Lead With Confidence

Summary

Lead With Confidence dismantles the myth of the "born leader," arguing that impactful leadership is a skill anyone can develop through emotional intelligence, adaptive decision-making, and ethical transparency. Bridging decades of organizational research with practical strategies, the book reveals how these competencies foster resilient teams and organizations, even in modern challenges like remote work or globalized markets. A striking insight shows that companies prioritizing psychological safety—where employees feel safe to take risks—often see higher profit margins, linking inclusive leadership directly to financial success. By emphasizing self-awareness and strategic empathy, the book provides a roadmap to build trust and inspire innovation, challenging outdated hierarchical models.

Structured into three sections, the guide progresses from core frameworks to real-world applications. It combines behavioral economics, crisis management studies, and tools like the “Trust Audit” to diagnose team morale. Unique interdisciplinary connections—from cognitive psychology to sociology—help leaders mitigate biases and navigate power dynamics. Readers gain actionable techniques, such as scenario-planning matrices for high-stakes decisions, grounded in data yet adaptable to diverse industries. Unlike generic advice, Lead With Confidence merges rigor with accessibility, using case studies like pandemic-era ethical dilemmas to illustrate timeless principles. Tailored for professionals aiming to lead with integrity, it positions leadership as an evolving practice, blending self-help motivation with evidence-based management science for lasting impact.

Robert Chapman

'Groundbreaking . . . [provides] a deep history of the invention of the "normal" mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes 
 
 
 
Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. 
 
 
 
Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible—but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds, and deepest selves—and how we can undo them.

The Decision Intelligence...

L. Y. Pratt, N.E. Malcolm

Decision intelligence (DI) has been widely named as a top technology trend for several years, and Gartner reports that more than a third of large organizations are adopting it. Some even say that DI is the next step in the evolution of AI. Many software vendors offer DI solutions today, as they help organizations implement their evidence-based or data-driven decision strategies. 
 
 
 
But until now, there has been little practical guidance for organizations to formalize decision making and integrate their decisions with data. 
 
 
 
With this book, authors L. Y. Pratt and N. E. Malcolm fill this gap. They present a step-by-step method for integrating technology into decisions that bridge from actions to desired outcomes, with a focus on systems that act in an advisory, human-in-the-loop capacity to decision makers. 
 
 
 
This handbook addresses three widespread data-driven decision-making problems: 
 
 
 
● How can decision makers use data and technology to ensure desired outcomes? 
 
 
 
● How can technology teams communicate effectively with decision makers to maximize the return on their data and technology investments? 
 
 
 
● How can organizational decision makers assess and improve their decisions over time?
