How to Galvanise Your Workforce

Employee Engagement Strategies for L&D

What works-and what doesn't-when companies try to do goodCan companies really be "socially responsible"-and should they try? This debate is newly urgent as consumers, employees, and investors push companies to take a stand on everything from climate change to inequality. In this lively and clear-eyed book, economist Ray Fisman cuts through the rhetoric around "doing well by doing good" to show what actually changes corporate behavior and what doesn't-and what corporations should really do if they have society's interests at heart. He will answer questions many of us may be asking:¿ Will consumers pay more for eco-friendly products? ¿ Will employees work harder if they're paid a living wage? ¿ Do ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds make a difference? ¿ Should you pay more for fair-trade coffee at your local café? (Yes, you should.)Drawing on decades of evidence, Fisman examines which approaches to corporate responsibility make a genuine difference-and which are cheap talk, or worse. The result is a practical framework for understanding the tradeoffs between profit and purpose, recognizing which efforts to do good are likely to succeed, and how your choices can push companies to do better.

The Economics of Making Business Do the Greatest Good

The Model Company

A fresh and life-affirming vision of management as one of the most meaningful jobs you didn't know you had—revealing how growing your employees is the key to fueling the bottom line and fueling your soul—from an acclaimed author and beloved NYU Stern professor. What does it feel like to be a boss who meant something, grew someone, and did something bigger than themselves? Good bosses manage people, not just performance—and leave behind legacies while boosting their organization’s bottom line. NYU Stern School of Business professor Dr. Dolly Chugh calls this sacred work. In The Good Boss Project, Dolly uses leads from employees to track down managers known to be good bosses. By interviewing both the manager and the people who work for them, she unpacks how good bosses refuse to choose between high standards for performance and high standards for humanity. You will meet managers in small startups, big companies, the military, investment banking, and even a lice removal clinic…as well as a meditation guru, Broadway and Hollywood director, and March Madness championship basketball coach. Grounded in a sense of purpose, each offers a vulnerable peek into their inner lives as a manager, including what works on the good days (and what doesn’t on the bad days). Drawing on these stories plus the latest research from social psychology, organizational behavior, and behavioral economics, Chugh shows how to get more developmental value from delegation, spend less time solving your people’s problems and more time empowering them to solve their own, create a culture that serves as the emotional DNA for teams, and be the employer people say they will follow anywhere. Along the way, she equips you with the concrete skills you need (today) to be the good boss that (amazing) people want to work (hard) for and deliver (extraordinary) results for. Being a good boss is sacred work. The kind that leaves a legacy. Whether you’re a new manager, a not-so-new manager, or a seen-it-all manager, The Good Boss Project is your pep talk and toolkit for becoming the boss you mean to be.

Relationships in trade and investment between Europe, the United States, and sub-Saharan Africa have long been asymmetrical, marked by systemic overcharges, underpayments, and exploitative practices. This book highlights a concept called kleptomation: a systematic, sustained theft of labor, resources, and wealth. Chapters examine the depth, breadth, and persistence of this economic injustice, exploring the inauthentic accumulation of wealth on the part of the West over the course of several hundred years.In the book, economist Richard F.&nbsp;America&nbsp;proposes a unified framework for reparations to address centuries of wrongful enrichment, illicit transactions, and hidden subsidies that have fueled Western prosperity. This framework is clearly defined and grounded in redistributive economic justice. Acknowledging previous attempts to repair the damage caused by kleptomation, this book presents a 40-year plan that international development executives, policymakers, and program managers can use to scale up capital transfers for development programs in Africa.Drawing on historical analysis and contemporary policy debates, the book exposes flaws in international trade accounting that obscure the true scale of wealth extraction. It calls for sustained capital transfers and structural reforms to recover unjust enrichment and accelerate Africa’s development over the next four decades. The resulting resource provides practical guidance for policymakers, development practitioners, and global institutions—including the World Bank, the European Union, the African Union, and civil society—seeking to end chronic poverty and achieve broadly shared prosperity within 40 years.Richard F.&nbsp;America&nbsp;
 is Professor of Practice Emeritus in the&nbsp;McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. His research focuses on&nbsp;community reinvestment and investing in Africa. He is the author of numerous&nbsp;books and scholarly and professional articles. His seminal article, “What Do You
 
 People Want?” (Harvard Business Review, 1969), helped set the stage for the ongoing discussion of a form of reparations in the United States. His work in Africa has focused on improving management education, impact investing, and corporate philanthropy, strengthening African business schools, and expanding local and community-based economic development. He is the editor of 
 Accounting for Colonialism 
 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024).

Four-time World Series Champion and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulls back the curtain on one of the most quietly powerful leadership philosophies in professional sports: an unshakable belief in the power of optimism, accountability, and human connection. Baseball is a game of failure, where even the best players succeed three times out of ten. For Roberts, that statistic represents an opportunity. In Relentless Positivity, he reveals how leading through uncertainty, pressure, and loss has taught him the secret to long-term success: meeting people where they are, embracing the mess, and still having the courage to show a relentless, almost irrational positivity that helps your team step into its full potential. Drawing on stories from the clubhouse and the world stage—from his iconic stolen base with the 2004 Red Sox to a decade of managing the Dodgers to World Series glory—Roberts shows how leaders can transform setbacks into strength and criticism into motivation. Along the way, he shares nine cornerstone principles that have shaped his approach to leadership and life, including: <ul><li>Meet Once: Communicate clearly the first time to build trust and avoid confusion.</li><li>Put Down the Sword: Choose connection over conflict.</li><li>The Game Will Honor You: Focus on doing the little things right.</li><li>Find the Good: Lead with optimism, even when the scoreboard says otherwise.</li></ul> Blending stories from a championship locker room with the insights of a master motivator, Roberts delivers a field-tested guide for anyone leading through complexity, whether in the stadium, in the conference room, or at home. Written for a time when our models for leadership are rapidly evolving—in sports and beyond—Relentless Positivity is a timely manifesto for building strong teams, resilient cultures, and sustaining personal success in any field.

Relentless Positivity

An Evidence-Based Guide to Performance Leadership

Armstrong’s Handbook of Performance Management

The old playbook is dead. We have entered an era defined by non-linear dynamics, where AI startups outpace trillion-dollar giants and a single digital token reshapes financial reality overnight. In All Swans Are Black, economic historian Dror Poleg argues that unpredictable, high-impact events are no longer the exception, but the rule. Poleg explains how the shift from tangible factories to intangible assets like software and stories has fractured the relationship between effort and reward. To navigate this chaos, he provides a practical toolkit for a world where nobody knows anything: <ul><li>Leave slack: Maintain flexibility to survive downturns while staying ready for sudden upside.</li><li>Make asymmetrical bets: Lean toward actions where the cost of failure is low but the potential reward is uncapped.</li><li>Find patterns: Stop overanalysing why things happen and start identifying the recurring patterns that actually drive results.</li><li>Stay hungry: Assume that whatever helped you get ahead today will not be enough to keep you there tomorrow.</li></ul> Blending rigorous research with his experience as a combat veteran, executive and tech founder, Poleg shows you how to stop trying to predict the future, and instead learn to start flourishing within its uncertainty.
