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.

Women navigating a traditionally male-dominated technical sector too frequently feel invisible, frustrated, and undervalued in the workplace. Lauren Neal has been there, and she’s developed tried-and-tested approaches that male-dominated organisations can take to motivate and retain women. Because only a truly empowered, diverse workforce can drive the best business outcomes and innovations.

Inspired by real-life stories, Valued at Work gives you the tools to take control and drive real change without alienating any of the workforce!

Lauren Neal is an award-winning chartered engineer and chartered project professional in the energy industry. Having worked with men and women offshore, onshore and onsite on multimillion-dollar projects across the globe since 2005, she is a sought-after speaker and writer championing gender equity within STEM.

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.

Of course your team is good. It’s made up of good people. But imagine if it was GREAT… imagine if it had the EDGE…In a world of ambiguity and constant change, teams are the critical glue for solving complex problems, delivering in challenging environments and supporting each other to grow, develop and be engaged. Drawing from extensive research working across hundreds of teams, Alison Grieve and Jenni Miller have developed an integrated and full-team approach that allows any team to achieve high performance and sustain it. In this highly practical book, they translate their authoritative research and theory into five key Edge Dynamics, together with clear steps and tools that can be applied immediately. Take your team to the edge of higher performance, deeper engagement and greater wellbeing and beyond.

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.

Drawing on new research by Dr Lucy Ryan that fills a longstanding data gap, this book shows that assumptions about declining midlife motivation and energy just aren’t true for women and reveals how you can retain and develop this invaluable talent pool with a better understanding of their challenges and a few simple changes.

In Revolting Women, Dr Lucy Ryan shows how professional women have transformed our world and how women over 50 are deserving of your attention and ready to step up in your business.

Communication is crucial to success in life and business. However, it is not just big speeches that matter: it is also those critical, spur-of-the-moment situations for which we cannot prepare.

A prospective client asking unexpected questions during a sales pitch, a teacher singling you out for an answer during a class, a high-pressure meeting with senior executives at work, or even a heartwarming toast to deliver on the spot. All are fraught scenarios that might cause you to freeze up. The pandemic has only boosted this fear, by stripping the spontaneity from communication during lockdown, and then changing the communication landscape.

In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams – Stanford University lecturer and creator of the hit podcast, Think Fast, Talk Smart – provides a six-point methodology that will enable you to cut through the anxiety arising from these stressful, impromptu circumstances to create and deliver crisp, compelling and calm communication.

The disruptive moment in which we find ourselves living demands that we are our own agents of change. The Seven Games of Leadership is a guide for readers through seven key phases of personal and professional development, with the aim not of climbing a corporate ladder but of finding true and lasting satisfaction in what they do.

It encourages the realization that revolutionary change is not about destroying the current status quo, but about co-designing and rebuilding different paths for individuals to thrive, and go on to have a positive impact on society at large. The objective is to allow people to identify a career that is better aligned not only with their individual values, but with a broader purpose centred on a wider sense of humanity and sustainable prosperity for all.

The Seven Games of Leadership provides the tools and practical advice you need to reassess your priorities and take the steps necessary to refocus your life, your career and the issues of the world around you.

The adoption of remote, hybrid and flexible working is the new normal. But like the old normal, no one seems very happy. The solution requires a different type of leadership – one that unites, transforms and elevates performance. Leadership that creates glue.

With employee engagement, productivity and personal ties on the wane, leaders urgently need to refocus on harnessing relationships, making their organisations more humane, and finding new ways to engage and unleash talent. To do that, the single, most impactful thing leaders can do is to create and nurture an intangible, yet essential, factor called glue.

Glue sets out some ideas about glue: where to look for it, how to use it and, most importantly, how to cultivate glue amongst your most valuable people. It explores the approach of some unusual leaders, and of firms transformed through the ‘organisational advantage’ of smartly configuring and harnessing talent. Using stories from firms such as Alibaba, Apple, Barclays, Sky, Husqvarna Group, HSBC, Space X, Zopa and Richer Sounds, the book shows how leaders can shape the effectiveness of teams, reimagine the workplace, and reinvigorate their business through the talents, ideas and energy of their firm’s best people.

This book is for anyone who has a genuine interest in leading others with impact and wants to better unite, transform and elevate their business. Whatever your role, sector or seniority, this book sets out a distinctive vision for the firm and shows the profound impact you can make through creating and nurturing glue.

Most organizations today strive for goals such as employee diversity, inclusive leadership, and younger and fresher ideas. But how do we get there?

In her trailblazing Reverse Mentorship program, world-renowned executive coach and personal development advocate Patrice Gordon creates a safe and engaging culture by having senior leaders learn from junior employees. While typical mentoring programs arrange for a senior manager to teach the more junior employee, Reverse Mentoring is the opposite: it's all about a leader leaning into their vulnerability, forming a relationship with an underrepresented employee, and amplifying the voice of marginalized people within the company.

Reverse Mentoring offers various tips to make reverse mentorship work. Gordon explores the power of uncomfortable and awkward moments becoming key points of transformation when people have to pause, reflect and assess their past behaviors and current assumptions which are at odds with the topic at hand. She ultimately reveals how bringing more humanity into our organizations allows us to see one another and ourselves in a radically new light.

Many leaders are especially capable ‘left brain’ thinkers, a trait that has served them well in their careers, allowing them to build strong strategic, problem-solving and goal achievement track records. And yet the challenges facing today’s workplace – the rise of remote working, the evolution of AI, the need for more emotional connection, the drive for truly inclusive cultures – increasingly require different thinking using the ‘right brain’.

Executive Coach Yda Bouvier has distilled her 25 years’ experience helping leaders use their right brain into the inspiring new book, Leading with the Right Brain – the ultimate guide to activating right-brain thinking.

She breaks down the neuroscience behind how the left and right brain work, and provides case studies, techniques and tools that leaders, coaches, and employees alike can practice to engage their right brain, in order to see more, think differently and bring new insights, gain a better emotional understanding about ourselves and others and build stronger team connections – especially virtually – making remote working more fulfilling – activating the right brain is critical for our wellbeing.
