INTRODUCING 25 REAL-LIFE STORIES THAT REVEAL THE RULES FOR WORKING SUCCESSFULLY ACROSS CULTURES
There is no excuse for cultural ignorance in the 21st century. The greatest factor affecting the success or failure of a global business is understanding the cultural differences that lie hidden, like minefields, in day-to-day work. Recognize and manage these cultural differences, and you accelerate your success; ignore them and they will undermine your global performance.

Business Beyond Borders explains culture through the real-life stories of the author, resonating and bringing the cultural challenges inherent in global work to life. From negotiating with Bedouins in the Libyan Sahara, to managing a team of Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro, from out-running an earthquake during a keynote presentation in Mexico City, to losing a government “handler” in Beijing, each of the stories illustrates a critical cultural issue that global managers need to understand today.

With a summary of the “golden global rules” that everyone working in the global 21st century needs to know, Business Beyond Borders is a celebration of what makes all of us around the world-all so different- simultaneously all the same.

‘A compelling case for a new, more holistic form of leadership.’ Andrew Winston, Thinkers50

The leaders of today cannot be the leaders of tomorrow.

The Leadership We Need offers a bold, urgent blueprint for a new era of leadership – one that’s tough enough to protect our future, and wise enough to lead with purpose, not ego. Drawing from over a decade of leadership experience and cutting-edge research, Maria Brinck calls out the dominant, masculine monopoly on leadership that has shaped society for millennia – and how it’s failing us in today’s poly-crisis reality.

Brinck argues that the hard way is, in fact, the right way: where we collaborate instead of compete, engage people instead of control them, and live alongside nature rather than dominate it.

We need leadership that serves people and planet.

Through powerful examples of collaborative and service-driven leaders – many of them women – and practical tools including a 10-step roadmap and self-assessments, this book provides a positive path forward for leaders in business, government, and society.

The best of humanity is still ahead. Follow this courageous call to action and create a leadership culture that’s inclusive, balanced, and capable of shaping a future we can all thrive in.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“A CRASH COURSE IN HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE CEO.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential and host of the podcast Re:Thinking

From leading global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company and the minds behind the New York Times bestseller CEO Excellence comes a compact, insight-packed guide to navigating the distinct phases of leadership that every CEO must pass through on their way to mastery.

In the high-stakes world of corporate leadership, becoming a Fortune 500 CEO is an Everest-like ascent – with only the savviest managing to avoid falling off the mountain. In A CEO for All Seasons you’ll find an essential climbing route that will take you through every stage. Featured in this tip-dense guide is wisdom from some of the world’s most iconic leaders, including Dell Technologies’ Michael Dell, Merck’s Ken Frazier, Nasdaq’s Adena Friedman, Morgan Stanley’s James Gorman, Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman, ASML’s Peter Wennink, and Chevron’s Mike Wirth.

Unique in applying a number of sophisticated metrics to isolate the world’s top 200 CEOs, reduce them to a representative sample, and then reap their wisdom, the McKinsey team, in A CEO for All Seasons, spotlights the specific stage-based hurdles that CEOs face. From preparing for the role to starting strong to sustaining momentum to ensuring a lasting legacy, the book leaves no segment of the journey unmapped. Along the way, it offers proven strategies for maintaining forward progress and, crucially, alerts readers to common blind spots that can sabotage success, as revealed by a detailed survey of thousands of executives.

Whether you’re an aspiring leader or a new-to-the-job CEO – or even a board member wanting to better steward your company’s performance – this is the compact, hands-on guide you’ve needed. Its compendium of pressure-tested tips is a must-have game changer for leaders at all levels.

It doesn’t matter who you are or what business you’re in, you are never far from a crisis.

Edward Segal has profiled over 700 crises in his popular column on Forbes.com since 2020, from those affecting businesses and organizations to global celebrities and royalty. Here he builds on that bank of real-life stories, developing the lessons and adding new unseen material, to reveal how global organizations and high-profile individuals have prevented, managed, and recovered from a variety of crisis situations.

According to The Conference Board’s C-Suite Outlook 2023, less than half of surveyed corporate executives around the world said they were ready for a pandemic or global health crisis; only 41% are prepared for cybersecurity crises; and only 39% have planned for financial instability. And these are just the tip of the iceberg of crisis triggers with others including recession, extreme climate events, terrorism, lawsuits, accidents, and allegations of sexual abuse.

In The Crisis Casebook, Edward Segal expertly recounts the good, the bad, and the ugly ways companies and people have managed a variety of crisis situations showing you how to avoid crisis management mistakes that could damage your company’s reputation, profits, and future – and your career.

Financial Times Best Book of the Year in Economics

‘A very timely book on the new, fractured world’***** The Sunday Times

‘The best book on the future of the global economy’***** The International Economy

The tectonic plates of the global order are shifting, creating new pressures that will strain long-standing financial structures.

But where will the world’s new economic fault lines emerge? And how disruptive will they be?

In a clear and far-reaching reckoning, The Fractured Age lays bare the threats and opportunities that will shape the world economy over the coming decade. It charts the emergence of geopolitical blocs in a world undergoing profound change – blocs whose relative size and economic diversity will be pivotal in reordering everything from goods trade and investment flows to technology transfers and access to critical minerals.

As the world enters another period of seismic upheaval and a new global order emerges, understanding which economies will benefit, and which will bear the costs, will be critical for effective decision-making throughout boardrooms and the halls of government.

As Chief Economist of one of the world’s leading providers of independent macroeconomic and market research, Neil Shearing lays out a stark vision of the peaks and rifts that will unfold, and how they will fundamentally reshape the global economy in this fractured age.

As seen on Bloomberg, BBC News, CNN, Channel 4 News and in The Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian

Aspiring leaders are hungry to learn all that they can about how to be a more effective leader. And certainly there are tools and best practices young leaders should know and add to their toolkit.

But – as Steve Mostyn, one of the world’s leading innovators in executive leadership, has learned over the past decades of teaching this cohort – two equally useful activities for the aspiring leader are reflection and experimentation.

In his new book WHY GREAT LEADERS ASK GREAT QUESTIONS, Mostyn has crafted an elegant collection of the seven provocative questions aspiring leaders should ask themselves in order to spur that reflection and experimentation. These are some of the most important questions Mostyn poses to each cohort of the Oxford Executive Leadership program’s students, honed by the past answers and engagement of thousands of students.

The book is simple in conception, profound in execution. In seven accessible chapters, with exercises, research, and examples, the reader will engage with these questions:
How do I reflect?
How do I spend my time?
Where does my power come from?
How do I grow my network?
How do I make change happen around here?
How do I manage my energy?
How do I grow more leaders?

Inspired in part by Mostyn’s work on the Oxford Executive Leadership Programme – an accelerated international leadership development program with over 5,000 alumni around the world – and in part by his numerous workshop sessions where he challenges and supports leaders through his unique questions, the premise of the book is well-tested with aspiring and practicing leaders and is proven to spark both reflection and growth.

These seven questions are drawn from the author’s deep experience with the needs of rising young executives. Readers will engage with provocative exercises, highly accessible overviews of applicable research, and examples from fellow mid-career executives.

‘No one has taught me more about the complexities and mysteries of human decision-making’ Malcolm Gladwell

‘Gary Klein is a living example of how useful applied psychology can be when it is done well’ Daniel Kahneman

Insight is everything. At its most profound, it can change the world. At its simplest, it can solve everyday problems. It can be used to build businesses, solve crimes, progress science and make many aspects of our lives quicker, easier, bigger or better.

Yet remarkably we often unwittingly build barriers to seeing what is in front of us. Both as individuals and organisations we can hold on to flawed beliefs and conform to established processes that can interfere with our perceptions. Having clear insight can transform the way in which we understand things, the decisions we make and the actions we take.

In this groundbreaking study, renowned cognitive psychologist Gary Klein uses an eclectic miscellany of real-life stories to bring to life the process of insight. He demonstrates the five key strategies for spotting connections and contractions to ensure you too can see what others don’t.

Praise for 100 THINGS SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DO
‘Inside these pages you’ll find a powerful reminder of the many ways you can make your life – and other people’s lives – more successful. It will help you identify what success means to you and give you the building blocks for making that success a reality. This is your chance to overcome whatever obstacles are stopping you. Read it, act on it and experience the difference’ Marshall Goldsmith Ph.D., bestselling author of TRIGGERS

The familiar concept of work-life balance endures, but does anyone actually boast of having a healthy ratio of work and personal time? Very few do, because our model for work/life leads to burn out – it asks individuals to chase a dream where work and life are both equal and distinct, where the demands of one do not contradict the demands of another. Simply giving 100% to the twin pillars of your life will not give you the work/life balance you crave. The good news is, there’s a much more intelligent, holistic and effective way to live your life.

Life has never fit into tidy little boxes. Family and social needs don’t stop between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and work pressures bleed into the hours between 5:01 p.m. and 8:59 a.m. all the time. And since the pandemic, the lines have become even more blurred, with remote workers bearing the brunt of the impact. It’s time to embrace new wellness strategies, This book will show how taking a holistic and integrative approach to the complex demands of life and work will transform your happiness and producitivity.

The book will contain three parts.
· Part I will focus on strategies to thrive as an individual; specifically, maintaining a healthy mind and body by prioritizing oneself. You’ll learn how to integrate healthy lifestyle habits into and throughout your workday, so that taking care of yourself won’t compete with productivity but will support it.
· Part II will focus on thriving at work. You’ll learn about checkpoints and how to use these moments to wake up and realign your well-being with your personal mission. You’ll learn how to create healthy boundaries, work through the common challenges that remote workers face and provide approachable solutions that you can immediately start integrating into your work life. Team leaders will gain key insights for managing remote and flexible teams so that they can create the conditions for success.
· Part III is about thriving in relationships. While community and connection are vital to well-being, many workers struggle to form and maintain these bonds. This book will explain why connection is vital, and show how to encourage it.
By identifying your personal mission and integrating the wellness strategies provided in TheWork/Life Tango, you’ll be able to show up 100% in all aspects of life-in your career, for your family and friends, and for yourself.
