  Inclusify - The Power of...

  In this groundbreaking guide, a management expert outlines the transformative leadership skill of tomorrow—one that can make it possible to build truly diverse and inclusive teams which value employees’ need to belong while being themselves.   
  Humans have two basic desires: to stand out and to fit in. Companies respond by creating groups that tend to the extreme—where everyone fits in and no one stands out, or where everyone stands out and no one fits in. How do we find that happy medium where workers can demonstrate their individuality while also feeling they belong? 
  The answer, according to Stefanie Johnson, is to Inclusify. In this essential handbook, she explains what it means to Inclusify and how it can be used to strengthen any business. Inclusifying—unlike “diversifying” or “including”— implies a continuous, sustained effort towards helping diverse teams feel engaged, empowered, accepted, and valued. It’s no use having diversity if everyone feels like an outsider, she contends. 
  In her research, Johnson found common problems leaders exhibit which frustrate their attempts to create diverse and cohesive teams. Leaders that underestimated the importance of group coherence and dynamics often have employees who do not feel like they belong; leaders that ignore the benefits of listening to different perspectives leave some people feeling like they cannot be their authentic selves. 
  By contrast, leaders who Inclusify can forge strong relationships with their teams, inspire greater productivity from all of their workers, and create a more positive environment for everyone. Having a true range of different voices is good for the bottom line—it allows for the development of the best, most innovative, and creative solutions that are essential to success.  
  Inclusify reveals the unexpected ways that well-intentioned leaders undermine their teams, explains how to recognize the myths and misperceptions that drive these behaviors, and provides practical strategies to become an Inclusifyer. By learning why uniqueness and belonging are so imperative, leaders can better understand what makes their employees tick and find ways to encourage them to be themselves while ensuring they feel like they are fully part of the group. The result is a fully engaged team filled with diverse perspectives—the key to creating innovative and imaginative ideas that drive value.

  Supposedly, our high level of cognition (and strategically placed  thumbs) is what set us apart from much of the natural world.   But it turns out that while we all think, we do not all think the  same way. We all naturally use the universal creative process, for  instance, but our preferences within that process make all the  difference in forging a workable solution. These preferences have  an enormous impact on the ways we go about solving problems and how  we work together.    This book introduces a uniquely effective set of tools ?  called FourSight, field-tested by top consultants, but never before  presented to a mass audience ? that can help anyone from  professionals to laymen solve problems and achieve performance  breakthroughs. FourSight enables teams to understand their patterns  of thinking and to then more deliberately manage themselves toward  accomplishing a task.   In business-fable style, the book reveals the impact that  our underlying work style preferences have on our teams and their  results. Part 1 travels along on a team?s journey from  dysfunctional to high functioning. Part 2 reveals the theory behind  successful breakthrough teams with a clear introduction to the four  stages of the breakthrough thinking process. These stages will help  both team members and leaders understand the dynamics present  within their team and provide the reader with options for how to  improve performance. It will also serve as a great resource for  management and leadership development professionals, team leaders,  and others interested in kick-starting innovation in their  workplaces and lives.

  The Primacy of Doubt - From...

  Why does your weather app say “there’s a 10 percent chance of rain” instead of “it will be sunny”? In large part, this is due to the insight of award-winning physicist Tim Palmer, who pioneered the introduction of uncertainty into weather and climate prediction.  
  Now, he wants to apply it to how we study everything else. 
   
  In The Primacy of Doubt, Palmer gives us a revolutionary vision of mathematical uncertainty that provides new insights into a range of practical problems and some of the deepest questions in science and philosophy. He draws connections that are in equal parts unexpected  
  and fascinating: how ensemble forecasts can predict unpredictability, how the brain uses noise for creative thinking, how the geometry of chaos forces us to rewrite the laws of quantum mechanics, and in so doing reconciles determinism, free will, and moral responsibility.  
   
  A tour de force from a brilliant mind, The Primacy of Doubt shows that the fundamental law of the universe might just be to expect the unexpected.

  Whether you are selling online, through a direct sales force, or  via distribution channels, what customers are saying about you  online is now more important than your advertising. Social media is  no longer a curiosity on the horizon but a significant part of your  marketing mix.   A shift in philosophy, a modification in strategy, and brand new  metrics are the keys to marketing success in this interconnected  world. While other books explain why social media is critical and  how to go about participating, this book focuses on measuring the  success of your social media marketing efforts.  Success metrics in business are based on business goals where  fame does not always equate to fortune. Having more Twitter  followers or Facebook friends than the competition might not result  in value. Read this book to determine which social media efforts  are working for you, where to allocate more social media resources,  and how to convince those who are afraid of new  things that social media is a valuable business tool and not  just a toy for the overly-wired.  Knowing what works and what doesn't is terrific, but only in a  constant and unchanging world. Social Media Metrics is  loaded with specific examples of specific metrics you can use to  guide your social media marketing efforts as new means of  communication.

  Sea State - A Memoir

  A Recommended Read from: Vogue * USA Today * The Los Angeles Times * Publishers Weekly * The Week * Alma * Lit Hub 
  A stunning and brutally honest memoir that shines a light on what happens when female desire conflicts with a culture of masculinity in crisis 
  In her midthirties and newly free from a terrible relationship, Tabitha Lasley quit her job at a London magazine, packed her bags, and poured her savings into a six-month lease on an apartment in Aberdeen, Scotland. She decided to make good on a long-deferred idea for a book about oil rigs and the men who work on them. Why oil rigs? She wanted to see what men were like with no women around. 
  In Aberdeen, Tabitha became deeply entrenched in the world of roughnecks, a teeming subculture rich with brawls, hard labor, and competition. The longer she stayed, the more she found her presence had a destabilizing effect on the men—and her. 
  Sea State is on the one hand a portrait of an overlooked industry: “offshore” is a way of life for generations of primarily working-class men and also a potent metaphor for those parts of life we keep at bay—class, masculinity, the transactions of desire, and the awful slipperiness of a ladder that could, if we tried hard enough, lead us to security. 
  Sea State is on the other hand the story of a journalist whose professional distance from her subject becomes perilously thin. In Aberdeen, Tabitha gets high and dances with abandon, reliving her youth, when the music was good and the boys were bad. Twenty years on, there is Caden: a married rig worker who spends three weeks on and three weeks off. Alone and in an increasingly precarious state, Tabitha dives into their growing attraction. The relationship, reckless and explosive, will lay them both bare.
