  You aspire to lead with greater impact. The problem is you're busy executing on today's demands. You know you have to carve out time from your day job to build your leadership skills, but it's easy to let immediate problems and old mindsets get in the way. Leadership and development expert Herminia Ibarra shows how managers and executives at all levels can step up to leadership by making small but crucial changes in their jobs, their networks, and themselves. In Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, she offers advice to help you redefine your job in order to make more strategic contributions; diversify your network so that you connect to, and learn from, a bigger range of stakeholders; and become more playful with your self-concept, allowing your familiar—and possibly outdated—leadership style to evolve. 
   
   
   
  Ibarra turns the usual "think first and then act" philosophy on its head by arguing that doing these three things will help you learn through action and will increase what she calls your outsight—the valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation. As opposed to insight, outsight will then help change the way you think as a leader: about what kind of work is important; how you should invest your time; why relationships matter in informing and supporting your leadership; and, ultimately, who you want to become.

  The Permanent Shift - How to...

  The book, "The Permanent Shift," argues that the failure of most weight loss attempts is not a failure of willpower, but a failure to understand and counteract the powerful biological and environmental forces that drive weight regain. Citing the sobering statistic that only an estimated 1 to 3 percent of individuals successfully maintain weight loss long-term [1], the book establishes that permanent success requires a fundamental, evidence-based shift in lifestyle, not a temporary diet. 
  The core challenge is the Biological Battleground, where the body actively fights back against weight loss. This involves metabolic adaptation (a persistent reduction in Resting Metabolic Rate) and hormonal counter-regulation (low leptin and high ghrelin levels that drive chronic hunger), which can persist for a year or more [6]. Overcoming this requires a multi-pronged strategy built on three pillars: 
  1. Sustainable Dieting: Success hinges on a sustained caloric deficit (500-750 kcal/day for safe loss) and adherence, as no single named diet is superior [7]. The focus shifts to food quality, prioritizing low-energy-density foods (high in fiber and water) and high protein to maximize satiety and counteract hormonal hunger signals. 
  2. Permanent Physical Activity: Exercise is the engine of maintenance. To offset metabolic slowdown and prevent regain, a high volume of activity is non-negotiable, with successful maintainers reporting 60 or more minutes of daily exercise [4]. Resistance training is crucial to preserve metabolically active muscle mass, directly fighting the drop in RMR [5]. 
  3. Behavioral Mastery: The final pillar involves mastering the mind and environment. This includes meticulous self-monitoring (daily food and weight tracking) and environmental restructuring (making healthy choices the default). Furthermore, the book details the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and conquer emotional eating triggers [11].

  Together, in spaces of grace, we can achieve results that go beyond the bottom line . . . and go after the human spirit.  
  No one is born a great leader. It takes time and experience and intentional work. A leader becomes great when they are put in hundreds of challenging situations and are forced to figure out the best course of action, not only for their team and the company as a whole but for the environments they influence. The world is hungry for more leaders who will do the right thing, model a positive response to conflict, and choose the path of fairness and accountability. 
  Grace Space is about acknowledging the “spaces within and spaces between us” to give honor and offer courteous goodwill as we commit to being fair and honest. I offer seven practices around Grace Space that provide the tools we need to get there. As leaders, it’s about getting our hearts right so we can serve those we lead in ways that call out personal potential while also achieving high results.

  The Good Mother Myth -...

  Nancy Reddy

  Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child.This timely and thought-provoking audiobook will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once).  Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
