At the societal level, our books advance social and economic justice, shared prosperity, sustainability, and new solutions to national and global issues.

✨ABOUT THE BOOK✨

In today’s breakneck world, we idolize hard-edged leadership, often at the cost of our humanity. Ever felt your leadership is driven more by fear than purpose? Ever drowned in relentless self-criticism? In Human First, Leader Second, dive into the revolutionary concept of self-compassion, debunking myths that it makes us weak or complacent.

Using the experiences of working with over 3,000 leaders and backed by rigorous research, this book is a clarion call to reclaim our humanity. Because to lead others effectively, we must first lead ourselves with kindness.

Whether you're an entrenched CEO or an emerging leader, learn how compassion towards oneself can catalyze groundbreaking leadership. Take a pause, pick this up, and discover the untapped power of leading from the heart.

Congratulations to Suzanne Wertheim and The Inclusive Language Field Guide for being longlisted for the getAbstract Learning Impact 2024 Book Award!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant.

In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you “cancelled.” People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended.

But it’s not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication—written or spoken—with anyone:

• Reflect reality
• Show respect
• Draw people in
• Incorporate other perspectives
• Prevent erasure
• Recognize pain points

This guide clarifies the challenges—and the solutions—to using "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband—because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that's just when Europeans found it.

Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

✨ABOUT THE BOOK✨
Discover the science-based secrets to reducing workplace stress, building unwavering resilience, and achieving success through the power of conversation.

Technology, isolation, and increasing demands for productivity are making the workplace a hotbed for stress—it's no surprise employees are abandoning traumatic workplaces in unprecedented numbers.

Ed Beltran, the CEO of a powerhouse leadership communication company, believes the antidote to stressed-out workplaces starts with conversation.

Beltran has developed a science-based model to reduce stress and help people build what he calls fierce resilience. By leveraging the power of conversations, individuals discover:

▶️their unique stressors
▶️master skills to neutralize stressors
▶️build unwavering resilience that elevates their emotional well-being

This is no ordinary self-help book. The transformative process of fierce resilience goes well beyond developing mere coping skills. It helps people take control of their emotional health, become more resilient, and build organizations with resilience as a core part of their DNA.

The comprehensive and foundational text for critically analyzing and applying actionable DEI techniques and strategies, written by one of LinkedIn’s most popular experts on DEI.

The importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace cannot be understated. But when half-baked and under-developed strategies are implemented, they often do more harm than good, leading the very constituents they aim to support to dismiss DEI entirely.

DEI Deconstructed analyzes how current methods and “best practices” leave marginalized people feeling frustrated and unconvinced of their leaders’ sincerity, and offers a roadmap that bridges the neatness of theory with the messiness of practice. Through embracing a pragmatic DEI approach drawing from cutting-edge research on organizational change, evidence-based practices, and incisive insights from a DEI strategist with experience working from the top-down and bottom-up alike, stakeholders at every level of an organization can become effective DEI changemakers. Nothing less than this is required to scale DEI from interpersonal teeth-pulling to true systemic change.

By utilizing an outcome-oriented understanding of DEI, along with a comprehensive foundation of actionable techniques, this no-nonsense guide will lay out the path for anyone with any background to becoming a more effective DEI practitioner, ally, and leader.

If you haven't preordered it yet, you can pick up your copy today from your favorite bookseller or directly from BK.

🔗 https://buff.ly/3MlKV9D

✨ ABOUT THE BOOK ✨

It’s time to throw out the old rules of influence and become the leader you’ve always wanted to be.

A new type of leader is emerging—one with a bold mission who empowers others through transparency and unwavering passion. Modern-day executive presence mandates levels of authenticity and honesty never before seen in the C-suite.

Personal branding and reputation management expert, Lida Citroën guides leaders through this new paradigm of executive presence and influence. Through inspiring examples, compelling stories, and practical exercises, Citroën helps leaders tap into their passion, connect authentically with others, and create space for inclusivity and community.

Greta Thunberg is a powerful example of a new paradigm leader. The Swedish teenager ‘s influence arguably exceeds that of most CEOs or political leaders. The youngest person to be named Time’s Person of the Year, she radically upended Swedish politics and world climate policy. Nothing about her conforms to the typical expectations of a leader’s executive presence—her power comes from her absolute honesty and genuine passion to make the world a better place.

By maintaining accessibility, leaders signal their willingness to listen and engage with employees at all levels. This approach encourages feedback, innovative ideas, and early problem identification. Open door policies break down hierarchical barriers, creating a more inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels valued and heard.

