It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Who You Are Matters

Strategy is useless if the strategist is compromised.
Most business books focus on strategy, intelligence, or motivation. This one starts where outcomes are actually decided.
Drawing on patterns observed across more than one hundred founders and senior leaders, this book examines the forces that quietly shape performance over time.
This is not a book about working harder, thinking faster, or becoming exceptional. There are no "10 steps" to achieving your goals or self-help tools to get you going. Instead, it offers a frank analysis of the internal distortions that cause capable leaders to make predictable mistakes when pressure rises. These patterns are not culture or region-specific; they are human-centric.
Through clear analysis, the book reveals why intelligence narrows under stress, why motivation fades without structure, why ego distorts judgment, and why unexamined beliefs quietly run organisations long after a new strategy has been declared.
Written for leaders, founders, executives, and professionals operating in high-responsibility environments, this is a sober framework for durability rather than drama, and for governance rather than intensity.
Inside, You Will Discover:
· The operational advantage that separates durable leaders from those who burn out.
· The hidden mechanism that allows unexamined beliefs to hijack strategy.
· Why the most dangerous form of ego is the one you least suspect.
· The link between identity stability and your ability to scale under pressure.
· Why traditional motivation fails in high-stakes environments, and what replaces it.
· The counter-intuitive method for reshaping unhelpful beliefs without "self-help" fluff.
· The real cost of success, and why not everyone is prepared to pay it.
This book explains why some leaders endure while others, equally capable, slowly deteriorate.

The Quiet Advantage - Why Some Leaders Endure Under Pressure While Others Collapse

Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else.The true, larger-than-life story of George "Boe" Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his "don't just break the rules but make up new ones" attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs.This is a modern-day 'Big Fish' tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him.Boe helped create the clunkiest - many would say ugliest - looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago - and it's bigger now than it's ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful... We're not talking about the shoe anymore.In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else.

The need for resilience at organisational, department and individual level has never been greater. Geopolitical conflict, climate change, supply chain disruption and political instability are just a handful of the risks that leaders must mitigate to ensure stable business operation and optimum effectiveness. Project resilience refers to the ability of a project or initiative to anticipate, adapt and recover from unexpected challenges, disruptions or uncertainties. It involves the capacity to withstand shocks, maintain functionality in the face of adversity, and quickly recover to a stable state. Resilient projects underpin resilient organisations; a resilient organisation produces sustainable competitive advantage. This book offers a structured framework - the Project Resilience Maturity Model - to assess and enhance resilience in organisations. The authors begin by considering different approaches to project resilience, and by identifying potential tensions therein. In the second part, methods of sustaining project resilience are examined, focusing on the perspective of the project manager, personal responsibility and the role of leadership. The latter part of the textbook provides practical tools and applications to assess and enhance project resilience. Throughout, the authors employ a pedagogical framework designed to ensure maximum effectiveness for students and practitioners. Chapters are organised to reflect the evolution of project resilience maturity, moving from early-stage compliance to strategic integration and transformative resilience. Concepts are introduced in a sequential order that builds on what has come before, with Key Takeaways summarising each chapter's most critical points. Fictional case studies illustrate how topics can be been implemented in a complex project management setting, while Key and Dormant Tensions highlight potential blind spots. Demystifying complex topics without sacrificing scholarly rigour, Project Resilience provides you with a strategic approach to ensuring projects are well-equipped to withstand uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. It is the perfect textbook to support advanced Project Management and Organisational Resilience courses, and to provide practical methods for leading responsible organisations.

We are often told to trust our instincts. But what if those instincts are quietly working against us?

Unseen Leadership: Interrupt the Instincts That Block Your Success challenges what leaders have long been rewarded for. Through decades advising and coaching senior executives, author Amy J. Clark has seen firsthand how instinctive habits that once drove achievement now create blind spots that block progress.

Through powerful stories, insight, and reflection, the book introduces the CARE Leadership Activator(TM)-Curiosity, Adaptability, Resilience, and Empathy, a new measurement of leadership designed for an unpredictable future. These are not soft skills; they are the strategic edge leaders need to stay credible, trusted, and influential when conditions change faster than comfort allows.

This is the shift no one taught you to trust-how to move beyond instinct, interrupt old patterns, and lead with deeper awareness and impact.

Unseen Leadership invites you to redefine how you measure success and lead at the level you are built for.

The skills that built your business will destroy it if you don't evolve.

You created value by operating, deciding, and leading from the front. But companies that depend on founders die with them - not from competition, but from continuity failure. The hardest shift in business isn't growth. It's stepping back from operations while ensuring strategic discipline that outlives you.

Most owners get this transition wrong. They cling to running the company or walk away entirely. Both choices destroy value.

Whether you're an owner stepping back, a CEO navigating ownership dynamics, a board member seeking oversight clarity, a CFO bridging operations and ownership, or a family office protecting generational wealth-this is your evolution manual. Not theory-systems. Not advice-architecture. Not wishful thinking-what actually endures.

You'll learn how to:

Shape strategy without running execution
Judge CEOs and management without interference
Build succession that sustains value, not personalities
Allocate capital with discipline that outlasts leadership
Create governance that protects performance across generations

Ownership is not a reward for building a business.

It is a responsibility to protect what survives without you.

How Non-Executive Owners Build Companies That Outlive Them

Inside Asset Management

When Alpha Equals Beta

Lead with humanity and end the era of management mediocrity. If you've ever vowed to be a better boss than the ones you've had, this book is for you. James (J.R.) Lowry and Daniela De Luca provide an essential roadmap for first-time managers and emerging leaders who refuse to repeat decades of management mediocrity. Drawing on Lowry's experience as a former US Air Force officer, McKinsey partner, and C-suite executive and De Luca's research on career advancement, this comprehensive guide shows how ditching outdated command-and-control habits-and leading with empathy instead-unlocks stronger performance, trust, and engagement in today's teams. Nearly 70 percent of American workers are disengaged, according to Gallup-a clear sign that traditional management approaches are no longer working. In response, Lowry and De Luca offer a practical framework that balances the art and science of management. They reveal the most common misconceptions and mistakes managers make, explain how the manager's role is evolving, and address the mental and emotional preparation required to lead well (even on hard days). Through concrete, actionable practices, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had shows you how to manage with humanity, both in team practices like delegation and coaching, and in challenges such as office politics and burnout. The result is higher team engagement, stronger productivity, and a workplace culture where people can genuinely thrive. Becoming the leader you always wanted to work for is within your reach. With a relatable blend of research, stories, and advice, Be the Boss You Wish You'd Had is a clarion call to move beyond the "management meh" that plagues many organizations worldwide. J.R. Lowry and Daniela De Luca invite leaders to reclaim the human element of their work and, in doing so, change their own lives and the lives of those they lead.
