  Avoid the speed trap! Discover how changemakers can find lasting solutions to urgent social problems through a proven 5-step process for listening thoughtfully, building broad support, and exploring unconventional options. 
   
   
  Society celebrates leaders who promise fast, easy solutions to the world's problems-but quick fixes are just mirages that fade, leaving us with the same broken systems. The truth is, effective social change happens through slow, intentional actions. The author, a globally acclaimed social entrepreneur, offers a 5-step process for taking the slow lane to change-the lane that gets you to the right place faster: 
   
  -	Listening-Listen to build trust, which can change hearts and minds and allow for something new to emerge. 
  -	Holding the urgency-Accept that even in moments of crisis you can move only at the speed of trust instead of rushing into action. 
  -	Sharing the agency-Create an inclusive environment where everyone can lead. 
  -	Healing democracy-Build bridges that allow marginalized people to participate. 
  -	Maintaining curiosity-Be inspired by nontraditional sources. 
   
  Using dozens of examples-prison reform in England, urban development in Venezuela, healthcare in the Navajo Nation, early childhood education in New York, and many more-The Slow Lane shows how, by following the principles taught in this book, readers can create lasting change.

  Are you being ignored by your team? Are you trusted by those you lead? Is it a challenge to get organizational buy-in no matter what you try? You might be tempted to think the problem is everyone else, but a breakdown in communication is often linked to a leader’s behavior and approach. In short, it’s not the culture that’s the problem—it’s that nobody believes you. Business communications strategist Jenni Field knows what it’s like to help leaders get out of their own way. From working with creative entrepreneurs to C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies, she’s learned over the years that the number one challenge for most organizations is not a question of engagement but of credibility. When nobody believes you, almost everything feels like a wrestling match. When everybody believes you, almost anything becomes possible. This book will help you become the kind of leader people want to follow and be the credible leader your team needs.

  From the sawdust floors of Krugersdorp to the boardrooms of Johannesburg, Forged in Grit is the extraordinary true story of Barry Philip Lok, founder of William Tell — a company that rose from a small joinery in the 1970s to a publicly listed manufacturing empire. Told with unflinching honesty and remarkable detail, this memoir traces three decades of vision, innovation, and hard-won success — and the devastating collapse that followed. 
  It is a story of triumph and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, and one man's relentless pursuit of independence against the forces of big business and corporate power. 
  Lok takes readers deep into the heart of South African manufacturing, revealing the high-stakes world of chipboard plants, industrial innovation, and the brutal realities of business survival during the global financial crisis. Yet at its core, Forged in Grit is not about defeat — it is about endurance. 
  After losing everything, Lok found himself again — not in the boardroom, but among the hills of Izinduli and the quiet freedom of the bushveld. His story is one of resilience, reflection, and redemption. 
  "The empire was gone, but the man who built it was still alive — and that, I would learn, was enough to begin again." 
  BARRY LOK is the founder of William Tell, one of South Africa's leading wood-based panel manufacturers. A selfmade entrepreneur, Barry built his business from the ground up and led it through decades of growth and challenge. He lives in South Africa.
