A Strategic Approach to Delivering Exceptional Performance in the Boardroom and Beyond

Purpose Beyond Profit

In this provocative and interdisciplinary study, David M. Kopp dismantles the widely held belief that authenticity is a stable, ethical ideal in organizational life. Drawing on leadership theory, organizational behavior, sociology, and ethics, this work argues that what organizations celebrate as “authenticity” is often nothing more than strategic image management.
Introducing the concept of authenticity leaks, Kopp explores how curated professional personas collapse when private selves surface—revealing the fragility of trust built on selective visibility. Through archival case studies of public figures and a critique of popular leadership frameworks, the book exposes the contradictions between transparency rhetoric and the institutional pressures that demand concealment.
This work reframes authenticity not as inner coherence but as a socially conferred label, sustained through performance, audience recognition, and organizational validation. It challenges readers to reconsider the ethics of leadership, the role of compartmentalization, and the limits of disclosure in professional settings.
Essential reading for scholars and students in leadership studies, organizational ethics, HRM, and sociology, as well as reflective practitioners in leadership and human resources, this book offers a bold new vocabulary for understanding how trust, credibility, and moral legitimacy are constructed, and how they unravel.

Image Management and the Performance of Self

The Myth of Authenticity in Organizational Life

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Fascinating stories. . . . Boxing ourselves in may be the ultimate way to think outside the box." —Wall Street Journal “I thought David Epstein’s first two books were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best. I’ll never think about my own work the same way again.” —Malcolm Gladwell It's never been easier to do too much. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range, why limits are the key to stimulating creativity, innovation, collaboration, and personal contentment. We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction. David Epstein argues that all of us—individuals, businesses, institutions, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation. Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself.

How Constraints Make Us Better

Inside the Box

Warum bleiben Entscheidungen aus, obwohl Zuständigkeiten klar geregelt sind, Gremien tagen und Verantwortung delegiert wird? Dieses Buch sucht die Antwort nicht bei den Personen, sondern in der Architektur der Organisation selbst. Es zeigt, unter welchen strukturellen Bedingungen Entscheidungen entstehen, Verbindlichkeit gewinnen – oder trotz intensiver Abstimmung, umfassender Dokumentation und formaler Beschlussfassung folgenlos bleiben. Aus jahrelanger Beobachtung unterschiedlichster Organisationen entwickelt der Autor die These: Entscheidungsfähigkeit hängt nicht von Haltung oder Kompetenz der handelnden Personen ab, sondern von der Entscheidungsarchitektur der Organisationen. Ist diese dysfunktional, entsteht ein stabiler, sich selbst reproduzierender Zustand: organisationale Unwirksamkeit. Das Buch beschreibt sieben Mechanismen, mit denen Organisationen den Moment der verbindlichen Entscheidung strukturell umgehen. Ein diagnostisches Referenzwerk für Vorstände, Führungskräfte, Aufsichtsräte und Organisationsberatende, das Entscheidungsarchitekturen in Unternehmen, öffentlichen Organisationen und Nonprofit-Institutionen präzise sichtbar macht – als Grundlage für wirksame Organisationsentwicklung.&nbsp; 
Die sieben Mechanismen der Unwirksamkeit
<ul>
<li>Die Verantwortungsdiffusion</li>
<li>Die Zeitkompensation</li>

Sales Performance Management

When the plan can’t keep up with changing conditions, strategic judgment must. Strategic leaders increasingly make consequential decisions in the gap between strategic intent and the plan of action. They need to stay oriented toward what they are trying to create while continually deciding what to hold, what to adapt, and what to let go of to meet rapidly changing conditions. The challenge is that pressure can begin shaping those decisions before you realize it. Over time, hundreds of reasonable choices can add up to something no one intended. In this book, strategist and executive coach Karin Blair reveals a hidden lever behind strategic judgment: the inner capacity of the leader making those calls. Through a framework of interconnected agilities, you’ll learn to <ul><li>build emotional agility to recognize when self-protection and reactivity are shaping your judgment,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to widen the perspectives and possibilities you can consider before deciding, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to stay oriented and committed as conditions change and results remain uncertain.</li></ul> With practical insights and real-world examples, Blair helps you recognize when pressure is narrowing your judgment and build the agilities that strengthen your capacity over time, so you can draw on it when the stakes are high. You can’t change the terrain. But you can expand your inner capacity to navigate it.

Make better high-stakes decisions in uncertainty by developing the 3 agilities (emotional, cognitive, and navigational) needed to lead when no clear answers exist. Today's leaders face a difficult challenge: They must make high-stakes decisions before they have enough information to know whether those choices will succeed. Organizations operate in a BANI world, one that is brittle, anxious, nonlinear, and increasingly difficult to predict. Yet many leaders continue to make strategic decisions using mental models built for a more stable era. This book reveals why leaders often narrow their options under pressure, mistake activity for impact, and seek certainty when ambiguity demands something different. Executive coach Karin Blair shows that the quality of strategic decisions depends less on what leaders know and more on what they can hold without reacting, oversimplifying, or forcing premature resolution. Through a powerful framework built around 3 interconnected agilities, readers learn how to <ul><li>build emotional agility to stay grounded under pressure,</li><li>develop cognitive agility to hold competing perspectives and challenge assumptions, and</li><li>strengthen navigational agility to sustain commitment when results remain uncertain.</li></ul> Filled with practical leadership insights and real-world examples, this book helps leaders expand their decision field, choose coherence over relief, and create strategies that compound into meaningful long-term impact.

By the New York Times’s Global Economics Correspondent, an extraordinary journey to understand the worldwide supply chain—exposing both the fascinating pathways of manufacturing and transportation that bring products to your doorstep, and the ruthless business logic that has left local communities at the mercy of a complex and fragile network for their basic necessities."A tale that will change how you look at the world."&nbsp;—Mark LeibovichNamed a Best Book of the Year by Foreign Policy and The Aspen Institute * Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book AwardHow does the wealthiest country on earth run out of protective gear in the middle of a public health catastrophe? How do its parents find themselves unable to locate crucially needed infant formula? How do its largest companies spend billions of dollars making cars that no one can drive for a lack of chips?The last few years have radically highlighted the intricacy and fragility of the global supply chain. Enormous ships were stuck at sea, warehouses overflowed, and delivery trucks stalled. The result was a scarcity of everything from breakfast cereal to medical devices, from frivolous goods to lifesaving necessities. And while the scale of the pandemic shock was unprecedented, it underscored the troubling reality that this system built on Just in Time principles was fundamentally at risk of descending into chaos all along. And it still is. Sabotaged by financial interests, a loss of transparency in markets, and worsening working conditions for the people tasked with keeping the gears turning, our global supply chain has become perpetually on the brink of collapse.In How the World Ran Out of Everything, award-winning journalist Peter S.

A Critical Look at the Organisation and its Future

The New Organisational Behaviour, Volume II

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.
