  The Strategic Empathy Revolution...

  Most leaders know empathy matters. Few know how to deploy it strategically. The Strategic Empathy Revolution changes that. 
  Dr Loretta Piazza brings 45 years in educational leadership to this book, including 22 as a school principal and her current work as a Department of Education consultant and executive coach. She argues that empathy, when treated as a strategic capability rather than a soft skill, becomes the single most powerful driver of team performance, psychological safety, and organisational culture. 
  At the heart of the book is the BRIDGE Framework, a six-stage methodology Dr Piazza developed across decades of frontline leadership: Build awareness, Recognise patterns, Integrate empathy, Develop practices, Generate impact, Evolve continuously. Each stage is grounded in practice, supported by current research on emotional intelligence, the brain and psychological safety, and demonstrated through two extended case studies. 
  Jamie, a school principal navigating a turnaround school, illustrates how strategic empathy transforms a struggling team and how those same skills carried him to a senior role overseeing a large number of schools. Kathy Chen, a tech executive leading distributed teams globally, shows the framework translating seamlessly into corporate environments. 
  Written in clear, practical language and structured for working leaders rather than academics, The Strategic Empathy Revolution is a handbook for anyone responsible for building teams that perform. It speaks equally to school principals, executives, middle managers, and emerging leaders — wherever the work of leading people happens.

  England Under the Normans: The...

  William the Conqueror’s conquest of Britain arguably made him the most important figure in shaping the course of English history, but modern caricatures of this vitally important medieval figure are largely based on ignorance. William is a fascinating and complex figure, in many ways the quintessential warrior king of this period. Inheriting the Duchy of Normandy while still an infant and forced to fight for his domain almost ceaselessly during his early years, William went on to conquer and rule England, five times larger and three times wealthier. In doing so, he demonstrated sophisticated political and diplomatic skill, military prowess and administrative acumen. Although he lived by the sword, he was a devout man who had only one wife, to whom he remained faithful.  
  	William is one of history’s most famous conquerors, but the efforts to consolidate his rule in England were complicated from the start, both due to external enemies and those jockeying for his position while he was still alive. William ultimately decided to split Normandy and England. His son Robert, still in open revolt, would nonetheless inherit Normandy, while the next in line, his second son William, would rule England. The two states that William left behind were hardly united or at peace. Soon after his death, Odo conspired with Robert to oust his brother from the English throne and re-establish a united state, but the revolt failed, and King William “Rufus” II would rule England until his suspicious death in 1100. His younger brother Henry inherited the throne, and in 1106 he imprisoned Robert after their sibling battle at Tinchebray had achieved unity once more, but any political unity would not last long.  
  	This bloody era provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives, characters, and power struggles of the Norman-French nobility who had conquered England less than 100 years prior.

  Mayor Adler of Austin had no place to hide.
  
  • A serial bomber terrorizes the fastest-growing U.S. city.
  • A pandemic kills people and shuts down the economy.
  • Homeless encampments take over parks and civic debate.
  • A city is at war with itself over policing and race.
  • Affordability and housing costs explode.
  • A city navigates unprecedented political polarization.
  
  From 2015 to 2023, every crisis landed on the Austin mayor’s desk—and every decision carried immediate, real-world consequences. Hot Seat—Hot City is Adler’s unflinching, first-person account of what governing actually looks like when there are no great options. Not a campaign memoir or partisan argument—this is written by someone accountable for outcomes, not rhetoric.
  
  As national politics grows more dysfunctional, cities have become the front line of American democracy. Mayors absorb the consequences of failures they didn’t create, forced to make real-time decisions under intense public scrutiny. This is the story of mayors everywhere, and 48 U.S. mayors have put their names behind it.
  
  This book is a clear-eyed look at what democratic leadership demands when consensus is elusive, institutions are strained, and the stakes are high.
