Whether you want to give constructive feedback, resolve family tensions, build workplace trust, encourage a colleague, or network with purpose, Miller provides the phrases to get you going.This isn’t about memorizing scripts; it’s about sparking possibility with short, strategic conversation-starters. As a leader, it's your responsibility to articulate expected behaviors, not just leave it to websites and handbooks. Lighthearted yet profound, Miller makes a compelling case that brevity and courage are the keys to better communication. From performance expectations to consoling grief, she mixes research, personal stories, and actionable advice tailored to fit any relationship quandary.So step out of your comfort zone, stop worrying about what to say, and unlock richer relationships.

Frictionless Enterprise - Shred...

Nate Berent-Spillson

This book is for dissatisfied technology leaders. The leaders in product, technology, design, marketing, and digital at established organizations. Forward thinking leaders who know there’s a better way of doing things, but still find themselves struggling to generate the momentum needed to drive their legacy organizations into the future. We did not write this for startups, although the patterns we outline can still be applied to start-ups.In many ways, start-ups have it a little easier because “the first release is always free.” The first release is free because you don’t have an existing system and customers that you’re going to interrupt. Enterprise organizations do. When you have an existing business that you’re running, it’s infinitely harder to change. You must figure out how to not disrupt your business while you’re being asked to transform.That’s hard to do, but it’s not impossible. Successful, established organizations are structured to resist change to protect the franchise, but change is the very thing that we need to be innovative and transformative. Change is difficult because as the company grew through success in the market, the organization itself developed “muscle memory”, and digital technology has challenged that like no other. The company itself may be facing existential threats putting its futurein jeopardy. Unlearning and breaking existing muscle memory is difficult, but rather than thinking of it as unlearning, it’s more like cutting a new groove, where the more you make the new motion, the easier it becomes. The more you do that motion of new learning, the easier that becomes. Organizations don’t need to just transform; they need to make transformation itself something that they master.

The Shadow Agents - Exposing the...

John Harpoon

Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye. These operations can range from intelligence gathering and surveillance to acts of sabotage and subversion, and they play a crucial role in shaping global power dynamics. 
The concept of covert operations is not new. Throughout history, countries have engaged in clandestine activities to protect their interests, advance their political goals, or weaken their adversaries. From ancient espionage missions to the sophisticated, technology-driven operations of today, the underlying principles of secrecy and deception have remained constant. However, the scale, complexity, and tools used in these operations have evolved significantly over the years. 
One of the most significant aspects of covert operations is their ability to influence world events without direct confrontation. These operations can alter the course of conflicts, sway elections, or shape public perception, all while remaining largely unseen. The ability to conduct these operations without attribution allows governments and organizations to maintain plausible deniability, minimizing the risk of political or diplomatic fallout. This makes covert operations an essential tool in international relations, especially in times of heightened tensions or when open warfare would be too costly.
