A Story of Community

Passionately Transforming Management

A critical exploration of how passion can create more effective organizations, Passionately Transforming Management restores curiosity and joy to management education. Climate change and the rapidly shifting balance of global geo-political power are changing the conditions within which organizations operate, and big data and AI are altering the criteria for a successful manager. By critically disrupting existing literature on management in education, O'Doherty and Hjorth reimagine a syllabus for management and organization by drawing on research that shows how successful businesses and entrepreneurs are those that have followed their private passions. Authored by leading members of the management and organization studies community with a wealth of experience, this concise book exposes the diverse potential of management in contributing to business success by foregrounding how passion - be it for science fiction, computer games, drum and bass, poetry or football - is vital to become a reflexive and effective manager. This is the ideal book for researchers in search of playful alternatives and advances in management theory and practice, original teachings in organization studies and critical management studies, and regenerative university course outlines and reading lists.

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

The Conflict Beneath the Conflict

The book "Smoky the Cowhorse" by Will James chronicles the full life of a remarkable horse. It begins with Smoky's birth and early experiences as a wild range horse in the American West, detailing his interactions within the herd, encounters with predators, and the initial human intervention of branding. The narrative then follows Smoky's breaking and training by the skilled cowboy Clint on the Rocking R ranch. Despite initial resistance, Smoky develops a deep trust and affection for Clint, demonstrating exceptional loyalty and intelligence by rescuing an injured Clint. This bond solidifies, and Clint secures Smoky as his personal horse, with Smoky excelling as a cowhorse during roundups. However, their partnership is tragically interrupted when Smoky is stolen by a horse thief. Clint embarks on a relentless search for his beloved horse. After his theft, Smoky endures a period of severe abuse, transforming him into "The Cougar," a legendary, man-hating bucking horse in rodeos. His spirit eventually wanes, leading to his sale to a livery stable where he is renamed "Cloudy" and suffers neglect and harsh conditions, nearly dying. He finds brief solace with a kind old man before being sold again for grueling farm work. The story culminates with Clint unknowingly encountering the emaciated, broken horse. Recognizing the legendary bucking horse's past, Clint rescues Smoky, nursing him back to health over a harsh winter. Smoky slowly recovers, regaining his vitality and eventually returning to Clint, signifying the enduring power of their unique bond and the horse's complete redemption.

The Leadership Mirror

From Ann Handley, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everybody Writes, comes a smart, timely, clear-eyed guide to knowing when to speed up, when to slow down, and when the shortcut costs more than it saves. You already know how to go fast. What nobody taught you is when not to. In ASAP: As SLOW As Possible, Ann Handley rebels against the false urgency baked into modern work and life—and shows you how to recognize Slowments: the moments when slowing down is not weakness, hesitation, or delay. It's the smarter move. Because when everyone has access to the same shortcuts, the real edge is knowing when not to take them. With research, brain science, vivid storytelling, and Handley’s signature wit, ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals the hidden speed traps that weaken our judgment, creativity, and original thinking—especially in an age when AI makes the fastest path feel like the smartest one—and gives you a practical way to know when speed is serving you and when it’s taking you farther from what matters. You'll discover: <ul><li>The Hasty Progress Illusion—why motion can feel like mastery, even when nothing lasting is taking hold</li><li>The ASAP Matrix—how to know exactly when to autopilot, when to pause, and when a moment deserves more of you</li><li>The six Slowments in life and in work—the pivotal moments when slowing down changes what happens next</li><li>How to protect your judgment in a world eager to outsource it</li><li>When choosing analog leads to sharper ideas, wiser decisions, more creative approaches, stronger relationships, and meaningful work</li><li>How to stop confusing speed with progress—and start choosing the pace the moment actually requires</li></ul> ASAP: As SLOW As Possible reveals slowness as a generative force and for the first time gives you a way to harness life’s most important slow moments. Not by doing less, opting out, or becoming the kind of person who ferments things in a shed. But by knowing when speed helps—and when it hollows out the very thing you hoped it would serve. It’s time to choose the long road when the shortcut costs too much.

