Huston S: Service is the Antidote

Service is the Antidote

A practical guide to becoming future-ready in the Age of Intelligence&nbsp; The future doesn't arrive all at once-it emerges in signals, patterns, shifts, and stories. Designing the Future is your field guide to making sense of that complexity.&nbsp;In their book&nbsp;SuperShifts, authors Steve Fisher and Ja-Nae Duane&nbsp;mapped the tectonic transformations reshaping society. And now, in their new work&nbsp;Designing the Future,&nbsp;they demonstrate how to take&nbsp;the next step: how to apply foresight methods to your life, your work, and your organization.&nbsp; Designing the Future&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;about trying to predict&nbsp;the specifics of&nbsp;tomorrow. That's impossible. It's about preparing for possibility today. It explores&nbsp;what it's like to practice futures thinking in real time, helping you discover what kind of futurist you are: a signal spotter, a systems mapper, a storyteller, or a strategist. Whether you're a leader, innovator, or curious learner, you'll build the confidence to see change early and respond with clarity.&nbsp; The book revisits the Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, tracing long arcs of civilizational change&nbsp;that include the Ages of Faith, Industry, Machines, Digital, and now the Age of Intelligence. It shows you how to understand the past so you can navigate the&nbsp;future, revealing how today's disruptions connect to centuries-long patterns of transformation.&nbsp; Fisher and Duane dive deep into the Nine SuperShifts:&nbsp;Generational Drift, IntelliFusion, Techceleration, Reality Remix, PowerFlow, EcoAwakening, SocialQuake, World Mosaic, and BioNexus.&nbsp;This time, however, you'll connect them directly to your own domains: your career, your community, your products, and your organizational strategy.&nbsp;They walk you through&nbsp;you how to translate global transformation into personal and professional action.&nbsp; Inside the book:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Understanding Change:&nbsp;Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, revealing the long arcs of transformation that shape the present and signal the future&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Nine SuperShifts:&nbsp;A deeper exploration of the forces reshaping society, with direct connections to your strategy, work and life&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Spectrum Foresight Framework(TM):&nbsp;A&nbsp;method built for plural futures, as opposed to linear forecasting,&nbsp;able to embrace multiple possibilities and perspectives across ten recursive stages: Scope, Sensing, Shifts, Scenes, Scenarios, Stories, Solutions, Strategy, Scale, and Sustain&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Signals Scanning &amp; Pattern Recognition:&nbsp;Practical methods for detecting weak signals, mapping tensions, and uncovering hidden opportunities&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>World-Building &amp; World-Shaping:&nbsp;Tools to design immersive future scenes, scenarios, and stories that make complexity tangible&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>From Imagination to Action:&nbsp;How to transform foresight into products, solutions, and strategies you can implement now&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Building Foresight Organizations:&nbsp;Frameworks for embedding futures thinking into culture, systems, and decision-making&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Futures Operating System (FOS)(TM):&nbsp;A blueprint for integrating foresight into the rhythms, roles, and tools of your organization&nbsp;</li> </ul> The pace of change is accelerating. AI, climate disruption, demographic shifts, and institutional breakdowns are reshaping the way we live and work.&nbsp;Designing the Future&nbsp;equips you with the tools to not just react&nbsp;-&nbsp;but to lead with foresight. It's a bridge between imagination and execution, helping you move from possibility to practice.

Soccer has become "big business." The aggregated market value of the first and second division teams from the "Big 5" European Leagues (England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) is nearly EUR12 billion. Using systematic and anecdotal evidence from the "Big 5" and additional evidence from other European and some of the South American Leagues (Brazil and Argentina), this book explores the development of soccer as the world's most important team sport and addresses competitive balance across the a large number of leagues. The book also provides the reader with a thorough understanding of the market for players, coaches and referees as well as the demand for soccer, both on TV, at the gate, and in the betting office. Finally, the economic implications of pertinent recent problems, such as hooliganism and racism, are addressed.

Most of the discussion about player salaries, head coach dismissals, stadium subsidies, ticket prices and TV contracts is not very well informed and is based on prejudices. Assembling and interpreting the relevant and available information from an economic viewpoint provides the reader with a fresh new perspective on those subjects. Econometric evidence is presented in the form of graphs and figures instead of regression coefficients and is supplemented by anecdotal evidence. "Economic jargon" will be limited to a minimum in order to give readers a more intuitive understanding of the material.

Conquering the Pitch

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.

Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had

Sleep isn't passive rest, but a critical driver of performance.In high-pressure environments, sleep is often the first thing to go. Long hours are treated as commitment. Pushing through is expected. But the cost builds, often in ways we don't immediately see, leading to distraction, poor decisions, emotional reactivity and missed signals.In this groundbreaking guide, sleep neuroscientist and executive advisor Els van der Helm, PhD, shows that sleep is not just a habit to optimise. It's a system to understand.Blending cutting-edge research with real-world stories and interviews - from global executives to frontline professionals - Dr van der Helm reframes sleep as a hidden driver of performance, resilience and leadership. Her practical, science-backed six-principle framework reveals how we can: <ul><li>Identify our chronotype and align our schedule with peak performance windows</li><li>Use chronotherapy to align work, energy, and recovery across the day</li><li>Understand how REM sleep supports emotional control, creativity, and decision-making - and how to protect it</li><li>Use strategic napping to recover faster and sustain high performance</li><li>Navigate periods of poor sleep, reducing the impact of bad nights and building long-term resilience</li><li>Become a 'sleep leader,' rethinking how work and life are structured to make sustained performance possible, at work and at home</li></ul> Perfect for leaders, ambitious professionals and anyone operating in high-demand environments, Sleep Intelligence offers a new way of thinking about sleep - and how we work, recover and live as a result.

