Birkin F: Symbiotic Business

Symbiotic Business

A Reality Check for Boardrooms, Business Schools and Citizens

The leaders who thrive over the next decade will not be the ones who compete with AI on its own terms. They will be the ones who invest deeply in the qualities that make them irreplaceable. This is The Human Brand.We are at an inflection point in the history of leadership. The qualities that used to be the bedrock of great leaders--analytical skills, deliverable speed, clear communication--can now be easily matched or outperformed by AI. So if these don't make a leader great, what does?The Human Brand argues it's the fundamentally human qualities of leadership that will make them thrive--the ability to exercise genuine judgment, build real trust, or be authentically present with another human being. Those qualities are not footnotes to leadership. They are what leadership is. That is your human brand and this book provides a clear, grounded, and practical path to building one.<ul><li>In Part 1, you'll tackle the anxiety surrounding AI head-on to better understand your value in the company when AI can do what you used to do. You'll learn what tasks can easily be tackled by AI without value loss and which you should focus on.</li><li>In Part 2, you'll learn the how to develop the four core qualities of the human brand--judgment, empathy, courage, and presence--and what makes them so important.</li><li>In Part 3, you'll translate those qualities into action, learning how to hone the art of storytelling and use your brand to build a company culture that can stand the test of time.</li><li>Finally, in Part 4, you'll learn a framework for self-development and how to leave a legacy built on your humanity.</li></ul>The Human Brand is a book for leaders who want to navigate the AI era not with anxiety, but with clarity, purpose, and a deep confidence in what makes them irreplaceable.

How Leaders Stay Relevant and Competitive in the Age of AI

The Human Brand

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.

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

Purpose Beyond Profit

What it takes to sustain leadership successAt some point in every senior leader's career, the skills that built success stop being enough to sustain it. The work accumulates, the stakes rise, and the gap between performing well and breaking down narrows. Most leadership books train skills at the surface. Conditioned is about what sits underneath them.An athlete trains, competes, and recovers on a schedule with an off-season built in. Leadership has no off-season, and almost no one is conditioned for that. Allen Weaver brings more than twenty years in sport psychology, executive coaching, and Fortune 100 human resources to a consistent observation: the leaders who last are not the ones with the most refined skills, but the ones who built the conditioning that supports them.Conditioned maps that conditioning through the Peak System. Two anchors, Mental Performance (how leaders show up) and Wellness (how they sustain the ability to keep showing up), are expressed across ten dimensions of leadership readiness, each read on a simple three-state scale: Peak, Plateau, and Valley. The book closes with three disciplines for the long climb of a leadership career: Mastery, Future-Proofing, and Legacy.The stories come from boardrooms, locker rooms, and coaching environments: Mary Barra steadied General Motors in crisis, Lisa Su rebuilt AMD, and Rory McIlroy and LeBron James extended their peaks past the age when peaks are supposed to end. Weaver's own path runs from a marathon medical tent to the coaching practice it inspired. Conditioned is written for senior and mid-career leaders who have achieved success and now intend to sustain it.Peak is what can be reached. Plateau is where reliable performance lives. Valley is where the learning happens. The climb begins with conditioning.

A sitting CEO's guide to making safety a strategic leadership advantage In A Walk on the Safe Side: Leading with Science in an Uncertain World, Jennifer F. Scanlon, President and CEO of UL Solutions, a leading global safety science organization, states that "innovation without safety is failure." That's what makes safety a critical leadership responsibility-protecting a company's brands, reputation and financial strength. Scanlon shows how leaders can evaluate and address risks amid increasing complexity and fast-paced developments, across AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, supply chains, industrial and consumer products and more. A Walk on the Safe Side offers an insider's perspective from the helm of UL Solutions, the iconic organization descended from Underwriters Laboratories whose century-long legacy of testing and certification has provided assurance and certification for billions of products in the marketplace. Scanlon addresses how potential risks grow more numerous as leaders drive continuous improvement at a scale and pace that determines competitive advantage, providing a framework for safety-first decision-making. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>How to elevate safety from an operational concern to a C-suite strategic imperative that builds trust and competitive advantage</li> <li>Practical approaches for leading through uncertainty by grounding organizational decisions in safety science, transparency, and rigorous standards</li> <li>Strategies for managing emerging risks in AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, and environmental protection </li> <li>Personal and professional insights drawn from Scanlon's two-time tenure as a CEO, leading both USG Corporation's international expansion and UL Solutions' successful 2024 IPO on the NYSE</li> <li>A leadership philosophy that treats safety as the currency of assurance, reflecting the highest responsibility organizations owe their stakeholders</li> </ul> A Walk on the Safe Side is written for business leaders, executives, and professionals, providing a roadmap for navigating risk, building trust, and driving growth while maintaining the highest standards of responsibility and transparency.

