"Before her husband's sudden death, Regina Lawless was at the height of her corporate career as head of diversity, equity, and inclusion at Instagram and seemingly had it all. Then tragedy struck, forcing her to rediscover who she truly was inside and what she wanted moving forward. On her journey to live and thrive again after loss, Regina realized that the outdated rules for success--to grind incessantly and sacrifice yourself to get ahead--weren't serving her or any women, especially Black women and women of color. So Regina wrote this book to encourage people, particularly high-achieving women, to investigate their own states of happiness and fulfillment and to build more meaningful lives, both personally and in the workplace."--Provided by publisher.

Her learnings will challenge you to reflect on your own leadership and organization, reframe the traditional corporate mindset and accelerate your business by putting people first.

"A compact, insightful, and practical guide for leaders and managers to flourish in our coming Exponential Age"-Azeem Azhar, founder, Exponential ViewIn 1798, the influential cleric, scholar, and economist Thomas Malthus predicted that the world would soon run out of food, as linear food production growth would be unable to feed the exponentially growing population. Fast forward 200 years, and the world's population has grown almost 10 times, and we are closer to colonizing Mars than we ever will be to running out of food.The reason? Innovation.Innovation driven by mass digitization and the convergence of exponentially growing technologies. We know that exponential laws often follow predictable patterns, and this allows us to predict when futuristic applications will become possible and economically feasible.In From Malthus to Mars, Nicolai Chen Nielsen and Lars Tvede outline the wild future that we are speeding into. Wild, among other things, in terms of anti-ageing, compact farming, robotics, radically new energy solutions, and a fast, fluid, and flexible world of work. The authors map concrete forecasts for when upcoming technologies will break through and change our world, and they paint a picture of what the future in the coming years will look like.We will learn that while the future is destined to bring a multitude of new opportunities and enhanced abundance, it will also bring increased demands for us as individuals and as organizations. To equip us to thrive in the future, Nielsen and Tvede outline eight key mindsets. These mindsets will help us navigate future trends, reach our most desired future, and give us the ability, as we understand trends, to apply exponentiality and make decisions under uncertainty. The authors also present ten shifts that winning organizations of the future must consider in order to transform themselves and their industries, again and again.Between them, Nielsen and Tvede have founded/co-founded 13 companies, advised more than 30 Fortune 500 companies, developed thousands of leaders, and published 20 books.

Think. Act. Lead.It seems simple enough. But understanding your desired impact and how it fits into a larger picture, connecting your work to others and finding new collaborators, and bringing those collaborators together and moving them in a unified direction is never easy. Governments, businesses, and nonprofits all have unique approaches and ideas that many of us learn through our work. Yet, we rarely consider the skills needed to create and maintain the partnerships between them. Most of us learn those skills through trial, error, and often, failure. Worse, we typically stay in our self-reinforcing silos, sharing perspectives and frustrations with like-minded people, limiting our vision of what our work can become. By partnering with other sectors, we combine and adapt approaches to solve complex problems, and leaders in any industry can create large-scale change.Cleveland Justis and Daniel Student share a road map for effective partnerships that increase impact and profitability. Using real-life examples and practice exercises, the authors teach how to acquire and use skills to solve complex problems and propel your organization forward by combining a multitude of perspectives, split into three sections:¿Think Like a System¿Act Like a Network¿Lead Like a MovementIt's time to get out of our silos. Don't lead alone.
