  From two experts on leadership, a no-nonsense guide for ambitious leaders to build great teams by embracing toughness—without sacrificing humanity 
   
  Some of today’s most successful companies are also infamous for their domineering leaders and toxic working environments. But you don’t have to compromise yourself or your people to drive your team to greatness. 
   
  In Tough Enough, leadership coaches John Baird and Matt Hunter argue that building a high-performing team requires a new form of toughness—not based on bullying and bravado, but rather pushing for exceptional results in a way that is firm, fair, and respectful. Drawing on decades of coaching top CEOs, elite founders, and ambitious leaders, Baird and Hunter break down seven specific habits that define the strongest, most effective leaders, from being clear about the company culture to strategically unleashing emotional thunder. They set the record straight on when to prioritize understanding and empathy, when it’s time to be direct—and, most importantly, how to do both at the same time. Their no-nonsense approach gives readers the tools to calibrate their toughness and compassion in a way that maximizes performance without sacrificing humanity. 
   
  With real-world stories, timeless principles, and scientific insight, Tough Enough is the practical playbook for building the next generation of great companies. 
   
  This audiobook was skillfully read by Joel Richards, with a contribution from Matt Hunter. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

  Scale Solo - For Experts Who...

  You've been lied to. You don't need a team to build an empire. 
  They tell you that "if you don't have an assistant, you are the assistant." They tell you that "real" entrepreneurs scale by hiring employees, managing payroll, and removing themselves from the work. 
  They are wrong. 
  For expert service providers-consultants, strategists, designers, and coaches-the traditional "agency model" is a trap. It leads to bloated overhead, management nightmares, and a calendar so full of meetings you have no time to actually do the work you love. 
  It's time to stop trading time for money. Stop writing free proposals. Stop letting clients run your schedule. 
  It's time to Scale Solo. 
  In Scale Solo, Pia Silva reveals the No BS Business Model: a contrarian approach to building a high-profit, low-stress micro-business that generates 300k-500k+ a year without employees. 
  Inside, you'll learn how to: 
  - Get Paid to Pitch: Kill the free proposal and use the Lead Product(TM) Method to get paid for your diagnosis before you ever prescribe the cure. 
  - Deliver in Days, Not Months: Use the Intensives Model to compress 6-month projects into profitable 2-day sprints-without lowering your price. 
  - Master the 50/25/25 Rule: The mathematical formula that guarantees you hit your "Freedom Number" while working with clients only 50% of the time. 
  - Escape the "Feast or Famine" Cycle: Use the Capital Cushion and "Annual Thinking" to bank true confidence and stop panic-selling. 
  You didn't start a business to become a stressed-out middle manager. You started it for freedom. This is your permission slip to stay small, take the profit, and reclaim your life.

  Push Back - Live Love and Work...

  Tonya Lester

  In her debut book, popular therapist, Psychology Today blogger, and go-to relationship expert Tonya Lester offers a master class on how to be effectively assertive for anyone whose aversion to conflict has led to struggles at home, at work, or in relationships. 
    
  Tonya Lester has a bold piece of advice for every conflict-averse person in the world: It’s OK to be difficult. Not mean, not rigid, not a bully—but the kind of difficult that makes the people in your life see you and understand what you need. Too often, women are encouraged to be nurturers and peacemakers, which carries the implied message that they should also not rock the boat. But rocking the boat—or being assertive—is often exactly what women must do to have the life they want. 
    
  In Push Back, the Psychology Today blogger and Modern Love contributor explains how to be difficult in a way that is both clear and productive. All too often, Lester has seen her clients talk themselves out of being angry when anger was justified; tell half-lies or back off to avoid difficult conversations; absorb disappointment and resentment to let someone else have their way; and take on more than their fair share of work in a relationship to keep the peace. And they do so because most relationship advice ignores the very real problems of uncooperative and avoidant partners, systemic sexism, and pressures to compromise, be conciliatory, and aim for harmony. To push back on these pressures, Lester offers guidance that can help create a world that works better for everyone, starting with the women themselves. 
    
  In this accessible and uplifting guide, through exercises, case studies, and real-life examples from public figures, people pleasers learn to set boundaries in all kinds of relationships, express their needs and engage in productive conflict, and deal calmly with any backlash that might come from spouses, coworkers, bosses, in-laws, siblings, and children. Designed to challenge the sea of advice telling women they should smooth out interpersonal struggles, Push Back boldly advocates for the opposite: more (healthy) conflict, more clear limits, more rocking the boat.

  Is your firm's board creating value—or destroying it? 
   
   
   
  Change is coming. Leadership at the top is being redefined as boards take a more active role in decisions that once belonged solely to the CEO. But for all the advantages of increased board engagement, it can create debilitating questions of authority and dangerous meddling in day-to-day operations. Directors need a new road map—for when to lead, when to partner, and when to stay out of the way. 
   
   
   
  Boardroom veterans Ram Charan, Dennis Carey, and Michael Useem advocate this new governance model—a sharp departure from what has been demanded by governance activists, raters, and regulators—and reveal the emerging practices that are defining shared leadership of directors and executives. Based on personal interviews and the authors' broad and deep experience working with executives and directors from dozens of the world's largest firms, Boards That Lead tells the inside story behind the successes and pitfalls of this new leadership model and explains how to define the central idea of the company; ensure that the right CEO is in place and potential successors are identified; recruit directors who add value; root out board dysfunction; select a board leader who deftly bridges the divide between management and the board; and set a high bar on ethics and risk.
