Daily Habits for Leading from Any Level

90 Days to Grow Your Influence

A unique look at crisis leadership and the hard but invaluable lessons that can be learned in difficult and uncertain times. Our fascination with leadership runs deep and has done so for centuries - just witness the books on Nelson, Churchill and Thatcher. But what exactly are the attributes and competencies that separate those who lead effectively from those who won't, don't or can't? For many people, the acid test of true leadership comes during moments of crisis, when the stakes are highest and the decisions most difficult. It's no surprise, then, that our fascination with stories of leaders overcoming great adversity is endless. This interest has been exacerbated in recent years as every organization in the world has found itself in a crisis at some level, whether due to a collapse in sales, an unexpected spike in demand, a logistics nightmare or the sheer uncertainty that the Covid-19 pandemic wrought. Leading from the Frontline offers multiple perspectives of leadership from across multiple types of crisis. Each chapter tells the story of a leader who steered their organization through a particularly tumultuous period. It looks at the challenges they faced, the decisions they were forced to make, the personal pressures they encountered, the lessons they learned and the mistakes they made. It also examines how the crisis they responded to subsequently changed their organization or the environment in which they operate. Including issues of a medical, socio-political, environmental and military nature, while featuring a range of reputational crises case studies, Leading from the Frontline is essential reading for any leader to prepare their organization for uncertain futures.

**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

How to Have a Fulfilling Career That Does Good

We say the word Integrity in the business context constantly. It appears on corporate websites and in mission statements, sits at the top of regulators' principles, and features in almost every leadership speech. Yet ask most people what integrity actually is -- how you build it, test it, or notice when it's gone -- and the answers run dry. This book sets out to fill that gap.The authors reframe integrity not as compliance, image or moral superiority, but as alignment: the quiet, demanding practice of keeping what we value, what we say and what we do in one piece, especially when pressure, ambition or fear pull them apart. This book's central insight is that integrity moves in two directions at once. It is built from the inside out, through our own values, choices and courage. And it is sustained or eroded from the outside in, through leadership, culture, incentives and power. To understand integrity, you have to understand both.

You're not lazy, and you're not unlucky. You're stuck at a wealth ceiling - and ceilings are built, which means they can be found and removed.

If your income or net worth has orbited the same number for years despite genuinely trying to break through it, this isn't a mindset problem you can affirm your way past, and it isn't a tactics gap another sales script will fix. You already know how to work hard. What's missing is an accurate map of the specific, usually unconscious ways you're working against your own stated goal - and a system sturdy enough to hold you to a bigger number once you can finally see it clearly. The Wealth Ceiling is written specifically for capable, already-successful people: the founder, consultant, or high performer who has proven they can build something real, and who keeps hitting the same invisible wall anyway.

Drawing on high-performance psychology rather than hype, this book identifies the four faces financial self-sabotage most often wears among high earners - procrastination, underpricing, compulsive overwork, and unconscious self-correction - and replaces willpower-dependent fixes with a structured "wealth operating system" built to survive a demanding, busy, real professional life.

What's inside:
- The four faces of financial self-sabotage, and a diagnostic to find your own specific pattern
- The "financial thermostat" concept - why windfalls and raises so often don't stick, and how to reset your set point
- A framework for closing "identity debt," the gap between the income you've earned and the one you're actually charging or claiming
- Tools for building visibility tolerance, since staying under the radar quietly caps growth for many high performers
- A full Wealth Operating System: pricing floors, decision audits, delegation frameworks, and negotiation scripts
- A complete 12-month plan for breaking through your specific ceiling, with guardrails for protecting the gains once you do

