Moments of grace in leadership and life

What nobody tells you about power, money, and winning in business There is a moment most executives recognize but rarely talk about. You're sitting in a meeting where the language is polite, the slide deck is professional, and everyone in the room knows someone is about to get destroyed. The budget. The team. The product. The career. They call it a strategic review. What it actually is? A knife fight with better lighting. Business isn't fair. Meritocracy is largely a fiction. The people who talk like sages are usually improvising behind the scenes, and the gap between the official version of how companies work and what actually happens inside them is exactly where careers are built-or quietly ended. The Trick Is Not Minding That It Hurts is the book that lives in that gap. It is a blunt, unsentimental field guide to how the system actually works and how to survive it without losing your sanity. After two decades inside the world's most competitive environments-including senior leadership roles at Facebook, Alibaba, and Expedia, followed by years in the private equity trenches-Lee McCabe has seen how power is built, how decisions are really made, and why the "official story" is often the most dangerous one to believe. If you are ready to stop being naive and start navigating the real world of business, this is your guide.

What Nobody Tells You About Power, Money, and Winning in Business

The Trick Is Not Minding That It Hurts

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.

What employers must know about FMLA leave for both on-site and remote workers The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) helps workers balance the demands of work, family, and personal care. But for employers, knowing how to apply this law fairly and legally can be difficult--especially when it comes to determining workers' eligibility for different types of leave, tracking intermittent leave, and completing the proper paperwork. What's more, related and sometimes overlapping workers' compensation statutes and state leave laws create complexity, such that any misstep can result in frustration for both managers and employees. This book provides answers--in plain English--to every employer's questions about the FMLA. It offers detailed information, sample forms, checklists, and other tools to help company managers and human resources personnel figure out: <ul> <li>who is eligible for leave</li> <li>what types of leave are covered</li> <li>how much leave individual employees may take, and</li> <li>how to comply with notice and other paperwork requirements.</li> </ul> This indispensable guide, from experienced employment law attorneys, has already helped thousands of companies learn how to respect employees' rights while simultaneously protecting their business interests. The 8th edition includes changes to state family and medical leave laws and discussion of how they intersect with the FMLA.

The Essential Guide to Family & Medical Leave

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.

The Book of Leadership (Revised Edition)

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.
