Martyn B: Never Climb Alone

Never Climb Alone

How Entrepreneurs and Their Businesses Can Thrive with a Fractional CFO

A searing exposé of the new tools of corporate profiteering and a field guide to the deceptive tactics companies are using to cheat consumers out of their money—and how we can get ahead of them—from a leading voice in economic policy and executive director of a corporate watchdog think tank Everywhere you turn, Americans are getting ripped off: Landlords use software to band together and organize artificial rent hikes. Ride-sharing apps spike the price of trips when your phone is about to die. Online ticket sellers hide behind exorbitant processing fees. And car companies install software that reports your driving behavior to insurance companies so that they can raise your premiums. Price gouging is the latest frontier in corporate profiteering—and it’s gutting the American economy and your wallet. In Gouged, economist and veteran consumer advocate Lindsay Owens takes us inside the corporate boardrooms where pricing decisions are made, uncovering the tricks, traps, and outright fraud corporations use to jack up the price you pay at checkout. From data collection to drone surveillance, modern technology provides companies a staggering arsenal of sophisticated tools to squeeze as much money out of consumers as possible, bringing in record profits as a result. Drawing on original reporting, shareholder meeting transcripts, and rigorous economic analysis, Owens takes aim at big-tech behemoths, airlines, health insurance companies, and more to pull back the curtain on how price gougers are coming for almost every line item in your household budget, from doctors’ visits to rent, groceries, and even your summer vacation. Gouged arms us with the essential knowledge we need to first recognize, then sidestep the traps that corporations try to conceal from us. In a world where price gouging has become ubiquitous, Gouged is necessary reading for anyone looking to stay an informed consumer, save money rather than surrender it to greedy CEOs, and stand up for fair prices in America.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

Public sector leaders are facing challenges unlike anything seen before. Reforms collide with resource pressures, staffing shortages meet rising expectations, and crises spread across organisational boundaries. Traditional leadership tools promise clarity, but often fall short when the world refuses to stay simple.The Leadership Lab offers a new way forward. Instead of searching for quick fixes or rigid models, this book shows how leaders can work productively with complexity. Drawing on cutting edge research, real world cases, and the innovative concept of Learning and Leadership Laboratories, it provides practical guidance for leaders who want to create clarity without oversimplifying and make progress without forcing premature solutions.With its blend of theory and practice, The Leadership Lab supports leaders in remaining reflective under pressure, fostering cultures of inquiry and collaboration, and finding their way through uncertainty with confidence and care. Whether they work in a school, a department, or a municipality, readers will find a compelling approach to understanding today's organisational challenges and to leading in ways that are more sustainable, attentive, and humane.

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it's going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include: <ul><li>Do Not Listen to Anyone</li><li>When to Not Follow the Rules</li><li>Avoid Bosses</li><li>You Never Know When Opportunity Will Present Itself</li><li>If You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.</li><li>Ugly is Beautiful </li></ul>

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.

Having spent the majority of his professional career in senior management roles within large and complex organizations, Saleh Lootah has developed a deep understanding of the multifaceted challenges leaders face in creating sustained organizational value. Drawing on these experiences, and grounded in the theoretical foundations of Authentic Leadership, this book articulates a structured leadership methodology supported by a practical evaluative checklist aimed at fostering measurable impact and long-term value creation.
 
 The book adopts an evidence-informed and contextual approach by deriving key leadership insights from the lives and leadership practices of prominent figures in the United Arab Emirates. These include Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and the other founding fathers of the UAE, contemporary leaders across the Emirates, and influential business leaders. Through systematic reflection on these examples, the book illustrates how authentic leadership principles - such as self-awareness, ethical conduct, relational transparency, and balanced decision-making - have been effectively applied across historical and modern contexts.
 
 By integrating theory with practice, the book demonstrates the continued relevance of Authentic Leadership in addressing contemporary leadership challenges. It highlights how leaders can exercise authority while maintaining empathy, align values with organizational objectives, and cultivate trust and legitimacy among stakeholders.
 
 Overall, this work contributes to leadership thought by offering a contextually grounded framework that supports leaders and practitioners in navigating complexity, enhancing effectiveness, and building enduring institutional and societal legacies.

Authentic Leadership

The Purpose-Driven Leader: Navigating Ethical Challenges in a Goal-Obsessed World

In a world where targets rule and success is measured in metrics, what happens when good intentions lead to ethical disasters? Leaders chase promotions, quotas, and wins-only to wake up to scandals, burnt-out teams, and shattered trust. This is teleopathy: the dangerous obsession with goals that blinds us to what's right.

Retired Chief Master Sergeant Mike Lightner knows this trap intimately. With over 30 years in the Air Force leading high-stakes teams on flightlines and beyond, plus decades coaching executives, he's seen policies meant to motivate turn into chaos and incentives designed to inspire lead to corner-cutting. In The Purpose-Driven Leader, Lightner delivers a no-BS guide to spotting teleopathy's symptoms-fixation, rationalization, and detachment-and breaking free with purpose-driven integrity.

Drawing from real military turnarounds, corporate scandals like Enron and Volkswagen, and everyday ethical dilemmas, this book equips you with:
Battle-tested frameworks to balance goals with values and stakeholder needs.
Practical tools like decision checklists, ethics charters, and reflective exercises to make integrity your default.
Inspiring stories of leaders who chose ethics over easy wins-and came out stronger.





Whether you're a mid-level manager, veteran transitioning to business, small-business owner, or anyone tired of goal-obsession eroding your leadership, this book shows how to lead with a moral compass that delivers lasting results.

Don't let ambition destroy what matters. Grab The Purpose-Driven Leader and build a legacy of trust, not regret.

Wie Leadership in turbulenten Zeiten gelingen kann

Swinging with the Future

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.
