It also reveals what signals for change leaders should be watching out for so they don’t find themselves left behind in the competition.

With topical discussions and analysis on the impact of greenhushing, new ESG reporting measures, and how organisational structures can limit your progress, it’s the perfect toolkit for leaders looking to revolutionise their business in a way that’s good for their profits, people, and the environment.

Advanced praise for the book

Practical, actionable, and written to deliver results. Binder and Braun’s how-to guide for business leaders looking to embrace sustainable business models and a regenerative mindset is both timely and valuable.” Paul Polman, business leader, campaigner, and co-author of Net Positive

“The circular business models described in this book have been a source of inspiration for us on our circularity journey. As one of the major topics of the future, circularity certainly needs to be on every business leader’s agenda.” Judith Wiese, Managing Board Member of Siemens AG and Chief People and Sustainability Office

The 9-5 routine has become more complicated for business leaders, with 74% saying that the number of decisions they make every day has risen over the past five years. Leaders are having to rely on their instincts to cope with the increased pressure and workload. But by running on automatic, we risk bringing unreliable traits and subconscious biases to the surface.

Written by leadership expert Nik Kinley and organisational psychologist Shlomo Ben-Hur, this new book draws upon decades of research and proven neurological and psychological mechanisms to show how our past experiences shape our adult tendencies and why early experiences of stress, conflict and friendship can create blind spots for our leadership patterns.

From how we act in meetings and manage conflict to whether we respect our boss and can handle change, our childhood plays a pivotal part in how we lead our teams and organisations when under pressure. By understanding these triggers and traits, managers can be more aware of when they’re running on automatic and ensure their actions are intentional, relevant, and effective.

Businesses face unprecedented challenges with technology, supply chain issues, economic uncertainty, and political instability. To avoid being overwhelmed by the chaos and outmanoeuvred by their competitors, leaders must learn how to turn disruption into opportunity and instil strategic thinking into their teams, cultures, and management styles.

Every leader can learn to be a stronger strategic thinker. From mental agility and pattern recognition to visioning and political savvy, this book digs deep into the six disciplines of strategic thinking that separate good and great leaders, and offers the tools required to build this skill into a competitive edge in a VUCA environment.

A comprehensive, practical, and actionable guide to strategic thinking, this essential new book offers a wealth of insights and tools for leaders at all levels to help them win the game of business – strategically.

Drawing upon thirty-five years of experience in team development, James Scouller, author of new book series HOW TO BUILD WINNING TEAMS AGAIN AND AGAIN offers breakthrough answers on team success. Using easy-to read, concise language, he sets out the psychological keys, action principals and road map to building outstanding teams.

This unique book series is broken into three practical handbooks:

• Book One explains what you need to KNOW about teams.

• Book Two explains what you need to DO in building and sustaining teams.

Dr Audrey Tang offers a step change in how leaders and organisations should approach wellbeing in their organisations. She recommends techniques and strategies to banish burnout and create a culture of psychological safety and inclusion to keep teams feeling valued, motivated and energised. With lots of exercises to practise regularly, this book will help you make lasting positive, transformational change.

The Leader’s Guide to Wellbeing completes Dr Tang’s ‘head–heart–gut’ series of books (see also The Leader’s Guide to Mindfulness and The Leader’s Guide to Resilience) and supports wellbeing as a core function of leadership. It offers the leader – and their teams – a clear understanding of what wellbeing is, as well as practical ways to create a culture of wellbeing within the organisation and the individual.

Standing still in today's business environment is not an option if you are to survive and thrive. But navigating your way through change can be complex, challenging and daunting. Business Morphology is here to help break down this complexity.

No matter what sector you're in or what challenges your organisation is facing, authors and business transformation experts Julie Nerney and Geoff Robins say there are five fundamental levers that you can apply to effect real change: modifying your operating model, product or service diversification, mergers or acquisitions, people, and culture.

For each of the levers, Nerney and Robins draw on their extensive experience leading major transformation programmes in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors to design Morphology Maps – an easy-to-use, visual planning tool to help leaders contextualise their current situation and reach their transformation goals.

Political unrest, economic instability, rapidly developing technologies and the climate crisis are just some of the unprecedented challenges the world is facing today. Businesses across all sectors face pressures to change, innovate and adapt quickly – and do more with less – yet we all know 70% of all change initiatives fail, so why is nothing actually changing? Why are businesses not only wasting budget, but also missing opportunities to make a positive impact on society.

So, what is the secret behind the few change initiatives that do successfully build and harness a ‘whatever it takes’ culture in a company, and actually do business better?

New book, Every Team Actually Doing Business Better, reveals the inside stories of how organisations around the world have succeeded (and failed) in using purpose to actually make a meaningful difference. Authors Atif Sheikh and Darren Ashby are co-founders of leading purpose, culture and change consultancy, businessfourzero, and have seen and shared the frustrations over the pace and nature of change in businesses. They created a step-by-step guide by drawing upon exclusive real-life case studies of how organisations including Tesco, EA, TSB, IHG and Aviva were able to actually unlock a new level of commercial performance whilst simultaneously delivering massive positive societal impact.

At a time when trust in leaders and big corporations is low, the book provides a blueprint for building human-centred, purpose-driven businesses. It demonstrates how the values of each individual can be harnessed to create organisations where every single team is ready, willing and able to run through any wall to deliver your purpose and strategy.

A business on a mission is a truly remarkable thing, and the commercial and societal gains can be enormous – so why do so few companies get anywhere near that level?

The golden thread between Strategy, Culture and Purpose

From writing the perfect purpose statement to creating a strategy that puts your purpose to action, strengthening your team’s mission-focus to nurturing their collective agency, this book is packed with practical tips, tools and exercises to achieve impactful and sustainable change for success.

Every Team Actually Doing Business Better is a book for C-level leaders who want their businesses to change faster than the world around them. It is an invaluable guide for CEOs, CPOs, entrepreneurs, HR and L&D leaders alike to align their strategy, culture and purpose to create faster, deeper and lasting transformation.

This is a book about the highest levels of presence and peak performance leadership. It is, above all, a call to break from the chronically imbalanced ways of thinking and functioning that have become the norm in so many corporate cultures, where doing, eclipses being, and hyper-rational, analytical thinking relegates feeling, sensing, intuiting and the transpersonal to the outer fringes of life. To face the scope and threats of 21st-century challenges, today’s leaders must possess potent powers for logic, reason, discernment and strategic forecasting. Yet, they must also be empathic and therefore embodied, grounded and intuitive.

Today's leaders must be:

• Skilled in mindfulness and deep listening
• Present and receptive to higher levels of insight and innovation
• Able to inspire authentic engagement and collaboration
• Possess a clear and wholehearted sense of service, mission and purpose

Such a leader is the Leader as Healer.

Professional women over 50 are faced with a triple-whammy of discrimination: they are not male, young, or linear in their career paths. As a result, they are leaving corporate life and taking their career into their own hands. And with it, they take their abundant wisdom, energy and ambition.