A guide to organizational transformation targeting the country's trillion-dollar stagnancy problem-the "frozen middle" of corporate America-and offering strategies to overcome bureaucratic setbacks that hinder innovation, profit, and fulfillment Corporate America has a trillion-dollar problem: the frozen middle-paralysis in the critical layer of management caught between high-level leadership's vision and frontline employees' execution. This paralysis causes even the most promising initiatives to stall out. It traps passionate managers in inertia and stymies senior leadership. And every year it's costing companies billions. As experts in organizational transformation, Jimmy Leppert and Justin Wasserman have spent their careers figuring out how to thaw the frozen middle. Their consulting firm, Empactful Advisors, has led major organizations-including Chevron, Merck, and the Department of Defense-to generate more than $5 billion in cost savings and revenue growth. The key to their success comes from aligning senior leadership and middle management, using empathy and practical frameworks to illuminate the blocks that both sides face, and showing how they can shift from utter disconnect to collaborative goal setting that helps all parties-as well as the company-hit their targets. In Thaw, Leppert and Wasserman share their field-tested methods for turning strategic goals into tangible outcomes. Along the way, they offer a road map for employees at all levels to learn how to move through the bottlenecks that hold their organizations back and facilitate meaningful change. Middle managers will be empowered to unlock stalled careers, and senior leaders will learn how to galvanize their workforce and achieve bold, accelerated change. In the age of AI, a playbook for improving-and celebrating-human contribution is more essential than ever. Sharp, confident, and timely, Thaw is poised to be the definitive book on ending organizational paralysis and unlocking true potential.

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.

Every year, American organizations spend $365 billion on workplace conflict. Most of it is completely preventable. The typical organization treats conflict like a building fire — wait until something's burning, then scramble to put it out. The result is lost productivity, damaged relationships, legal exposure, leadership burnout, and a revolving door of talent that never seems to stop spinning.There's a better way.In Conflict-Ready, the experts at the High Conflict Institute — who have trained thousands of leaders across corporations, small businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits — reveal why reactive conflict management is a losing game, and what it looks like to build an organization that's prepared before the first spark flies.This isn't about eliminating conflict. It's about baking a smarter, more proactive approach directly into your culture, your systems, and your leadership — so that when high conflict personalities, charged situations, and difficult dynamics inevitably show up, your organization knows exactly what to do.You'll learn how to recognize the patterns that escalate conflict before they explode, develop the organizational habits and structures that defuse tension early, equip your managers and HR teams with the skills of the most conflict-competent leaders, and shift your entire organization from firefighting mode to conflict-ready.The organizations winning today aren't the ones that avoid conflict. They're the ones that are ready for it.

24 Principles to Help You Get Out of Your Own Way

Just F*cking Do It

Your Playbook for Designing a Winning Workplace Culture
Most organizations are losing the talent engagement game, and many don’t even know they’re playing it. Gallup’s 2026 State of the Global Workplace shows that only 1 in 5 employees are engaged at work. Game of Engagement offers a fresh solution to what leaders consistently identify as a critical challenge: how to create a workplace culture that sustains employee commitment, energy, motivation, and performance over the long term. Blair Bloomston’s unexpected solution is designing your workplace culture so that everyone wins.
Bloomston’s strategic LIFT Framework is a practical approach to developing a workplace culture in which employee engagement thrives. Inspired by principles of game design, the framework helps leaders intentionally shape four key elements that influence how people think, feel, connect, and contribute at work:
<ul>
<li>Language defines what your culture stands for and whether people believe it.</li>
<li>Influence shapes what work feels like, from outer incentives to inner motivation.</li>
<li>Fellowship determines whether people see each other as teammates or opponents.</li>
<li>Traction takes repeatable actions and transforms them from simple engagement into lasting results.</li>
</ul>
Bloomston draws on vivid, high-stakes stories from her work with world-class sports teams, government organizations, the military, and elite global corporations, demonstrating how the game of engagement plays out in every type of workplace to drive motivation, buy-in, and results.
Your workplace culture already operates like a game of engagement. Become the leader who designs a game people want to play to win.

The Instant New York Times bestseller 'Masterful' - Adam Grant 'So interesting' - Pandora Sykes 'Wonderful' - Angela Duckworth An essential read to become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Range. We are constantly told to 'keep our options open' and 'think outside the box' - but what if endless freedom is exactly the problem? Drowning in a dizzying excess of choice often leads to dread, anxiety, and burnout. In Inside the Box, award-winning author David Epstein reveals a powerful truth: to thrive, you don't need more freedom. You need to build your own box. From navigating an uncertain future to building a life, intentional boundaries breed brilliance: <ul><li>Relationships: Couples who consciously commit are more satisfied than those who simply 'keep their options open'.</li><li>Artificial Intelligence: A lack of advanced microchips forced engineers at DeepSeek into brilliant workarounds, producing a model to rival ChatGPT.</li><li>Business: General Magic - a tech startup with limitless funding - failed spectacularly because they refused to set internal limits.</li><li>Science: The periodic table wasn't born from boundless genius, but the strict demands of a textbook deadline.</li><li>Music: Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett produced the bestselling solo piano album of all time by adapting to a broken piano.</li></ul> Constraints are not obstacles - they are powerful tools we can wield. Weaving gripping storytelling with cognitive science, Inside the Box proves the secret to expanding your potential isn't chasing endless options. It's taking back control and choosing the right limits. 'David Epstein's first two books - The Sports Gene and Range - were brilliant, but Inside the Box is his best . . . I won't think about my own work the same way ever again' - Malcolm Gladwell
