Summary

The 7 Habits of Zen Leadership: What Successful Leaders Did When the World Stopped Going to Work is a bold, evidence-backed leadership playbook born from the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic. Written by Tim Salau, Mr. Future of Work, this transformative guide explores how some of the world’s most impactful companies—Microsoft, Spotify, Patagonia, Chobani, and more—redefined leadership when the traditional workplace disappeared overnight.
 
In this deeply human, highly actionable book, Salau distills the stories, strategies, and habits of high-impact organizations into a new framework called Zen Leadership: a blend of purpose, agility, community, and compassion. Across seven modern habits—from “Lead with Purpose” to “Lead with Compassion”—Salau shares how organizations adapted, thrived, and created cultures rooted in trust, well-being, and innovation.
 
This is not a book about mindfulness. It’s about what happens when legacy leadership fails, and what comes next. Each chapter includes real-world case studies, workshop prompts, and powerful tools leaders can apply immediately to create workplaces that work—for everyone.
 
Whether you're an executive navigating hybrid work, a founder rethinking how your team operates, or an emerging leader building trust in uncertain times, this book offers a clear roadmap to evolve how you lead. You’ll learn how to:
 
- Replace control with clarity and surveillance with trust
 
- Design agile teams that respond to crisis with innovation
 
- Center community and inclusivity without sacrificing growth
 
- Scale culture without burning people out
 
The 7 Habits of Zen Leadership isn’t just about surviving the future of work. It’s about designing it—with more humanity, more impact, and more courage.
Available since: 10/08/2025.

    In Revenue Revolution: Designing and Building a High-Performing Sales System, the cofounder and CEO of Triple Session, Matt Doyon, delivers an insightful and practical discussion of how to maximize sales success by encouraging collaboration between sales leadership and front-line sales personnel. In the book, you'll learn how to utilize a design-build model to create a fully integrated sales organization made up of six interlocking systems. 
 
 
 
The author explains why the commonly espoused, executive-driven, top-down approach is incomplete, and why it's so necessary to include the bottom-up point of view of front-line sales technique specialists. You'll also discover: strategies for implementing a design-build model that work for both brand-new sales teams at recently launched companies and mature sales teams; rebooting an existing sales team's processes to incorporate the design-build model; and ways to both effectively plan and execute a system that scales with the growth of your firm. 
 
 
 
An indispensable resource for sales professionals and sales team leaders, Revenue Revolution will also earn a place in the libraries of managers, executives, and other business leaders with an interest or stake in the success of their company's sales processes.

Purpose 
Vision

    From Ashes to OpportunityI see that my purpose—my love—is fixing things. Families, after my dad left. Businesses, struggling to survive. Boats, deserving of glory instead of ashes. —Wes WheelerWes Wheeler has spent his life fixing things. From a young age, the New York native witnessed the decline of his family’s multi-generational boat business, watching it, quite literally, burn to the ground. While sorting through the ashes of the once successfully run company alongside his father, Wheeler’s future was decided for him. Instead of succumbing to the idea that businesses disintegrate and leave behind hordes of unemployed workers, their mission buried beneath burned bridges and abandoned dreams, Wheeler opted to arm himself with a work ethic built on faith, drive, and dogged determination.In The Turnaround Leader, Wheeler recounts his decades of managing projects for rising and falling companies, reshaping organizations, and restructuring business models to stand the test of time. Wheeler’s lifetime of ambition was launched during his humble beginnings as a paper delivery boy, where he discovered the little shifts that make a big difference, from the way he angled the papers he threw, to how he engaged with customers and mapped out his routes. These tiny lessons compounded over time and bolstered him while he faced difficult economic headwinds and ill-suited business leaders that preceded him, his most rewarding challenge being his leadership role during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a world where business models are rapidly changing and employment is never promised, Wheeler’s ability to adapt is both inspiring and achievable.
