  Leadership is often talked about—but rarely understood. 
  Extreme Leadership cuts through the jargon and theory to show what real leadership looks like under pressure. With clarity, edge, and real-world insight, Charles Patton delivers a direct, no-nonsense guide for those who want to lead—and get results. 
  Leadership isn't about titles, org charts, or abstract models. It's about stepping up when it counts, seeing what others miss, and taking action when others hesitate. Drawing from bold examples and practical lessons, this book explores how extreme leaders think, respond, and succeed—even in chaotic, high-stakes environments. 
  Written as a supplement to graduate-level courses but accessible to anyone with a stake in leading or following, this book challenges the idea that leadership is soft, outdated, or optional. It's not. It's essential. 
  If you want the things great people have, you must do the things great leaders do. This book shows you how.

  Worn Out - How Our Clothes Cover...

  Worn Out examines the underside of our historic clothing binge and the fashion industry's fall from grace. Former InStyle senior news editor and seasoned journalist Alyssa Hardy's riveting work explores the lives of the millions of garment workers—mostly women of color—who toil in the fashion industry around the world—from LA-based sweatshop employees who experience sexual abuse while stitching clothes for H&M, Fashion Nova, and Levi's to "homeworkers" in Indonesia who are unknowingly given carcinogenic materials to work with. Worn Out exposes the complicity of celebrities whose endorsements obscure the exploitation behind marquee brands and also includes interviews with designers such as Mara Hoffman, whose business models are based on ethical production standards. 
   
   
   
  Like many of us, Hardy believes in the personal, political, and cultural place fashion has in our lives, from seed to sew to closet, and that it is still okay to indulge in its glitz and glamour. But the time has come, she argues, to force real change on an industry that prefers to keep its dark side behind the runway curtain. The perfect book for people who are passionate about clothing and style, Worn Out seeks to engage in a real conversation about who gets harmed by fast fashion—and offers meaningful solutions for change.

  The Pandemic Workplace - How We...

  A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
   
  In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
   
  Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.

  "A much-needed guide to winning in business as a human in an all-too online world." – Entrepreneur 
  Trying to win the internet is a gloriously inefficient way to build a business.  
  No matter your goals, The Obvious Choice offers 15 essential lessons on profit and success that are timeless because they prioritize the humans who buy from you and not erratic and temperamental algorithms. 
  Jonathan Goodman—one of the world's leading experts on helping people simplify their business—reveals proven frameworks for increasing efficiency, praying to the social media gods less, and mastering the art of finding your customers. 
  Backed by a wide range of case studies, Goodman shows how modern marketing technology has led us astray. That start-ups and established organizations alike have bought into the misguided idea that they need to become "famous on the internet" just to make a few sales. 
  If you're having trouble finding your way, the problem isn't you. The problem is what you've been made to believe it takes to succeed. 
  This book is for any marketer, business owner, coach, or entrepreneur who wants an easier way to make more money, help more people, and have more freedom by avoiding wasted time and resources on dead-ends and ineffective methods. 
  Specifically, you'll learn how to:Build trust in business relationships through community, specificity, and familiarity.Apply the four-step content creation framework designed for business owners, not influencers, to get more customers (because likes don't pay the bills).Improve profitability by cutting out the work not worth doing. 
    
  Algorithms change, humans don't. 
  No matter who you are and no matter what you sell, your customer is a human. And yet, marketing these days feels so inhuman. 
  Filled with frameworks, entertaining stories, and admittedly bad-Dad jokes, The Obvious Choice is a much-needed recalibration and, at times, a refreshing slap for a business generation that's lost its way. 
  Buy this book to learn how to earn more and compete less in this much-needed approach to success in a crowded marketplace. 
  Useful information, charts, illustrations, and reflections can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
