A Guided Workbook to Write Your Memoir and Share Your Story

My Life, By Me

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.

Leadership Lessons from Times of Crisis

Leading from the Frontline

From bestselling author-illustrator Tom Percival comes a poignant picture book that encourages us to take notice of all the wondrous little things that happen to us each day.¿ Daniel is having a terrible day. From the rain that tumbles down from the dark, grey skies to the puddles that soak his shoes, Daniel's convinced that nothing will lift his mood. But everything changes when he hears the sweet, delicate sound of music, barely audible beneath the rain. Perhaps, if he looks carefully enough, Daniel might find that there are moments of joy and wonder that can brighten even the darkest of days . . .&nbsp;¿Also available:&nbsp;The Sea Saw The Invisible The River&nbsp; The Bridges

The Wonder

Unmasking Safety's Myth of Individualism unveils a critical gap in current safety thinking: safety is not solely an individual responsibility, but a social outcome that entails collective action and thinking. Focusing on individual responsibility often translates into individual blame (most often called accountability) and is usually accompanied by a reluctance to recognize the psychosocial harm that leads to physical and emotional injuries. The cost of this oversimplification is that we miss the crucial role of psychological well-being and social dynamics.This book encourages us not to dismiss the importance of safety management systems, but to expose their limitations. Along with practical pointers, it advocates for a relationship-centered evolution that prioritizes human connection to break through the current status quo and reduce serious injuries and fatalities. The focus on relationship-centered leadership and the critique of an exclusively individualistic or physical focus is timely and relevant. The book challenges leaders to rethink their approach to safety, moving beyond over-reliance on individual responsibility and embracing a relationship-centered model that fosters collective action and psychological wellbeing. It provides a blueprint where leaders act as catalysts for change, guiding and supporting their teams to achieve shared safety goals. Unlike traditional approaches, this book explores the crucial role of social dynamics and relational leadership in creating truly safe workplaces. It offers specific strategies for fostering communication and building trust. Additionally, this book provides valuable insights into the role of OHS advisors from a social perspective. It explores how leaders can effectively leverage the H&amp;S function by understanding the challenges OHS professionals face in influencing organizational culture. Finally, it offers practical advice and strategies for executives and managers as well as for OHS advisors on navigating hierarchical structures and effectively drive safety improvements.This book is written for all safety leaders, executives and safety professionals. It could also have a role in supplementary reading for graduate programs.

A Leader’s Blueprint for Psychological Safety and Organizational Resilience

Unmasking Safety's Myth of Individualism

'An exhilarating, urgent work . . . [Dark Laboratory] threads together ecological and human crises in an original, glittering web' Afua Hirsch From award-winning writer and theorist Tao Leigh Goffe, an urgent investigation into the intertwined history of colonialism and the climate crisis - and the lessons we can learn to fight for a better world. Our planet is on the precipice of ecological breakdown and climate despair is at an all-time high. But there are many communities who have survived beyond the environmental destruction wrought on them by colonialism - and they hold the solutions for climate repair. Using the Caribbean as a case study, Tao Leigh Goffe traces the history of the islands back to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, when the Caribbean became the subject of Western exploitation. Charting the ecological forces that have shaped the islands - from guano to coral reefs, sugarcane to mongooses - and learning from Black, Indigenous and Asian island histories, Goffe makes the argument that the extractivist capitalism that is the origin of the climate crisis is borne from colonial thinking - and that to fight one effectively is to fight both. Treating the Caribbean as both a warning and a guide, Dark Laboratory is a lyrical, vibrant and urgent investigation into the greatest threat facing humanity. 'Noble and necessary' New York Times 'A work of searching curiosity and intelligence' Ekow Eshun 'Necessary, compelling and utterly unique' Monique Roffey 'Relentlessly engaging . . . shows us new ways to live' The Atlantic

The Pledge

A stunning new work from universally acclaimed Daniyal Mueenuddin, whose debut short story collection won the Story Prize and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Book Prize, the National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2026: Town &amp; Country, Bustle, AARP, Kirkus Moving from Pakistan’s dazzling chaotic cities to its lawless feudal countryside, This Is Where the Serpent Lives powerfully evokes contemporary feudal Pakistan, following the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters whose lives are linked through violence and tragedy, triumph, and love. Orphaned as a little boy and fending for himself in the city streets, Yazid rises to a place of responsibility and respect in the Lahore household of Colonel Atar, a powerful industrialist and politician, only to find that position threatened by conflicting loyalties and misplaced trust. Born on Colonel Atar’s country estate to a poor gardener, Saqib is entrusted with the management of a pioneering business, but he overreaches and finds himself an outlaw, confronting the violence of the corrupt Punjab Police. The colonel’s son competes with his cherished brother for the love of a woman and discovers that her choice colors his life with unexpected darkness as well as light. In matters of power and money and the heart, Mueenuddin’s characters struggle to choose between paths that are moral and just and more worldly choices that allow them to survive in the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their culture. Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving, This Is Where the Serpent Lives is a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature.
