Leading Institutions with Vision and Resolve

Are digital technologies really a silver bullet for development in the Global South?


Digital technologies are supposed to solve the challenges of climate change, projected population growth, land conflicts and food insecurity, especially in rural areas. Yet NGOs, government institutions, and private companies are increasingly adopting a trial-and-error approach as they recognize the limitations of transferring Western science and technologies to the global South.
 
This book presents the ambivalent practices and implications of digital pilot projects which aim to 'develop' both farming communities and locally adapted innovations in East Africa. Inspired by laboratory ethnographies in Science and Technology Studies, it explores the practices of testing and developing digital technologies in rural Tanzania. The multi-sited ethnography, which takes in agricultural fairs, conferences, documents, online courses, tech hubs, project offices, villages and fields, centres on three case studies, namely DAST (a digital land-formalisation tool), STAS (an AI system for agricultural productivity) and iPlus (an e-extension tool). Rather than viewing these technologies simply as welcome tools to promote connectivity, empowerment and increased production - as commonly advanced in development policy - this book foregrounds the (un)intended consequences of the planning, set-up, maintenance and results of digital pilot projects. Against the backdrop of conflicting logics between testing technologies and developing Tanzanian agriculture through them, this book considers their (un)predictable impacts on new actors, the character of development and the trial communities in rural Tanzania.

Don't just design training. Design behavior change that lasts.

Your training program got good evaluations, and learners left feeling satisfied. But within weeks you discover that none of their behavior changed, and managers are asking why. Your training seemed to work in the moment, but performance outcomes aren’t where you want them to be.

With a practical, ADDIE-inspired approach, Designing Training That Sticks tackles a persistent gap most facilitators and instructional designers face every day—the gap between training and real-world performance outcomes. Author Michael L. Dorsey guides instructional designers through his Afterburn Framework—aligning learning objectives, delivery methods, and reinforcement strategies to achieve real, measurable outcomes. Real-world case studies demonstrate how to make his innovative framework actionable.

Dorsey shows you how to:
<ul>
<li>Use reinforcement tools such as job aids, indexed videos, and microlearning.</li>
<li>Build accountability structures such as learning partners and manager check-ins.</li>
<li>Choose intentional environmental design that actively supports key behaviors.</li>
<li>Engage highly motivated supervisors who care about sustained behavior change.</li>
</ul>

Your organization isn’t necessarily failing at training. But it’s probably failing to design training with the future in mind. If you’re ready to do something about that, Designing Training That Sticks is the place to start.

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

Too many leaders are burning out--and taking their teams with them. Despite good intentions, many organizations still push harder, demand more, and equate long hours with high performance. The result? Talented people walk away from work they once loved, while leaders feel stuck between delivering results at any cost or failing altogether. Longevity Leadership challenges that paradigm. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral science, and years of experience in organizational change, Jessica Billiet offers a new model for leadership--one that recognizes performance and well-being are not in conflict but deeply connected. When leaders understand how the brain responds to stress, motivation, and habit, they can create environments where people are energized, innovative, and resilient--without sacrificing results. This book explores the small, often overlooked choices leaders make every day: how they respond to pressure, how they communicate during uncertainty, and how they shape team habits and rhythms. Readers will learn practical, science-backed strategies for reducing burnout, leading through resistance, and building sustainable performance across their teams and organizations. At its core, Longevity Leadership is a call for systemic change. It's about equipping leaders at every level with tools to achieve results without destroying the people who deliver them. Inspiring and deeply practical, this book shows that when leaders honor both performance and mental health, everyone wins.

Longevity Leadership: Building Sustainable Performance Through Science-Backed Strategies

Understanding the International Environment & Global Business Functions

Introduction to Global Business

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.

Solving the Human Problems Behind Business Performance

Ratchet-Up

In 2007, as the first iPhone launched, I was a young retail leader on the front lines of what would become one of the most transformative technological revolutions in history. Customers waited for hours to secure their new device only to return days later furious that networks had failed under unprecedented demand. Inside stores, no answers were quick or easy. There was pressure, confusion, and a leadership playbook that no longer seemed to work. It was an inflection point not just for technology, but for leadership. The Hope Advantage begins in this moment and expands to confront the reality every leader now faces. No longer is change episodic; it is constant, exponential, and it impacts every area of life. The conditions once described as volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous are no longer exceptions to the rule; they are the operating environment. But the change itself is not the problem. We've lost the belief in our ability to shape what comes next. When you believe a better future is possible, that you have the power to help create it, and that you don't need a perfect plan to start, this is hope--a practical leadership framework built on the three interconnected disciplines of Direction, Ownership, and Movement. Blending behavioral science, leadership philosophy, and lived executive experience, The Hope Advantage introduces a distinct and timely thesis that belief, not strategy, is the primary hurdle to change. It offers leaders not just a new way to think, but a practical framework immediately applicable to the transformations they're already implementing.

How Leaders Build Belief That Makes Change Possible

The Hope Advantage

Resonance is for anyone who understands that a narrow focus on the traditional leadership skills of analysis, strategy and execution is no longer sufficient, and wants to understand how to take their leadership to a whole new level.Our increasingly polarized world, where business, technology and the geopolitical landscape are moving at breathtaking speeds and burnout is at an all-time high, demands a new kind of leader, one who understands that strategic advantage depends on the one resource that hasn't kept up with the pace of change: the human nervous system.They want to learn how to steady their own system and that of others, for clearer thinking, bolder innovation and better decisions under pressure. Resonance helps leaders build neural intelligence by combining neuroscience, whole-body awareness and leadership development into clear, practical actions. It features examples drawn from high-stakes environments, a downloadable toolkit and guidance for coaches and leadership development professionals.Because people do their best work when they feel safe, seen and resourced.

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.
