  Grove identifies such moments as Strategic Inflection Points, triggered by various factors such as fierce competition, regulatory shifts, or subtle technological changes. When these points occur, conventional business rules no longer apply. However, if managed correctly, these moments of upheaval can serve as springboards to marketplace victory and an opportunity to emerge more robust than ever. 
  Our summary encapsulates Grove's wisdom, highlighting his experiences and how he dealt with significant events, such as the Pentium flaw crisis that threatened Intel's reputation in 1994 and the rapid expansion of the internet. "Only the Paranoid Survive," a lifetime's worth of work, stands as a crucial resource for managerial and leadership skills.

  In The Rational Optimist (2010), Matt Ridley argues that human progress is advanced by cultural evolution and that, contrary to general attitudes, optimism is the way into the future. Pessimists insist that humanity is regressing and the future looks bleak. However, life is factually increasing in quality: innovation is reaching new heights, poverty is declining globally, living conditions are improving, mortality is decreasing, and economic prosperity is flourishing. By following historical trends, from the birth of trade to the current technological world, Ridley finds that humanity is on an upward spiral, and there’s plenty of cause for rational optimism.

  What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a human at work? The answer to these questions should not be dissimilar - to have a purpose, to connect and to feel, and yet organizational cultures still do not embrace people bringing their whole selves to work. If we are not showing up, not bringing our whole awesome selves, we are not thriving; we are hiding. 
   
   The workplace and leadership are the root cause and fuel of so many societal issues, from wellbeing, the economy, inequality and the climate. Following the year of the largest remote working experiment, not many would argue against work not being somewhere we go but what we do and why we do it.
   
   The Human-Centric Workplace is about highlighting that we can do better, and we must do better. There are numerous ideas and theories about how and why people are what make organizations thrive (or expire) and yet we still fail to ensure organizations are human-centric. Culminating with a playbook, The Human-Centric Workplace aims to inform, inspire and drive change through demystifying the 'how' to ensure our people, communities and planet thrive.

  The Fight for $15 - The Right...

  “Rolf shows that raising the minimum wage to $15 is both just and necessary, lest the American dream of middle class prosperity turn into a nightmare” (David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist).   Combining history, economics, and commonsense political wisdom, The Fight for $15 makes a deeply informed case for a national fifteen-dollars-an-hour minimum wage as the only practical solution to reversing America’s decades-long slide toward becoming a low-wage nation.   Drawing both on new scholarship and on his extensive practical experiences organizing workers and grappling with inequality across the United States, David Rolf, president of SEIU 775—which waged the successful Seattle campaign for a fifteen dollar minimum wage—offers an accessible explanation of “middle out” economics, an emerging popular economic theory that suggests that the origins of prosperity in capitalist economies lie with workers and consumers, not investors and employers.   A blueprint for a different and hopeful American future, The Fight for $15 offers concrete tools, ideas, and inspiration for anyone interested in real change in our lifetimes.   “The author’s plainspoken approach and stellar scholarship illuminate in-depth discussions about the deliberate policy decisions that began to decimate the middle class at the start of the 1980s as well as the insidious new ways in which big business continues to attack American workers today via stagnant wages, rampant subcontracting, unpredictable scheduling, and other detrimental practices associated with the so-called ‘share economy.’” —Kirkus Reviews   “David Rolf has become the most successful advocate for raising wages in the twenty-first century.” —Andy Stern, senior fellow at Columbia University’s Richard Paul Richman Center for Business, Law, and Public Policy
