Manifesto

The Main Character Manifesto

Become a Hero in a Corporate World

Business-Probleme sind selten rein betriebswirtschaftlich - sie sind emotional! Dieses Buch zeigt, warum wirtschaftlicher Erfolg untrennbar mit der Beziehungsebene verknüpft ist. Statt immer wieder Prozesse und Strukturen zu optimieren oder an Mitarbeitenden "herumzudoktern", braucht es einen Perspektivenwechsel: Unternehmen sind kein rein rationales System, sondern ein Spiegel der Menschen, die sie gestalten. Jede erfolgreiche Beziehung - ob zu Mitarbeitenden, Kollegen, Kunden, Partnern oder der Familie - beginnt bei der Beziehung zu sich selbst. Wer Klarheit über die eigenen Muster, Prägungen und emotionalen Verstrickungen gewinnt, trifft bessere Entscheidungen, schafft Vertrauen und baut echte Verbindungen auf. Denn Business-Strategien sind wertlos, wenn persönliche Blockaden den Blick auf das Wesentliche verstellen. Erfolg folgt, wenn wir uns selbst folgen können. Dieses Buch liefert nicht die nächste Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung zum Umgang mit unseren Mitmenschen, sondern liefert Impulse, um die innere Haltung zu klären und Verantwortung auch dort zu übernehmen, wo wir sie bei anderen wähnen - zur nachhaltigen Lösung vieler beruflicher und privater Herausforderungen.

Beziehung macht Business

What if most leaders are making their job much harder than it needs to be? Nobody asked you to hold every answer, control every outcome or take the weight alone. It's exhausting, and it doesn't even work.In this engaging leadership fable, CEO Richard Mansfield discovers that every relationship his leadership depends on - his CHRO, his CFO, his executive team, his Chair, his investor - runs on a contract he wrote in his head and never showed to anyone. With the help of his coach, Nigel, he learns to make the implicit explicit - one relationship at a time. It is uncomfortable. It is also, as Nigel promises, simple.This is a book for anyone who sits on an executive team, as every senior leader must pay attention to this specific, practical mechanism of contracting. Honest conversation is not a soft skill sitting alongside performance; it is the mechanism that produces it.Discover: - Reflective questions at the end of each chapter to help you apply the ideas to your own team. - Three practical frameworks you can apply immediately: the relationship map, contracting, and observation-based feedback. - VECTRA, a diagnostic model for reading an executive team as a system.

**This edition will be released in March 2027. If you want to get a copy ahead of then, have a look at our hardback edition, released in May 2026.** 'If you're worried about wasting your life, read this book.' Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is the most important decision you'll ever make. Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades. So what should you do? Most advice is based on no research, instead offering (misleading) platitudes like 'follow your passion'. It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones. Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:<ul><li>What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.</li><li>How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.</li><li>Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.</li></ul> It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference. 'This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I've seen.' Cal Newport, author of Deep Work 'A remarkably rigorous guide about how to find that perfect career for you.' Ali Abdaal, author of Feel-Good Productivity 'Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes.' Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of our Nature 'The most informative book you can read if you're stuck trying to make one of life's most important decisions.' Hannah Ritchie, author of Not the End of the World

The Science of Succeeding with People

Leading with clarity, character and quiet impact

Becoming More

What if companies do not fail because they ignore the future, but because they prepare for it? Business history is usually told through reassuring stories about complacency. Kodak failed to understand digital photography. Nokia missed the smartphone. Detroit underestimated electric vehicles. The lesson appears obvious: pay attention, embrace change and invest early. There is only one problem. The story is often wrong. The global automobile industry did not ignore the future. For more than a decade, its leaders talked incessantly about electrification, autonomous driving, connectivity, software and shared mobility. They invested enormous sums, acquired technology companies, hired software engineers, launched electric vehicles and reorganized themselves around the future they believed was coming. And yet many became weaker. Poisoned asks why? Drawing on more than two dozen interviews across the automotive world, Bryan Reimer and Magnus Lindkvist examine an industry in which almost every important prediction contained some truth, yet the resulting picture of the future proved profoundly misleading. Electric vehicles arrived, but as part of a much larger system involving batteries, charging infrastructure, industrial policy, software and China. Cars became connected, but this changed the economics and architecture of the industry in unexpected ways. Automation advanced, but not along the neat trajectory that had been forecast. Technologies expected to reinforce one another began competing for capital, talent and management attention. The problem was not stupidity, complacency or a failure to notice change. It was incompleteness. Human beings simplify the future in predictable ways. Organizations then magnify those distortions through their structures, incentives, histories and identities. Poisoned traces how this happens and introduces five organizational poisons -- Time, Status, Identity, True Lies and the Edges -- that can turn sensible preparation for the future into a source of strategic weakness. The automobile industry provides the book's central case study, but its predicament is increasingly universal. Technology, geopolitics, capital, consumer behaviour and business models are colliding across almost every established industry. The companies most at risk may therefore be neither the ignorant nor the complacent. They may be the ones confidently preparing for a future that is real, important -- and dangerously incomplete. Poisoned offers a different way to think about disruption. The challenge is not simply to identify the next big trend. It is to see how technologies, institutions, incentives and behaviours interact; to recognise what the dominant story leaves out; and to prevent yesterday's assumptions about tomorrow from becoming today's strategy.

Why preparing for the future can destroy your business

Leading and Thriving When You're Wired Differently

The Atypical Achiever

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

The Leader's Guide for Supporting People Through Their Hardest Moments

When Life Disrupts Work

For senior leaders whose strong record no longer settles the question being asked about them. Former global C-suite executive and executive coach Azhar Syed explains why strong performance stops being enough for senior advancement—and what changes when it does. Senior leaders are often surprised when the qualities that built their careers no longer move them forward. They deliver strong results, develop deep expertise, make important contributions, and earn support from influential people, yet they still are not chosen for broader responsibility. Syed identifies 6 familiar metrics leaders use to make the case for advancement: <ul><li>Results: “Look What I Have Delivered”</li><li>Expertise: “Look What I Know”</li><li>Personal Contribution: “Look What I Do”</li><li>Judgment: “Look How Right I Am”</li><li>Sponsorship: “Look Who Backs Me”</li><li>Reputation: “Look How I Have Changed”</li></ul> Each metric reflects a real way of creating value. But none, by itself, fully answers the question senior decision-makers are trying to resolve: Can this leader be trusted with greater risk, broader consequences, and decisions that affect the whole organization? Syed explains why becoming indispensable can keep a leader tied to a current role, why being right does not establish judgment at a wider radius unless others can test and carry the decision, why a powerful sponsor cannot make an appointment defensible on the leader’s behalf, and why genuine change may go unnoticed by the people whose expectations matter. Readers will learn what broader responsibility asks of them, what their record currently establishes, what decision-makers may reasonably infer, and how to distinguish between a gap they can address and a barrier embedded in the organization. Clear and candid, this book helps senior leaders understand why their established evidence may no longer settle the next decision—and what their record needs to establish before others can confidently trust them with more.
