BOOM! - Leadership that Breaks...

John "Dragon" Teichert

A modern organization can’t survive without innovation.
It happens all the time: Vibrant and cutting-edge companies get comfortable — and complacent. They lose touch with their innovative roots. Their dynamic culture slips away. Bureaucracy takes over. Progress slows. Then stops.
It’s leadership’s job to set things back on course.
Unfortunately, most leaders don’t know how. They’ve been taught outdated strategies. Strategies that don’t move the needle. Strategies that don’t work in this dynamic day and age.
So, despite everyone’s best intentions, nothing changes.
The solution: an innovation playbook for the modern era.
When Brigadier General John “Dragon” Teichert took command of Edwards Air Force Base in 2018, it was choked by bureaucracy and complacency.
He applied a unique and unorthodox strategy to launch an innovation movement and unleash the individual genius of the base’s 11,000 Airmen.
The result? Edwards became the most innovative Air Force Base on the planet, dwarfing the innovation activity of the rest of the Air Force combined.
In this book, he reveals exactly how he did it.
Written by a leader for leaders, BOOM! is jam-packed with fascinating aviation analogies, little-known stories of Air Force hero Chuck Yeager, intriguing tales from the highest visibility base on the planet, and stories of internationally impactful activities in war-torn Iraq.
BOOM! reveals an innovation roadmap that transcends jet planes and rockets – a process that can work for any leader, at any level, in any industry, who wants to move their mission forward and deliver outstanding results.

Good Work - Transform your work...

Dr. Kathryn Page

What if work could be the solution to wellbeing rather than the problem? 
 
 
We’re facing an epidemic of burnout, loneliness and quiet despair at work — not because people are weak, but because our systems are stretched and outdated. Despite more wellness apps and flexibility policies than ever, we’ve never felt more disconnected from meaning, purpose and each other. 
 
Good Work argues that real change won’t come from quick fixes, motivational quotes or coping strategies. It comes from reimagining the way we work — together. Drawing on decades of psychological research and stories from frontline teams to global organisations, organisational psychologist Dr Kat Page reveals a bold new blueprint for creating work that protects, fuels and connects people.  
 
Learn how to: 
 
Strengthen your personal wellbeing while contributing to a healthier shared culture 
 
Build connected, high performing teams where people speak honestly, think boldly and thrive as highly connected communities 
 
Create momentum for change, even when you don’t hold the power 
 
Navigate workplace stress while maintaining performance, connection and career momentum 
 
 
Whether you're leading others, shaping culture or redesigning your own relationship with work, Good Work is a call to action — an invitation to influence systems, practices and norms to make good work the rule, not the exception. Not just for yourself, but for all of us.
