Understand how GenAI is different from other tech innovations and what you can do to harness its power.

This book argues that GenAI represents a genuine paradigm shift in technological innovation. The authors, the same team behind the popular podcast ‘Mike & Amit Talk Tech’, combine academic rigor with practical business insights, incorporating perspectives from diverse industry experts and their own hands-on experience teaching with, and using, GenAI. They maintain an optimistic yet balanced view, acknowledging both opportunities and risks.

The book's structure progresses logically through several key areas: fundamental explanations of GenAI and its distinctiveness from legacy AI systems; value propositions at individual, organizational, and societal levels; potential risks and challenges; practical implementation guidance for organizations through a digital and AI model; and future trajectories of the technology.

Notable is the authors' focus on near-term, actionable insights rather than speculative long-term scenarios. They emphasize empirical evidence and real-world applications, making the content accessible to a broad audience including executives, policymakers, researchers, and general readers interested in understanding GenAI's impact on individuals, businesses, and society.

Research suggests that up to 50% of people are introverts, and yet so much conventional leadership wisdom focuses on developing people’s ‘extrovert’ qualities in order to succeed at work.

But what if introversion isn’t something to “fix”, and being quiet could actually make you a better leader?

In a world where extroverted leaders often dominate the conversation, new book Quiet Leader offers a refreshing perspective. It empowers introverted individuals to embrace their unique leadership strengths such as humility, good listening, being reflective and staying calm.

Quiet Leader helps introverts in business understand the value they add and how to overcome the extrovert bias they might encounter. Rather than trying to change personalities, Quiet Leader helps introverts use their natural strengths to bring out the best in colleagues and team members and give everyone - extroverts included - a better understanding of how to become better leaders themselves.

Author Sissel Heiberg, a quiet leader herself, with close to 20 years of experience in large corporations, has witnessed that the loudest voices often dominate discussions and self-promote which can lead to misguided decisions and the selection of unsuitable leaders. This has fuelled her passion to raise awareness about organisational dynamics, the bias against introverts and to help organisations better utilise the right skills at the right time to enhance overall team performance.

Building on research and interviews, each chapter focuses on an introvert strength, explaining why it is a valuable leadership trait and includes a toolkit with tangible examples, strategies and ideas for using this strength in the workplace. Written for both introverts and extroverts, this book helps readers develop, build and use these skills at work.

Quiet Leader is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their leadership effectiveness while staying true to their authentic selves. Whether an experienced leader or just starting out, this book provides valuable insights and motivation to help readers succeed in leadership.

How can we create working environments where people can not only thrive, but also recover well, so they can sustainably continue to thrive again and again?

The key, says professor and former Olympic finalist Dr Susan Goldsworthy, is creating “secure bases” that provide a safe environment where each individual feels free to take risks without fear of failure or judgement. This trust-based foundation encourages exploration of potential and development of self-awareness, which helps individuals navigate obstacles more effectively, handle external pressures and foster a culture of confidence and innovation.

In her new book Care, Dare, Share: The Secure Base Coach, Rev. Dr Susan Goldsworthy draws up her experience of elite sport, neuroscience and 20 years working with businesses to create an accessible hands-on guide for leaders. It equips leaders with practical tools and strategies to cultivate sustainable, high-performance cultures where people feel supported by fostering conscious choice, constructive challenge and courageous communication.

Care, Dare, Share emphasises the importance of human connection as a critical driver for success. It champions empathy, understanding, and genuine collaboration, strengthening relationships in teams and organisations. These connections, built on mutual trust and shared purpose, enable teams to unlock their highest potential and work together more effectively, even in the face of adversity.

Care, Dare, Share offers a variety of exercises and reflective questions that helps coaches and leaders to apply secure base principles. It serves as a springboard for personal and professional growth, allowing leaders, coaches and HR teams to tailor the tools to meet the specific needs of their organisations.

Families are the most prevalent type of business owners in any global economy. They collectively control a huge proportion of the world’s wealth and play a significant role in shaping wider society.

However, succeeding across generations is difficult. Family dynamics and emotions add an extra layer of complexity to leadership and decision making, and only few family businesses continue to prosper beyond the first generation.

So why is it that some families are able to build a legacy that will last far into the future, while others fade away?

Now a new book, written by professors and world-leading experts in entrepreneurship and family business Alfredo De Massis and Emanuela Rondi, provides a practical roadmap to help families navigate these challenges and thrive across generations. The Family Business Book blends over 20 years of research with practical, real-world experience, to provide a unique combination of academic rigor and actionable insights.

Readers will discover how to understand the subtle nuances, complexities and key challenges of the journey undertaken by entrepreneurial families across generations. Through its entrepreneurial family galaxy concept, the book shows how to disentangle complicated and emotionally-charged family dynamics, to build a strategic plan that will ensure long-term success and a lasting legacy for the future.

The book is full of practical templates, worksheets, reflection questions and actionable strategies to guide readers in the development of a roadmap that allows their family business to prosper.

The Family Business Book takes a deep dive into the complex world of family business and is an essential read for family entrepreneurs, managers, professionals, business students and anyone interested in the dynamics of entrepreneurial families.

Remember when talking about money was taboo? Times have changed and in our times, with so many radical and disruptive changes to the economy, the role of the entrepreneur now embedded at the centre of so much societal and technological change, and digital currencies changing the way we think about exchange, money has become a vital, insistent of conversation for everyone. All of us acknowledge it matters desperately; yet so few of us really understand it.

The press and social media are awash with rags to riches stories, stories of kitchen table businesses that become multi-million-pound enterprises. Stories of teenagers and young adults investing in digital currencies from their bedrooms. On the flip side of these aspirational stories there is the reality of the everyday person who simply wants to understand what to and what not to do with their money. Should they save or invest, if they invest - what in, if they save - what for? Should they buy a home or rent, should they live for the moment or live for retirement. How does having credit provide more credit and would insurance be the best bet if all falls around you and what the hell is APR anyway?

Finance and money are topics we all wish we learnt at school but instead we find ourselves having to 'learn on the job', having to do deep investigations and 'trust' the advice from online experts. There must be a better way and a better place to go to for this insight and here we have it, courtesy of two authors who have known hardship and huge success - "What they should have taught you about money, finance and investment at school' to fill that void.
