After her first two weeks observing the problems at DecisionTech, Kathryn Petersen, its new CEO, had more than a few moments when she wondered if she should have taken the job. But Kathryn knew there was little chance she would have turned it down. After all, retirement had made her antsy, and nothing excited her more than a challenge. What she could not have known when she accepted the job, however, was just how dysfunctional her team was, and how team members would challenge her in ways that no one ever had before.

When Richard Rumelt's Good Strategy/Bad Strategy was published in 2011, it immediately struck a chord, calling out as bad strategy the mish-mash of pop culture, motivational slogans and business buzz speak so often and misleadingly masquerading as the real thing.

Since then, his original and pragmatic ideas have won fans around the world and continue to help readers to recognise and avoid the elements of bad strategy and adopt good, action-oriented strategies that honestly acknowledge the challenges being faced and offer straightforward approaches to overcoming them. Strategy should not be equated with ambition, leadership, vision or planning; rather, it is coherent action backed by an argument.

A revised and updated edition of the acclaimed Wall Street Journal bestseller that explores why some leaders drain capability and intelligence from their teams while others amplify it to produce better results.

We’ve all had experience with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drains intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always needs to be the smartest person in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment.

No one can do it for you, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Everyone benefits from a positive influence in their lives. If you think about the various types of leaders you’ve encountered—parents, teachers, coaches, bosses—you can probably pinpoint one, perhaps more than one, leader who provided the support, the skills, or the inspiration that helped you become your best self. 

Inclusive Leadership has been officially shortlisted in the 'Management Futures' category for the 2018 Management Book of the Year prize which has just been announced by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the British Library. 

The most successful organisations are those with the most diverse and engaged workforces. Studies show an 80% improvement in business performance among those with high diversity levels. When people feel included and able to reach their full potential, they are more engaged, more productive and often more creative. 

Inclusive Leadership will help you drive culture change using organisational development principles. It takes you through the key components of leading change throughout the employee lifecycle, your supply chain, and through product development. Crucially, it will help you make a genuine impact on your business, through your people, both now and in the future.

CULTURE RULES, AND CULTURE HAS RULES.

While everyone is talking about corporate culture and its importance for business success, the core principles and drivers that build, shape and sustain corporate culture are poorly understood.

Corporate culture is a business system, and like any critical business system, is composed of multiple drivers, all of which interact to influence “how things work around here” and ultimately, business results.

The Art & Science of Facilitation: How to Lead Effective Collaboration with Agile Teams explores what it truly means to guide groups towards productive and meaningful outcomes.

Have you ever found yourself in a team that feels stuck in repetition, unsure how to move forward? Or been present in a highly charged group discussion where tensions run high and you were uncertain how to intervene effectively?

Anyone responsible for leading teams of any size will likely, at some point, step into the role of facilitator. However, facilitation goes far beyond using simple tools such as sticky notes, dot voting, or whiteboards. While these techniques can support collaboration, they are only part of a much broader skill set required to guide teams effectively.

This book delves into the deeper principles behind facilitation, particularly within agile environments, and explores how facilitators can help teams think more clearly, communicate more effectively, and achieve better results together.

Leaders, managers and coaches are often expected to help people extend their capabilities, yet this can be difficult to achieve in practice.

Leadership coach Marcia Reynolds explains that when handled poorly, challenging conversations tend to trigger resistance rather than development. In Conversations in the Discomfort Zone, she presents a practical framework for handling these moments more effectively, enabling people to reconsider their thinking and arrive at their own conclusions.

Reynolds shows how leaders can choose the right timing and setting for difficult discussions, and how to create a sense of psychological safety that builds trust and openness. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and learning, she demonstrates how to ask questions that bypass defensive reactions and habitual thinking patterns.

Rather than being instructed what to change, individuals are guided to recognise their own gaps, reflect more deeply, and identify better ways forward. Supported by real-world examples and case studies, the book illustrates how these approaches can lead to meaningful insight and sustained behavioural change.

While conversations in uncomfortable territory will never be easy, Reynolds provides the tools to make them productive, resulting in stronger engagement, better solutions, and lasting improvement in performance.

Successful organizational transformation requires more than changing processes, structures, or strategies - it requires changing the way people think, feel, and behave. Because of this, leading change is often one of the greatest challenges organizations face.

In The Heart of Change, leadership experts John Kotter and Dan Cohen demonstrate that lasting change begins by connecting with people's emotions rather than relying solely on facts and analysis. Serving as a companion to Kotter's bestselling Leading Change, this book explains how inspiring people emotionally creates the motivation needed to embrace new behaviors and achieve meaningful results.

Building on Kotter's proven eight-step framework for change, the authors use engaging real-world stories to illustrate how leaders and teams overcome resistance, build commitment, and successfully navigate large-scale transformation. They introduce the powerful "see-feel-change" approach, showing that people are far more likely to support change when they experience its impact emotionally. Packed with practical insights and examples, The Heart of Change is an essential resource for leaders seeking to create lasting organizational success in an ever-changing world.

Refreshingly clear and eminently practical, The Heart of Change is required reading for anyone facing the challenges inherent in leading change.
