Brave Together - Lead by Design...

Ian Clawson, Chris Deaver

Next Big Idea Club Must-Read (with Malcolm Gladwell and Adam Grant)

INC's Top 5 Books for Transforming Business

"An entirely new experience. Discover how to work creatively together." —Fast Company

"Co-creation in hyperdrive . . . Take it from teamwork gurus behind Apple and Star Wars—a new kind of psychological incubator will allow your creativity to flourish." —Big Think

"Deaver and Clawson know a thing or two (and a lot more) about what works best in the workplace." —Forbes

"Groundbreaking. Get ready to be inspired and join the co-creation movement with this remarkable book." —Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and NY Times bestselling author of The Earned Life

"Exhilarating." —Daniel Pink, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Drive, To Sell is Human, and The Power of Regret

Brave Together is a powerful book that can transform the lives of leaders, creators, or anyone looking to shape the future. It comes from the thought leaders who helped Apple shift the culture from "thinking different" to "working different together".

How did Apple overcome a culture of secrecy? How did Pixar out-innovate Disney? Why do companies kill creativity? Does Shark Tank teach us something about the way we pursue success that isn't true?

We've been told that working harder and smarter is the only way to succeed in business and life. But it's not true. Hustle culture is causing burnout and pain in our lives, making us feel divided. What if instead we focused on working creatively with others? And asked How can we shape cultures people love? There is hope in co-creation.

Brave Together is a deep exploration into how we can live and lead as co-creators, filled with unexpected stories, powerful principles, and a future-oriented framework. The authors have pressure-tested this work with startups and Fortune 500s—including Apple. Coaching leaders how to reimagine their approach to culture, converting creative ideas into billion-dollar solutions with the help of these patterns:

The Mirror Test: Take ownership of your reality and your creative identity.

The Hero's Sacrifice: Break free of ego to connect with others in inspiring ways.

Become the Future: Create a synthesis, manifesting the best in mind, heart, and spirit.

Chris Deaver and Ian Clawson have written a handbook that challenges the status quo approach to leadership, work, and culture. It offers the path to a bright future that isn't self-made but shared.

Fiat Socialism - Achieving the...

Carlos García Hernández

Fiat socialism could also be called flexible socialism, as it frees socialism from the rigidities imposed by historical law. This socialism will take different forms in different places, it accepts that socialist organizations are not exempt from making mistakes, it will involve different levels of participation by the private sector, as well as different levels in the gross operating surpluses, and it is open to processes of improvement in order to mobilize real resources in the best possible way to achieve the goals of socialism. Only one rigidity is established: monetary sovereignty.
Modern monetary theory is only valid in monetary systems where the state is the sovereign issuer of its currency and where there is an appropriate coordination between the Central Bank and the Treasury. If Archimedes in ancient Greece said give me a point of support and I will move the world, a socialist Archimedes would say give me monetary sovereignty and I will build you socialism.

Don't Lead Alone - Think Like a...

PhD Cleveland Justis

Think. Act. Lead.
It seems simple enough. But understanding your desired impact and how it fits into a larger picture, connecting your work to others and finding new collaborators, and bringing those collaborators together and moving them in a unified direction is never easy. 

Governments, businesses, and nonprofits all have unique approaches and ideas that many of us learn through our work. Yet, we rarely consider the skills needed to create and maintain the partnerships between them. Most of us learn those skills through trial, error, and often, failure. Worse, we typically stay in our self-reinforcing silos, sharing perspectives and frustrations with like-minded people, limiting our vision of what our work can become. By partnering with other sectors, we combine and adapt approaches to solve complex problems, and leaders in any industry can create large-scale change.

Cleveland Justis and Daniel Student share a road map for effective partnerships that increase impact and profitability. Using real-life examples and practice exercises, the authors teach how to acquire and use skills to solve complex problems and propel your organization forward by combining a multitude of perspectives, split into three sections:

• Think Like a System
• Act Like a Network
• Lead Like a Movement

It’s time to get out of our silos. Don’t lead alone.
