful human work that leads to sustained high performance.Leaders at all levels and across every sector, HR and learning and development professionals, and students of organisational life will find in this book a rigorous but practical approach to leadership and culture change. Energy at Work challenges the easy answers of the business bookshelf - and offers a new account of what a workforce is, and what makes it come alive.