The Wealth Ceiling

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

<div>Learn how the world’s most memorable brands find the words that make them impossible to ignore. Visual identity has its canon. Logos, typefaces, color systems, and design principles have filled bookshelves for decades. But behind every successful brand is another system that shapes perception, builds trust, and creates emotional connection: language. In How Brands Find Their Voice, brand writer and Brand Impact Awards founder Nick Carson gives verbal identity the visual design-book treatment it has long deserved. With a foreword by John Simmons—the acclaimed writer who coined the term “verbal identity”—and built on unprecedented access to leading branding agencies and in-house creative teams, this richly illustrated volume reveals how brand language is developed, expressed, and sustained across every touchpoint. Through in-depth case studies spanning hospitality, technology, consumer goods, and nonprofits, from global institutions to challenger brands, Carson explores how language becomes part of a brand’s DNA. Readers meet the people who do the work and discover how verbal identity emerges from collaboration, research, and craft. Inside, you’ll discover: <ul><li>The evolution of brand voice from advertising copy to modern verbal identity</li><li>How leading agencies develop language systems alongside visual identity</li><li>The strategic thinking behind memorable brand voices</li><li>Different approaches to tone, personality, storytelling, and communication</li><li>How organizations embed verbal identity across teams and touchpoints</li><li>What separates effective brand guidelines from documents that are never used</li><li>The opportunities and challenges that AI presents for brand language</li></ul> Featuring brands such as Ben &amp; Jerry’s, Mailchimp, Virgin, Liquid Death, Innocent, Oatly, and many others—and world-renowned agencies including COLLINS, Wolff Olins, and JKR—the book demonstrates that successful verbal identity is not about clever taglines or isolated campaigns. It’s about creating a coherent language system that shapes every interaction people have with a brand. Filled with photography, packaging, digital experiences, environmental graphics, annotated guidelines, and expert commentary,&nbsp;How Brands Find Their Voice presents language in context, where words and visuals work together to create meaning. For brand strategists, designers, copywriters, marketers, students, and business leaders, this book offers both inspiration and practical insight into one of branding’s most important—and least understood—disciplines.</div>

The Fritz Weekly Reader

Conspiracy for Greatness examines various aspects of our lives, areas that we have impacted with our conspiracies for smallness, and our gatherings of evidence and arguments that reinforce our limitations. This book helps readers examine some of the most significant aspects of their lives. They will become aware of and get present to the impact of their decisions and choices in their lives. They also learn to take responsibility for how they can turn their life around and design their future by inventing a vision for their life worth living and working to achieve.We have strong views about ourselves, others, and the world. These ideas heavily influence our everyday thoughts, decisions, and actions. As we become aware of our beliefs and their impact on our lives, we take responsibility for our actions. We may then more readily remove restricting boundaries and allow vital traits like responsibility for our actions and accountability for our decisions about our lives and the people around us to promote productive relationships, fulfillment, self-expression, and success.The word "Transformation" has become prominent in the coaching business for addressing personal or professional success through coaching methods. People constantly alter their feelings, appearance, activities, attitudes, behaviors, and thoughts. This book helps readers transform with awareness and effectiveness by utilizing their preferred coaching styles. When people take action to change their lives, learn more about themselves and grow, self-regulate their emotions, or learn how to communicate effectively to have a more productive life, better relationships, or other ways to improve their lives, they do so deliberately and purposefully. This book gives them methods to start changing.We've all faced a seemingly insurmountable issue that turns out to be easy when viewed in a less emotional state. No problem changed; we did. Conspiracy for Greatness helps readers overcome emotional and judgmental ideas. When they remove the emotion from a situation, they might see it differently and solve it more readily. This stage allows them to create a clear goal and action plan for personal and professional change.

During his visit on 1 June 1980, St. John Paul II recalled the twofold witness borne by this church: the contemplative life of the Carmelites - embodied in the timeless message of Lawrence of the Resurrection, who lived here, of a life spent in the constant presence of the Lord - and the faithfulness of the martyrs of 1792. Today, St. Joseph of the Carmelites remains the spiritual heart of the Catholic Institute of Paris. Since its founding in 1875, the institute has sought to unite faith, intellect, and service to the world, engaging in constant dialogue with the questions of every era. Students, teachers, and researchers are thus invited to make their work a place for seeking truth and proclaiming the Kingdom.