When to Take the Long Road in a Shortcut World

ASAP: As Slow as Possible

An inspiring, candid memoir of leadership in times of adversity—by the former CEO of Disney and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ride of a Lifetime Robert Iger was less than a year into his retirement when he got an urgent phone call from the chair of the Disney board: Would he be willing to return to his job as CEO? Finances were shaky, leadership was flagging, morale was dangerously low, and the brand was tarnished. They needed him back. It wasn’t going to be easy this time around. The entertainment industry was facing existential threats: movie theaters had suffered in the pandemic, traditional TV was fading, and audiences were moving, at alarming speed, toward streaming platforms and short-form content. It was harder to deliver profit, let alone growth. Legacy media everywhere was being split up, getting swallowed by other companies, or simply running itself into the ground. When Iger agreed to return, he did so with one goal in mind: to put the failed succession behind him and put Disney back on firm footing. To survive, the company—and Iger himself—would have to become more resilient, innovative, and, above all, creative. Iger would also have to learn to be a new kind of leader, and he would be challenged in ways he never imagined. How do you lead through periods of adversity? How do you regain the trust of employees, customers, and shareholders? Iger would have to develop a new playbook, for a new era, and he would make his share of mistakes along the way. One Last Time is the story of the sometimes bumpy, never boring journey to reconnect a great company to its core values, while building a new, lasting foundation in a highly disruptive and rapidly changing world.

The Dog Park Murders

A cozy, seasonal romance-mystery in which a grumpy café owner teams up with a sunshiny pet groomer to solve a murder that's shocked the small town of Labrador Falls. First book in the Dog Park Murders miniseries that's a perfect blend of Only Murders in the Building and The Pumpkin Spice Café. A killer has been unleashed in their small town… Juliette Macintyre has never met a dog she didn’t love. For one thing, dogs don’t judge, unlike the human residents of Labrador Falls. Most locals look at her with suspicion because her father was once a dirty cop, even though Juliette is upbeat, helpful, and the best pet groomer around. She just needs to prove it…starting with new resident Joel Cunningham, an enigma wrapped in a checked shirt and a scowl. Joel runs the Brewed Awakening café, where the coffee is as smooth as Joel is surly. He doesn’t serve pumpkin spice, he doesn’t chitchat, and he claims he doesn’t like dogs. Yet when Juliette stumbles upon a dead body in the dog park, strangled with one of her custom leashes, Joel becomes an unexpected ally. He has no intention of opening up, to either his cute neighbor or the foster pup she foists on him. But he can’t let a biased detective frame Juliette for murder. Whoever killed the widely loathed Maurice Allsop may be desperate enough to strike again. If they can just ignore their chemistry and focus on the clues, Juliette and Joel might be able to solve the case—before somebody else bites the dust… For fans of... <ul> <li>Grumpy/Sunshine Romance</li> <li>Small-Town Cozy Mystery</li> <li>Amateur Sleuths</li> <li>Twisty-Turny Whodunits</li> <li>Pet Sidekicks</li></ul> "With an endearing cast, a charming small town, and two highly likable main leads, THE DOG PARK MURDERS provides a light, cozy mystery that hits all the right notes, especially for dog lovers!"&nbsp; —Fresh Fiction

A Grumpy Sunshine Cozy Mystery Romance

From the acclaimed filmmaker and Sunday Times bestselling author comes a frank, insightful and heartwarming exploration of the myriad issues surrounding contemporary motherhood. "It was the first time I'd ever signed 'Mummy', and it was a goodbye letter." "I feel so honoured to have carried you both for nine months and delivered you safely into the arms of your parents." "I knew I had to be in that little girl's life. The next time I got out, I never used drugs again." "As a refugee, I say to my daughter, 'You have been born in a safe place. Never take that for granted.'" After having her first child, Stacey Dooley had a new understanding of what family means - but not everyone's experience of motherhood is the same. In Dear Minnie, Stacey brings her trademark empathy and investigative skill to an entirely new 'frontline', exploring the varied perspectives of mothers of all experiences. Using letters that each mother has written to their child as her starting point, Stacey's frank, honest, and moving inquiry takes in experiences from pregnancy to birth and beyond, uncovering the messy truths and different emotional journeys women take, as well as the common bonds they all share. Dear Minnie shines a light on the quiet selflessness, resilience, pain, trauma, grief, and joy of every kind of mother, to tell a story that transcends culture and geography, and speaks to us all.
