Hunt S: Resource-Advantage Theory

Resource-Advantage Theory

The Research Tradition Period

A sitting CEO's guide to making safety a strategic leadership advantage In A Walk on the Safe Side: Leading with Science in an Uncertain World, Jennifer F. Scanlon, President and CEO of UL Solutions, a leading global safety science organization, states that "innovation without safety is failure." That's what makes safety a critical leadership responsibility-protecting a company's brands, reputation and financial strength. Scanlon shows how leaders can evaluate and address risks amid increasing complexity and fast-paced developments, across AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, supply chains, industrial and consumer products and more. A Walk on the Safe Side offers an insider's perspective from the helm of UL Solutions, the iconic organization descended from Underwriters Laboratories whose century-long legacy of testing and certification has provided assurance and certification for billions of products in the marketplace. Scanlon addresses how potential risks grow more numerous as leaders drive continuous improvement at a scale and pace that determines competitive advantage, providing a framework for safety-first decision-making. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How to elevate safety from an operational concern to a C-suite strategic imperative that builds trust and competitive advantage</li> <li>Practical approaches for leading through uncertainty by grounding organizational decisions in safety science, transparency, and rigorous standards</li> <li>Strategies for managing emerging risks in AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, and environmental protection </li> <li>Personal and professional insights drawn from Scanlon's two-time tenure as a CEO, leading both USG Corporation's international expansion and UL Solutions' successful 2024 IPO on the NYSE</li> <li>A leadership philosophy that treats safety as the currency of assurance, reflecting the highest responsibility organizations owe their stakeholders</li> </ul> A Walk on the Safe Side is written for business leaders, executives, and professionals, providing a roadmap for navigating risk, building trust, and driving growth while maintaining the highest standards of responsibility and transparency.

Leading with Science in an Uncertain World

A Walk on the Safe Side

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

A practical framework for integrating human and artificial intelligence to drive enterprise growth In Live Agent: A Leader's Guide to Humanizing AI, Detria Williamson, former CMO of IDEO and Board Advisor for AI 2030, delivers a values-driven framework for embedding responsible AI across enterprise functions. Drawing on decades of digital transformation experience and work generating over $6 billion in brand equity for clients like Google and AT&amp;T, Williamson moves beyond automation hype to show leaders how AI implementations can amplify human judgment. Live Agent provides actionable guidance across four critical domains: Brand, Customer Experience, Research and Design, and Product Design. Through real-world case studies, the book demonstrates how to architect AI systems that enhance customer loyalty and brand differentiation while preserving trust. Williamson's ICX (Inclusive Customer Experience) approach ensures that AI integration strengthens inclusive design practices rather than undermining them, giving organizations a sustainable competitive advantage. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A structured methodology for balancing human intelligence and AI across brand strategy, product design, and customer experience functions</li> <li>Real-world case studies showing how leading organizations have implemented responsible AI to drive measurable enterprise growth</li> <li>The ICX (Inclusive Customer Experience) approach for designing AI systems that maintain trust and serve diverse customer populations</li> <li>Practical guidance on architecting AI solutions that amplify human judgment rather than replacing it, strengthening brand differentiation</li> <li>Frameworks for evaluating AI readiness and embedding responsible practices informed by insights from over 5,000 executive leaders</li> </ul> Live Agent is written for executives, CMOs, chief experience officers, and senior leaders responsible for AI strategy and digital transformation. Organizations seeking to integrate AI in ways that strengthen customer relationships and preserve brand trust will find Williamson's framework both actionable and grounded in proven enterprise results.

A Leader's Guide to Humanizing AI

Live Agent

A guide to organizational transformation targeting the country's trillion-dollar stagnancy problem-the "frozen middle" of corporate America-and offering strategies to overcome bureaucratic setbacks that hinder innovation, profit, and fulfillment Corporate America has a trillion-dollar problem: the frozen middle-paralysis in the critical layer of management caught between high-level leadership's vision and frontline employees' execution. This paralysis causes even the most promising initiatives to stall out. It traps passionate managers in inertia and stymies senior leadership. And every year it's costing companies billions. As experts in organizational transformation, Jimmy Leppert and Justin Wasserman have spent their careers figuring out how to thaw the frozen middle. Their consulting firm, Empactful Advisors, has led major organizations-including Chevron, Merck, and the Department of Defense-to generate more than $5 billion in cost savings and revenue growth. The key to their success comes from aligning senior leadership and middle management, using empathy and practical frameworks to illuminate the blocks that both sides face, and showing how they can shift from utter disconnect to collaborative goal setting that helps all parties-as well as the company-hit their targets. In Thaw, Leppert and Wasserman share their field-tested methods for turning strategic goals into tangible outcomes. Along the way, they offer a road map for employees at all levels to learn how to move through the bottlenecks that hold their organizations back and facilitate meaningful change. Middle managers will be empowered to unlock stalled careers, and senior leaders will learn how to galvanize their workforce and achieve bold, accelerated change. In the age of AI, a playbook for improving-and celebrating-human contribution is more essential than ever. Sharp, confident, and timely, Thaw is poised to be the definitive book on ending organizational paralysis and unlocking true potential.

Algorithmic Management: Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Organizations is the first comprehensive textbook designed to prepare management students to engage critically and responsibly with artificial intelligence in organizations. Bringing together classical management theory, contemporary AI applications, and systematic power analysis, the book equips future managers to both harness AI's potential and confront its risks.Structured in three parts, the book begins with foundational frameworks-socio-technical systems theory, technology and society perspectives, and core management theories reinterpreted for the AI era. It then examines applications across all major management functions-Marketing, HR, Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Strategy-using over 30 real-world case studies drawn from different industries, parts of the world, and types of organizations from multinational corporations to nonprofits and social ventures. The final section addresses organizational design, leadership, governance, and the future of algorithmic organizations. Throughout, pedagogical features-learning objectives, vignettes, discussion questions, toolkits, and ethical dilemmas-make the book classroom-ready and adaptable across MBA, undergraduate, and executive education settings. The text advances an approach of pragmatic criticality: AI is neither celebrated uncritically nor rejected outright but treated as a socio-technical phenomenon requiring managerial judgment, ethical reflection, and contextual awareness.By bridging management theory, functional practice, and critical perspectives, this book fills a critical market gap and is positioned to become the definitive teaching resource on AI and management for business education worldwide.

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.

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

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.
