McConnell R: Things That Should Be
Simple (But Aren't)

Things That Should Be Simple (But Aren't)

Why organisations become complex - and how to fix them

Business today remains tethered to a paradigm that is long out of date. This mindset assumes that universal answers exist: businesses can simply apply compartmentalized operations and follow linear paths to success. Experienced managers know business doesn't work this way. Where should they turn? In this groundbreaking book, Doug Garnett shows how complexity science reveals a new understanding of how business works that is as useful on the front lines as in the C-suite. This discipline--the study of behaviors in highly interconnected, adapting systems dominated by emergence--is revolutionizing fields from biology and economics to psychology and artificial intelligence. Recognizing a business as a complex adaptive system operating within other complex systems changes our perspective on everything from core concepts of demand, profit, and strategy to the nature of business success. Managers who grasp the order hidden within complexity discover not only a powerful new understanding of their role but also potential for dramatic contributions to success. The Complexity Paradigm features vivid examples ranging from local coffee shops to major corporations like PepsiCo, Boeing, Mattel, Starbucks, and General Motors as well as tech giants such as Apple and AT&amp;T. Grounding eye-opening theory in the realities of business, this foundational look at complexity offers deep insight and value for practitioners and students alike.

The Complexity Paradigm

What Really Drives Performance in the Age of AI

The Trust Advantage

In 1971, Surinder Arora stepped off a plane at Heathrow, a thirteen-year-old boy with limited English who was sent from the Punjab to find a future in a country so far from home. He had to learn a new language and discover shocking truths about his own family - all while working twice as hard as anyone else to prove his worth.

He never imagined that decades later, he would own the very skyline he first saw from the airplane window. From his early days as a waiter at the Penta hotel and trading on the Blackbushe market stalls to building a billion-pound empire, Surinder's journey is a masterclass in grit and Plan B thinking. Navigating the racial tensions of 1970s Britain, the 2008 financial crash and personal tragedy, he turned a struggle for survival into a legacy of hospitality.

Candid and inspiring, this is the definitive story of how one man conquered the high-stakes world of aviation hospitality.&nbsp;

This book is a timely exploration in light of the heightened requirement of business for novel solutions to meet the varied economic, ethical and social challenges organisations face, related to fast paced technological developments, increasing global market competition and associated environmental impacts and cultural inequality concerns.

A Relationship-centred Approach

LEADERSHIP AND DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT

'Fascinating ... Should be required reading everywhere' STEPHEN FRY 'An important book ... Both hopeful and practical' YUVAL NOAH HARARI Trust: like water, like electricity, our society can't function without it. It's a treasure, a living thing that can be cultivated and grown. But it can also wither and die, and it is increasingly under threat. From neighbourhoods to nations, we must get serious about trust and act before this precious resource runs out entirely. When Jimmy Wales founded Wikipedia more than two decades ago, he changed the landscape of knowledge forever - although almost no one realised it at the time. Today, people view Wikipedia 11 billion times every month in the English language alone. But in our 'post-truth' era, where the internet is a sea of disinformation and facts are increasingly malleable, Wales reminds us that it's more important than ever to return to the problem at the heart of it all: that without trust, we have no knowledge. And without knowledge, we can't fight back. Derived from decades of observation, participation and discussion with leaders across the world, these are his clear, actionable rules for building trust in business, leadership and life. The Seven Rules of Trust reveals the fundamental principles that transformed a website which was once regarded as a highly dubious source of information to a universally trusted source for facts. This book will help you become a trust-maker. To build deeper connections with others so you can be a better neighbour, a more understanding friend, even someone who can turn back the tide and inspire others to follow you. If you want to strengthen your relationships or simply bring more happiness and fulfilment into your life, then this is where to start. *** 'Where trust has been lost, Jimmy Wales offers routes to its rediscovery' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL 'Thank you to Jimmy Wales for founding Wikipedia and now, for the first time, telling us how he did it!' SIMON SINEK 'A powerful, essential book that cuts to the heart of how technology can benefit humanity' REID HOFFMAN

