The emphasis is on practical information that novices can understand and use in real business settings.
This book offers a simple framework for improving management practices, whether you are starting your first business or already running a small company. By learning to plan, stay organized, understand financial responsibilities, serve customers effectively, and adapt when obstacles arise, readers can better manage their company duties and build a stronger foundation for future opportunities.

Learn to Manage People, Money, Operations, and Daily Challenges

Small Business Management for Beginners Made Practical

Self-Care for Successful Remote Work

Zen Your Den

Your best people already see the problem. The question is whether your team is built to let them say so. This book is the architecture for a culture where they actually do.

Every organization that suffers a preventable failure has, somewhere inside it, someone who saw it coming and said nothing - not from a lack of courage, but because the system quietly taught them silence was the safer choice. The Truth-Telling Team treats honesty not as a personality trait to hope for, but as an engineering problem: a set of specific, buildable mechanisms in how you run meetings, design feedback loops, hire, train managers, and structure incentives, so that speaking up becomes the path of least resistance instead of the riskiest option in the room.

This is not another book about "psychological safety" as a vague feeling to cultivate. Every chapter breaks a lever leadership actually controls into concrete, observable practice - most of it buildable within a single quarter, none of it dependent on hoping people become braver on their own.

What's inside:

- Why smart teams stay silent, and why that silence is a system problem, not a character one
- Redesigning meetings so junior and dissenting voices surface real information instead of polite consensus
- Building feedback loops that visibly close, instead of disappearing into a survey nobody hears about again
- Hiring for genuine candor without accidentally hiring people who are just combative
- Why the manager layer, not the executive team, is where a truth-telling culture is actually won or lost
- Auditing incentives so honesty stops being quietly punished by what actually gets rewarded
- What to do when leadership itself is the obstacle - and how to build a channel that can surface it
- Keeping the culture honest through crisis, remote work, and the leader's own eventual departure

THE TRUTH-TELLING TEAM

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

A Short History

Energy

Stop drowning in status updates, meeting recaps, and endless admin work - and reclaim up to 10 hours a week for the leadership work only you can do.

If you manage people, you already know the quiet math running underneath every workday: the job you were hired to do, and the hundred small administrative tasks that quietly eat the hours around it. Status updates. Meeting recaps. Feedback drafts. The third rewrite of an email you could have sent an hour ago.

The AI Delegation Playbook is a practical, no-hype system for handing that administrative layer to AI - the way you'd delegate to a capable, trusted first hire - while keeping every judgment call, every relationship, and every decision firmly in your own hands. This isn't about replacing your management skills. It's about finally getting the hours back for the parts of the job that made you want to lead a team in the first place.

What's Inside:
- A one-week time audit that shows you exactly where your hours actually go
- A simple three-tool AI stack any manager can set up in thirty minutes
- The Draft-Review-Finalize loop that keeps every AI-assisted output accurate, on-brand, and genuinely yours
- Ready-to-use workflows for status updates, meeting recaps, 1:1 prep, feedback drafts, project plans, and reports
- A step-by-step 30-day rollout plan, plus answers to the objections your team (and your own hesitation) will raise
- Context-specific playbooks for engineering, sales, operations, remote, and small-team managers
- A quick-reference prompt library, a working glossary, and a full worked example you can copy directly

THE AI DELEGATION PLAYBOOK

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An indispensable guide to help women reclaim hours in their day by overcoming the Four 4P’s—People Pleasing, Procrastination, Perfectionism, and Padding—from the acclaimed author of The Myth of the Nice Girl. “A liberating reframing of time in a culture that equates busyness with worth.”—Jennifer B. Wallace, New York Times bestselling author of Mattering and Never Enough Women often carry a different kind of time load—one that adds up in ways that aren’t always visible but deeply felt. Often, these responsibilities cause us to fall prey to what Fran Hauser calls “The 4 P’s”—people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, and (time) padding. Whether it’s saying yes when you know you don’t have the bandwidth, rewriting an email for the tenth time, or sitting through meetings that go nowhere, these patterns chip away at our hours, leaving less time for what truly matters. But when we start paying attention to these habits, we begin to change our relationship with time. In Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour, Hauser shows professional women how to embrace a “twenty-minute mindset” to create more time and space for themselves and their most meaningful work. This mindset helps us break free from the 4 P’s, stop over-rotating and make progress in less time than we think we need. Drawing on Hauser’s decades of executive experience—and stories from successful women such as Sprinkles Founder Candace Nelson and Journalist Danielle Robay— Twenty Minutes is the New Hour is equal parts accessible and actionable. You’ll come away with important tools, including: <ul><li>The secret recipe for getting an effective meeting done in 20 minutes</li><li>A messy action mindset to help you start (and keep going)</li><li>Ways to streamline projects and negotiations that have become overly complex</li><li>Frameworks for nailing high-stakes conversations without overthinking</li><li>A simple weekly practice to create space on your calendar</li></ul> Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour is the antidote to our always-on, overworked world and a fresh take on productivity. The goal isn’t to do more. It’s to focus on what matters—and feel good about how you’re doing it.

