Berrett-Koehler Publishers An independent book publisher and community dedicated to connecting people and ideas to create a world that works for all.

Berrett-Koehler is an independent publisher dedicated to an ambitious mission: Connecting People and Ideas to Create a World That Works for All. We believe that to truly create a better world, action is needed at all levels--individual, organizational, and societal. At the individual level, our books help people align their lives with their values and with their aspirations for a better world. At

the organizational level, our books promote progressive leadership and management practices, socially responsible approaches to business, and humane and effective organizations. At the societal level, our books advance social and economic justice, shared prosperity, sustainability, and new solutions to national and global issues. A major theme of our books is "Opening Up New Space." They challenge conventional thinking, introduce new ideas, and foster positive change. Their common quest is changing the underlying beliefs, mindsets, institutions, and structures that keep generating the same cycles of problems, no matter who our leaders are or what improvement programs we adopt. We strive to practice what we preach--to operate our publishing company in line with the ideas in our books. At the core of our approach is stewardship, which we define as a deep sense of responsibility to administer the company for the benefit of all of our "stakeholder" groups: authors, customers, employees, investors, service providers, and the communities and environment around us.

Congratulations to Amira Barger on winning the bronze award in the North American Book Awards for 2025! The Price of Nice explores how being "nice" at work can hold us back from authentic leadership and meaningful impact. Barger dismantles the pressure to please everyone and offers a framework for setting boundaries, speaking up, and leading with integrity instead of performative kindness.

This recognition celebrates a book that's helping leaders everywhere break free from exhausting politeness and step into genuine power.