Regulating the Future of Work

Legal Governance of Agentic AI and Autonomous Agents

Corporate purpose is a fixture of boardrooms, annual reports, executives' talk, and employer branding. Yet the average effect of corporate purpose on financial performance is zero. Some firms turn purpose into concrete practices and stronger performance. Others do not live by purpose standards and create incoherent demands, poor coordination, and weaker performance. How to be part of the former group is a strategic question. The CLARITY framework developed in this book offers an answer grounded in evidence. Purpose statements, however eloquently crafted, remain stagnant without the leadership practices that embed them in employees' daily experiences. CLARITY connects the employees' purpose-based leadership experience to seven levers of performance: Commitment, Legitimacy, Autonomy, Resourcefulness, Innovativeness, Trust, and You. Drawing on extensive survey response data, experiments, simulations, and interviews with leaders in over thirty corporations, Rodolphe Durand and Harrison Munro-Clark explain why purpose succeeds in some organisations and backfires in others. For each lever, a chapter quantifies expected returns, identifies specific blockers, and provides practical do's and don'ts. Through cases including Spotify, Novo Nordisk, Boeing, and BrewDog, Durand and Munro-Clark show the rewards of effective implementation and the costs of failure. Purpose is a strategic choice, yet it pays off only when leaders do the work. Rigorous and practical throughout, CLARITY is a guide for leaders at every level who want to close the gap between purpose on paper and in practice.

Leading with Purpose for Sustained Performance

Clarity

Transform your leadership outcomes by changing these everyday words From A to THE: The Psycholinguistic Approach to Leadership, Ryan Avery, the 2012 world champion of public speaking and trained organizational psychologist, reveals how small shifts in everyday language create monumental changes in leadership outcomes. Drawing on linguistic data, original research, and real-world stories gathered over the last decade, Avery identifies the specific words that erode trust and weaken authority. The book blends science and storytelling to show why certain common words kill momentum, spark confusion, or undermine connection, and what to say instead. Avery provides replacement language designed to drive clarity, commitment, and trust. Each of the words is examined through psycholinguistic research, giving leaders evidence-based strategies to communicate with greater influence and impact across every interaction. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>Evidence-based explanations of how specific word choices shape perception, trust, and team motivation in leadership contexts</li> <li>Practical replacement language leaders can adopt immediately to strengthen authority and build deeper connection with their teams</li> <li>Real-world stories from coaching executives, leadership teams, and C-suite professionals across multiple industries over the last decade</li> <li>Psycholinguistic frameworks that connect everyday language patterns to measurable changes in leadership clarity and team commitment</li> </ul> Ideal for CEOs, executives, and leaders at every organizational level, From A to THE provides the research-backed approach to communication that replaces counterproductive language habits with precise, influence-driven alternatives, helping leaders build trust, create clarity, and inspire commitment through the words they choose daily.

The Future of Expertise

Kindness in Leadership

This textbook offers a lively and topical discussion of how digital technologies impact various aspects of organizations, such as structure, knowledge, collaboration, communication, identity, legitimacy and power. Taking a critical and nuanced approach, this engaging textbook introduces readers to central themes in organization studies and reflects on how changes brought about by digitalization have important implications for private, public and voluntary organizations, and on practical disciplines such as strategy, management, innovation and entrepreneurship. Contemporary case studies drawn from a wide range of international organizations demonstrate the real-world relationship between digital technologies and organizing. In addition to providing a comprehensive account of the role of technology in shaping organizational features, Digital Organizing concentrates on one particular type of digital technology, namely those with a developed user interface - such as social networking, wikis and collaboration software. The authors argue that these 'second generation' digital technologies, which offer almost seamless navigation and interaction, entail a unique redistribution and realignment of knowledge, expertise, resource and human resources that lead to a fundamental shift in the way organizations are structured and arranged. Updated to take into account the societal changes that have occurred regarding home working since the pandemic, this is an essential textbook for final year undergraduates, postgraduates and MBA students taking a module in technology and organization. It is also suitable for any student of organizational studies wanting to understand more about the role that the digital plays in contemporary organizing.