Leading with Science in an Uncertain World

A Walk on the Safe Side

“Mark has spent decades in the trenches of accounting and corporate governance. This book shares real, hard-won experience from large enterprises, working at scale, not on theory. He highlights a crucial need: keeping the finance function aligned with the actual shape of the business. Especially in the AI age, this is a rare, must-have guide for anyone reading (or preparing) management packs or sitting on a board.”
 — John Turner,
 CEO, XBRL International
 
 Financial reality is constructed, not discovered. What executives see in dashboards and board reports is not a neutral reflection of events, the outcome of a financial architecture that has evolved and accumulated over time.&nbsp;Consolidation logic, data models, validation rules, systems, escalation mechanisms, and reporting routines together form what the author calls the 'Translation Layer' that stands between raw economic activity and managerial visibility.
 
 The book develops a practical framework for understanding how financial architecture influences management information, capital allocation, risk visibility, governance, and decision making. Each chapter dissects a structural component of this architecture, demonstrating how design choices determine what becomes visible, comparable, and actionable at group level. It examines how reporting systems can produce technically correct numbers while obscuring strategic drift, weakening operational visibility, and masking emerging problems in cash flow, working capital, project performance, and organizational resilience. It also considers the implications of digital finance, ERP systems, XBRL, analytics, and AI for financial reporting and control.
 
 Bringing together financial management, corporate reporting, management control, and digital transformation, this book will be valuable to scholars and advanced practitioners in accounting, finance, governance, and business administration, as well as CFOs, controllers, board members, and executive education audiences seeking a deeper understanding of how financial representation shapes corporate judgment.

Design for Social Responsibility

This book explores how design decisions, from societal and policy-level interventions to business models and product-level choices, can reduce material intensity and support a transition to a regenerative future. The challenge of the twenty-first century is not simply how to consume more sustainably, but how to meet human needs while reducing pressure on global ecosystems. Designing Circularity addresses this challenge by reframing circularity as a systems problem: how to achieve the same, or better, outcomes for society with less material and energy throughput.At the centre of the book is a triple-layered systemic design framework for coordinating circular initiatives across socio-technical and policy systems, organisational business and service models, and products and assets. Drawing on research, practitioner insights, and real-world examples, the book shows how governments, businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and designers can work across these layers to reshape the conditions that influence production, consumption, and resource use.Through the lens of material intensity, Designing Circularity challenges readers to consider not only how products are made, but how systems are organised to meet human needs. It examines how effectively economies and sectors meet those needs in relation to the materials and energy they use, and how shared forms of provision can reduce dependence on materially intensive patterns of individual consumption. Written for researchers, practitioners, designers, industry leaders, and policymakers, the book offers a practical pathway for applying systems stewardship to create collective abundance within ecological limits.The Introduction and Chapters 1 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 International license.

Stewardship, Policy, and the Circular Transition

Designing Circularity

Compared to their larger Asian counterparts, Philippine conglomerates have tracked a unique growth trajectory in the face of chronic poverty, economic inequality, and political conflict. While there are many studies about the zaibatsus of Japan and the chaebols of South Korea, there has been minimal research on Philippine conglomerates and their contributions to the successful turnaround of an economy that was once considered the region's perennial laggard.In this collection of essays, the authors interrogate the relationship between conglomerates and inclusive development by highlighting the Philippine experience and comparing it with those of other Southeast and East Asian economies, notably Vietnam, Indonesia, and South Korea. Have Philippine conglomerates been central to the country's economic miracle? How have they contributed to the attainment of the government's inclusive development agenda? What can be learned from the successes and failures of other Asian conglomerates? These are the key themes this volume seeks to answer to shed light on how conglomerates have impacted the course of the country's economic development.

Philippine Conglomerates And Inclusive Development: Tracking A Unique Trajectory In Asia

We are running our lives, teams, and organizations as though our resources are unlimited. They are not. Regenerative People names the cost of that assumption and offers a different way to work, lead, and live. Drawing on six decades of combined coaching and consulting experience, Janet M. Harvey and Silvia Tassarotti trace the shift from extraction to regeneration--from optimizing outcomes to evolving with them, from controlling uncertainty to partnering with it, and from isolating to protect what we have to interconnecting with what sustains us. Regenerative People moves through four expanding circles: the personal renewal that makes all of this possible, the leadership practices that build resilient teams, the organizational models that generate long-term value rather than short-term extraction, and the community-level shifts that make regeneration collective rather than individual. Each chapter pairs concepts with reflective questions and practices, inviting readers to slow down and apply what they're learning rather than simply collect more ideas. The authors write as guides, not lecturers, walking alongside readers the way Virgil walked beside Dante, offering models and questions in search of the reader's own answers. For coaches, executives, and anyone who senses that the old operating model is reaching its limits, this book offers both the diagnosis and the practice: a way to notice drift before it costs something irreplaceable and to deliberately choose a more enduring way to lead.
