Billingsley R: Personal Financial
Planning

Personal Financial Planning

In a world that worships disruption, the most revolutionary thing you can do is hold steady. For more than a decade, Whitney Johnson preached the gospel of disruption. She co-founded the Disruptive Innovation Fund with Clayton Christensen. Disruption is in her company's name. But over time, a pattern emerged: The leaders and organizations coming to her didn't need more disruption. They needed stability, the very thing our culture has trained us to overlook. Drawing on original research with over 300 professionals across industries, Johnson reveals a striking finding: 96 percent of employees want more stability or a balanced approach to change, yet they experience disruption at nearly twice the rate their managers perceive. The result? Burnout, turnover, and organizations that exhaust themselves with motion that never becomes progress. Meanwhile, research shows companies with stable foundations deliver 80 percent higher shareholder returns over a decade than their peers. Johnson's Steady will show you how to build stability within organizations, how to identify and champion the people doing the invisible work of holding things together, and how to cultivate the inner steadiness that lets you be a grounding force for others. For leaders who have leaned into disruption and found themselves exhausted, for those who sense the relentless churn isn't working, Steady offers a framework for something different. And for those who have been doing the stabilizing work all along, this book is a declaration: Your work matters. It has always mattered.

Build a Future-Ready Organization Where Every Employee Can Succeed
Succession planning, while often talked about, remains one of the least successfully implemented leadership practices in an organization’s toolkit. Too often, organizations rely on outdated methods like “successor spotting,” grooming, secret conversations behind closed doors, or focusing only on a select group of “high potentials.” These approaches create bias, limit opportunity, and fail to prepare organizations for the realities of today’s fast-changing workforce. Succession Planning Reimagined introduces developmental succession planning, a modern, inclusive strategy that empowers every employee to grow and contribute to future success.
Through research-based insights and practical tools, you’ll learn how to transform succession planning from a static, murky process into a dynamic, people-centered strategy. You’ll discover the “secret sauce” for success: engaging employees, connecting development to organizational goals, and supporting growth at every stage. Each chapter provides clear steps for:
<ul>
<li>Assessing future needs</li>
<li>Building top-level and next-level plans</li>
<li>Creating measurable progress through continuous refinement</li>
</ul>
Whether you’re an HR leader, OD consultant, L&amp;D professional, or talent strategist, this book equips you to build authentic leadership pipelines that foster equity, readiness, and resilience. By embracing a proactive, developmental approach, you’ll prepare your organization for what’s next while creating a culture in which every employee feels valued and prepared for the future. If you’re ready to move beyond outdated models and design a succession strategy that works for today’s workforce, this guide will show you how to make it happen.

Building Future Readiness at All Levels

Succession Planning Reimagined

The Change Most Companies Get Wrong Most change efforts fail for the same reason. Leaders pour their energy into the process and overlook the people who have to carry it out. New software gets installed and new workflows get drawn up, and within weeks the team drifts back to the old way of doing things. Allan Breidenbach spent more than a decade building a better way. As president of a seventy-year-old, employee-owned manufacturer, he created the RATCHET-UP system, a nine-step method that puts people at the center of every change. In RATCHET-UP, you will learn how to: <ul> <li>Earn the standing and trust that make real change possible</li> <li>Get a team genuinely aligned instead of just nodding along</li> <li>Recognize where technology helps and where it only adds friction</li> <li>Spot and address the people quietly undermining progress</li> <li>Measure profit in more than dollars</li> </ul> Filled with real stories from the shop floor and free of consultant jargon, this book gives leaders in any industry a clear, practical way to make change that lasts.

