Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize“A gut-punch of a novel…Small Boat explores the power of the individual and asks us to consider the havoc we may cause others, the extent to which our complacency makes us complicit – and whether we could all do better.” —The 2025 Booker judges A singular, gut-punching parable for our times about complicity in the face of tragedy, based on the true story of a French navy officer who ignored distress calls from migrants drowning in the English Channel.In November 2021, an inflatable dinghy carrying migrants from France to the UK capsized in the English Channel, causing the deaths of 27 people on board.Despite receiving numerous calls for help, the French authorities wrongly told the migrants they were in British waters and had to call the British authorities for help. By the time rescue vessels arrived on the scene, nearly three hours later, all but two of the migrants had died, the worst single loss of life ever to occur in the Channel.Vincent Delecroix’s acclaimed Small Boat is a fictional first-person account of the French navy officer who took the migrants’ calls—and her attempts to justify the indefensible. Accused of failing in her duty, she refuses to be held more responsible than others for this disaster, than the crises behind these tragedies. What unfolds is a gripping, thought-provoking examination of the darkest threat to our humanity. Powerful, forceful, and haunting, Small Boat confronts the most difficult but important moral questions of our time: to what extent are we all complicit?"This book challenged me profoundly. It moved me, and stayed with me. It’s not an easy read – but as our politics descend into hate-mongering and point-scoring, it’s an essential story that needs to be told.”— Dua Lipa

A Smart Woman's Guide to Strategy, Salary, and Self-Leadership

Own Your Success

There is a leadership skill no one taught you--yet it determines the quality of every decision you make.Leaders are trained to have answers, drive alignment, and persuade others to move forward. But in today's environment, those scripts are persistently working against them. The more leaders push their message, the less progress they actually make. The result: missed signals, shallow alignment, and decisions made without the full picture.The leaders who outperform are not the most persuasive. Instead, they are the ones who know how to discover what others don't yet know how to say.In Winning Without Persuading, Esther Choy--founder of the Leadership Story Lab--offers a radically different approach to leadership: one built on curiosity, story discovery, and the ability to uncover the hidden information that drives better decisions, stronger trust, and lasting change.The real leadership power lies in learning how to find the stories that change everything.Through her T² principle--Transaction × Transformation--Choy shows how every interaction can achieve immediate outcomes while also reshaping how people think, contribute, and lead.You'll learn how to: <ul><li>Make better decisions by uncovering what your team isn't saying--before it's too late</li><li>Use curiosity to access insights, risks, and opportunities that persuasion alone will not reveal</li><li>Create interpersonal connections that enable people to feel seen, speak up, and stay--strengthening engagement, retention, and team performance</li><li>Ask the questions that surface original, high-value thinking--not rehashed answers</li><li>Lead with clarity, human insight, and authentic voice in an age where AI can generate answers--but not understanding</li></ul> In a world where everyone is talking, the leaders who stand out are the ones who know how to see, hear, and uncover what others miss.

Are you a sage on the stage---or a guide on the side?  Good leaders are one. Great leaders are both.

Management Tips 2027: From Harvard Business Review

After decades of being led, leading, advising, and learning-often the hard way-Christopher Berger finally puts into words the leadership lessons he wishes he had earlier in his career.

LeadWise is a practical leadership guide forged through real decisions, real consequences, and real people. Drawn from military service, federal leadership, and special operations environments, it moves beyond theory to focus on what leadership actually looks like when it matters most.

From the sands of Operation Desert Storm to the complex corridors of government bureaucracy, Berger weaves personal transformation with hard-earned leadership lessons shaped by exceptional mentors and trusted teammates. The result is a candid, experience-driven narrative that reaches far beyond the military-offering timeless insights for leaders in business, government, and organizations of every size.

In LeadWise, you will learn how to:

¿ Lead with integrity when decisions are difficult and visibility is low
¿ Balance authority, accountability, and trust in high-stakes environments
¿ Navigate change, uncertainty, and resistance without losing credibility
¿ Learn from failure, adversity, and imperfect outcomes
¿ Develop people-not just processes-while delivering results

Written with gratitude for the mentors and teammates who shaped the journey, LeadWise is for leaders at every level-those preparing to lead, those currently carrying responsibility, and those determined to lead well when it matters most.

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
 
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
 
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
 
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

Mitigating the “Skills Gaps”

If there was a core lie sabotaging your life, wouldn't you want to know what it is? And wouldn't you want to find the way to be free?

If there was a core lie sabotaging your life, wouldn’t you want to know what it is?And wouldn’t you want to find the way to be free?Most of us have been living inside a lie so long it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. Until we see it, we’ll keep circling the same frustrations, the same shame, the same thoughts of&nbsp;I’ll never change. But freedom is possible.&nbsp;In&nbsp;The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, Jennie Allen pulls back the curtain on the enemy’s oldest trick—and shows us how to dismantle it with the spiritual authority we already have in Christ. She guides us through how to:<ul><li>Spot the three core lies everyone believes—and name the one running your life.</li><li>Trace the moment your lie took root and how the enemy’s been using it to keep you stuck.</li><li>Cut ties with your old narratives so they stop shaping your choices.</li><li>Challenge lies in real time and replace them with God’s truth.</li></ul>&nbsp;This isn’t about behavior modification. This is about transferring your life out of the enemy’s kingdom of lies and into the kingdom of light—where joy, peace, and strength aren’t fleeting feelings but your everyday reality. Freedom starts here. Take hold of it.