The Ambitious Woman's Guide to Doing Less and Achieving More

Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour

Management for Professionals

This book is a practical guide for professionals and business leaders on applying Lean and Agile methodologies to supply chains. It offers a comprehensive view of the so-called Leagile framework, which integrates Lean and Agile paradigms, for efficiency, adaptability, and the integration of both for synergy. Real-world case studies showcase how such an integration can be applied in context. The book also explores metrics and KPIs, risks and contingencies, and future trends in Leagile supply chain management.&nbsp;

Efficiency Meets Flexibility

Leagile Supply Chains

Traditional problem-solving books fail the modern professional: they are theoretical rather than demonstrable, slow rather than efficient, and open-ended rather than validated. They stop after the problem is stated.

This guide takes you through the entire lifecycle of resolution. By pairing historical 8D (Eight Disciplines) and Fishbone (Ishikawa) rigor with modern AI analysis, you move past documentation and into permanent, data-backed solutions.

The methods presented here are designed to reduce the resolution risk for complex manufacturing and corporate-wide problems while increasing the depth of the analysis through validated AI workflows.

Part 1 walks you through retrospective historical real problems solved with industry-standard 8D logic. The fundamental discipline of problem-solving is established-using historical case studies to master the 8D and Fishbone (Ishikawa) methodologies.

Part 2 features a live case study where a 10,110-line sales analysis-which originally took an expert more than two weeks in Excel-is resolved by AI in just 2 minutes and 13 seconds.

AI is a powerful engine, but the 8D Process is the steering wheel. You learn this lesson for how to build a 'high-integrity' problem statement so that when you move to Part 2, the AI has a perfect roadmap to follow. AI is a powerful engine, but the 8D Process is the steering wheel.

Learn the specific, non-negotiable steps to verify and validate every solution, ensuring the problem is eradicated permanently rather than just documented.

From manufacturing floors to corporate-wide functions, these techniques are essential for any professional facing "unsolvable" data.

PROBLEM RESOLUTION

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the various frameworks associated with financial corporate washing. It examines the factors influencing these practices and explores their connection to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies, through the use of operations research methods. ESG investors thoroughly evaluate a company's environmental, social, and governance factors before investing, reflecting the growing global emphasis on sustainability. As climate change risks rise and sustainability becomes more important, many organizations have begun to adapt, though some resort to greenwashing, misleadingly presenting their practices as eco-friendly despite ongoing harmful activities. 


This book offers a thorough examination of the strategies used by financial institutions, such as greenwashing, bluewashing, social washing, and pinkwashing. It aims to address corporate washing by highlighting its various forms within the financial sector, providing policymakers and stakeholders with insights to develop effective strategies and practices to counteract these deceptive practices.

Transparency and Corporate Washing in the Age of Sustainability

Modern Studies in European Law

This timely edited collection offers a critical and multidisciplinary examination of the European Union's Migration and Asylum Pact, marking the third major reform phase of the Common European Asylum System. As the EU seeks to present a unified and effective response to migration challenges, the Pact introduces sweeping changes-from border procedures and asylum processing to external partnerships and data-driven governance. Bringing together leading scholars, legal practitioners, and NGO experts, the collection explores the Pact's implications ahead of its implementation. Contributors interrogate its legal foundations, political motivations, and operational mechanisms, offering insights into how the EU balances efficiency with fundamental rights, solidarity with sovereignty, and innovation with accountability. Organised around four central themes - political solidarity, border management, external cooperation, and rights compliance - the volume highlights the tensions and contradictions within the Pact. It asks: Can the EU harmonise divergent national approaches to migration? Will faster procedures compromise legal safeguards? How will partnerships with third countries affect asylum seekers' rights? With chapters covering topics such as AI at the border, the coloniality of digital technologies, and the role of EU institutions in enforcement and oversight, this book is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, lawyers, and students. It offers not only a critique but also a roadmap for understanding the future of asylum governance in Europe.

The European Union's Pact on Migration and Asylum

You don't need a marketing team, a bookkeeper, and an assistant. You need one focused person and the right system.

What's inside:

- A four-part prompt formula that turns Copilot into your fastest, sharpest "employee"
- Your AI marketing department: content calendars, social copy, and repurposing one idea into ten formats
- Sales pages, email sequences, and proposals that actually convert - without sounding generic
- Bookkeeping prep and plain-language financial clarity, without hiring a bookkeeper
- Your AI admin assistant: inbox triage, scheduling support, and client communication templates
- Drafting contracts, policies, and documents (with clear guidance on when you still need a real attorney)