Simple, Sound Measurement for Real-World Learning
Are you an L&amp;D practitioner who is avoiding measurement, analytics, and reporting because it all seems too complex, too time-consuming—or just plain intimidating? Most new L&amp;D practitioners know how valuable measurement is, but few know how to do it well or how to make sure the results matter to decision makers. In Measurement Simplified, David Vance and Peggy Parskey cut to the heart of the matter, sharing their expertise with beginners—and anyone who needs a no-nonsense refresher. They explain:
<ul>
<li>How measurement works</li>
<li>Why it’s worth the investment</li>
<li>How to do it efficiently and effectively</li>
</ul>
They walk through the most valuable measures at the course level and the department level, making sure to explain each concept in a way that is accessible and useful for novices. And they make the case for implementing smart measurement and reporting processes that will help your learning function run more like a business.
A fast and friendly on-ramp to the topic, Measurement Simplified still maintains the key insights of Vance and Parskey’s comprehensive classic, Measurement Demystified. This compact new guide offers all the knowledge and tools you need to make practical, evidence-based decisions, ensuring that you measure what matters and elevate the role of learning in your organization.

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.

Great leaders aren't shaped by a title. They're shaped by a moment. A moment that changes not just what they do, but how they lead. This is THE UNLOCK MOMENT. Drawing on his own leadership journey, executive coach and podcast host Dr. Gary Crotaz explores the inner shift that separates outward success from truly grounded leadership. Interweaving stories from CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, and the many thinkers he has coached, Gary offers a clear, human framework for recognizing the moments that make us who we are. At the heart of The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead are five essential Keys--Self, Trust, Presence, Growth, and Impact--that shape how real innovators think, decide, and lead when it matters most. By cutting through the ambiguity to make decisions with conviction, you will find your leadership aplomb and learn to lead in a way that is authentic, not performative. This is not a book about getting people to follow you. It's a book about becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow . . . and the moments that unlock how you lead.

The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead

What counts as 'good' work under contemporary Western capitalism? As the traditional promise of identity and status by middle-class occupations becomes increasingly difficult to sustain, many workers turn to manual work in search of meaning. The book argues that this represents a mechanism of middle-class reproduction, through which working-class practices and aesthetics are selectively appropriated and transformed by middle-class workers. To describe this transformation, it introduces the concept of gentrified labour, which captures how manual occupations are culturally 'resignified' and workers negotiate tensions between autonomy, recognition and economic insecurity in the pursuit of meaningful work.

In 1977, The Economist coined the term "Dutch disease" to describe the damage to the real economy when wealth derives from resource exports rather than productive work. On April 1, 1978, the Second Amendment to the IMF's Articles of Agreement came into force, ending gold's monetary role within the IMF system and consolidating the transition to pure fiat money. With "money" no longer backed by anything real, the alchemists' dream of a "Philosopher's Stone"--the ability to create seemingly limitless wealth out of nothing--appeared to have been realized. But while real wealth produced by human labor is finite, fiat money creation is not subject to the same physical constraint. The result was a new and far more powerful variant of Dutch disease: the Philosopher's Stone Disease. The Money Powers' financialization of economies and imposition of neoliberalism increasingly privileged finance over production. Over the next four decades, the consequences extended beyond economics, eroding the cultural and civilizational heritage and traditions of large swaths of the global population. The socioeconomic impact of this pure fiat-money regime, globally and within the United States, has been an across-the-board deterioration, while its benefits accrued overwhelmingly to less than 0.01 percent of the population. Yet creating money cannot create the real goods it commands. The system therefore depends upon a steady external supply of real goods and the recycling of part of the resulting surpluses into U.S. financial assets. Energy revenues from West Asia have been key to sustaining it. A resurgent Iran thus posed an existential threat to the UK-established and U.S.-dominated oil order. Sanctions, assassinations, proxy wars, color revolutions, terrorist attacks and mass psychological manipulation followed, but failed to achieve their objective. If Iran emerges victorious from the war launched against it in 2026 and breaks U.S. control over the oil-rich Levant, the petrodollar recycling system will suffer a massive blow, accelerating withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries. The dilemma is stark: financial dominance ultimately requires real power to enforce it, while the Philosopher's Stone Disease has hollowed out the productive and military foundations of that power. Why the West Can't Recover: The Philosopher's Stone Disease explains why there may be no way back.