Escaping the Growth Curse Pub Day.mp4

Happy pub day to Escaping the Growth Curse by Yves Doz and Keeley Wilson! You can pick up your copy from your favorite book seller or direct from BK https://buff.ly/3VcYVXd 📚 ABOUT THE BOOK 📚 Sustainable company growth isn’t just a pipedream. This 3-part blueprint is your guide to avoiding the traps that cause growth to stall. As companies mature, their underlying growth naturally slows—this is called the ‘growth curse’. It’s a pervasive problem that plagues companies, CEOs, and board members alike. In order to safeguard a company’s future, a strategic form of governance in which the board plays a more active role on behalf of all stakeholders, must be activated. This book is comprised of 3 parts. First it shows companies how to identify the traditional traps that hinder growth. The second part provides companies with a blueprint for building their board, defining long-term strategy, and adjustments necessary to serve continued growth. The final part delves into the specific ways that the board and executives must collaborate in relation to strategic renewal. Reimagining the limits of growth and how companies are run as a consequence provides an escape from the ‘growth curse’ at last. #businessbook #businessbooks #bookstagram #businessleadership #businessmind #business101 #businessnews #businessgrowthstrategy #books

Happy Pub Day to Ludmila Praslova and The Canary Code! Pick up your copy today at your favorite bookstore or directly from BK >>> https://buff.ly/3UOgr5a 📚 “Exclusion robs people of opportunities, and it robs organizations of talent. In the long run, exclusionary systems are lose-lose.” How do we build win-win organizational systems? From a member of the Thinkers50 2024 Radar cohort of global management thinkers most likely to impact workplaces and the first person to have written for Harvard Business Review from an autistic perspective comes The Canary Code—a guide to win-win workplaces. Healthy systems that support talent most impacted by organizational ills—canaries in the coal mine—support everyone. Currently, despite their skills and work ethics, members of ADHD, autism, Tourette Syndrome, learning differences, and related communities face drastic barriers to hiring and advancement. In the U.S., 30-40% of neurodivergent people and 85% of autistic college graduates struggle with unemployment. Like canaries in the mine, they are impacted by issues that ultimately harm everyone. Lack of flexibility, transparency, and psychological safety excludes neurodivergent, disabled, and multiply marginalized talent—and leaves most employees stressed and disengaged. This unique book is a guide to change-making for CEOs, managers, HR leaders, and everyone who wants to contribute to building a more inclusive world. The authors’ over 25 years of experience spanning global diversity to neurodiversity leadership and extensive research on innovative practices of uniquely inclusive organizations around the world inform this books’: ▶️ Explicitly intersectional approach to (neuro)inclusion ▶️ Holistic understanding of humans and their social, cognitive, emotional, and physical differences. ▶️ Holistic approach to organizational talent practices, from creating job descriptions and recruiting to onboarding, performance management, and leadership

Pub Day Video - Thom Mayer (1).mp4

Happy pub day to Thom Mayer and Leadership Is Worthless...But Leading Is Priceless: What I Learned from 9/11, the NFL, and Ukraine Pick up your copy today from your favorite bookseller or direct from BK >>> https://buff.ly/3WsU866 📚 Dr. Thom Mayer knows first-hand that true leadership stems from our actions, not our positions, especially in times of crisis. Drawing on his experiences heading the 9/11 Pentagon rescue efforts, dealing with on-field emergencies in the NFL (he was at Damar Hamlin’s bedside after his injury), training mobile response medical teams in Ukraine, and more, Mayer covers such topics as: ▶️ Why trust is vital for innovation ▶️ The critical role of failure in devising new ways of leading ▶️ How questions fuel innovative action ▶️ Why every leader should have the title Chief Story Teller ▶️ The importance of distinguishing between data, knowledge, and wisdom Each chapter begins with a provocative and seemingly contradictory statement, like the book’s title, and includes stories, historical examples, and literary lessons selected to guide pragmatic and practical solutions. Leadership is worthless because it is something you say, a noun. But leading is priceless because it is a verb—it is the things we do that make a difference. From Pentagon generals to corporate CEOs to football players on the field to parents driving their kids to school, Mayer shows how leaders ensure that their actions will help others to succeed. . . . #books #bookstagram #book #booklover #reading #bookworm #bookstagrammer #read #bookish #booknerd #bookaddict #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #instabook #love #bookshelf #readersofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookaholic #libros #reader #bookphotography #b #booklove #author #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks
