A Transformation Lens: The Savvy Business Leader's Approach To Transformational Change

Author:

Gary Burke Mr

How is your book helping others?

Companies spend fortunes transforming their businesses, changing what and how they do things: developing and improving products and services, introducing new technology and ways of working, reducing costs, enhancing productivity and customer satisfaction. But it’s all too common for transformation programmes to fail to deliver expected outcomes and benefits, to the detriment of the business, staff, investors and, most importantly, customers. The leadership team is ultimately accountable for the success of any transformation but often has little experience of transformational change, so can easily underestimate what's really involved and the impact on the business – so approach it in the wrong way – and months later need a board meeting to discuss the millions spent and how to get the programme back on track! A Transformation Lens enables business leaders to better understand transformational change, make better informed decisions and approach it in the right way, to everyone’s benefit.

The Resilience Plan: A Strategic Approach to Optimizing Your Work Performance and Mental Health

Book Cover Upload
Author:

Marie-Helene Pelletier PhD

How is your book helping others?

Leaders and business professionals handle grueling hours and exceed high expectations. They are undaunted by challenges and embrace opportunities for growth. They assume they are resilient.

But given enough demands, anyone can burn out. This makes logical sense, yet you likely still think it could never be you. You are fabulous and at risk of burning out.

Resilience is not an innate character trait. Whether you’re in a leadership role or working as part of a team, you need to implement strategies that build and nurture resilience. You need a resilience plan.

I draw on experience from my clinical practice and extensive knowledge in therapeutics and business practices to explore how resilience is the best defense against burnout and how everyone can build it in themselves―not with a one-size-fits-all plan but with strategies to help you create a custom plan.

Jack Skeels

How is your book helping others?

Managing less can be the key to managing better. An agile, "Unmanaged" style of managing boosts everything from project success rates to organizational productivity, profitability, and happiness.

Unmanaged provides both the rationale and several battle-tested methods for implementing better managment, including over ten practical new models of managing, ranging from better ways to kick off and scope projects, boost team skills growth, align better with stakeholders and clients, and ensure worker and team productivity.

The project-driven work that modern teams perform (complex, unique, innovative, or complex projects) represents the future of human work as AI and other forms of automation displace simpler factory and service style workers. The future of knowledge work is project work, and the future of managing project work is "Unmanaged."
