Imagine you’ve been challenged to design the best company on Earth to work for

What would that company be like? How would you build and sustain it? As employers report that they are having trouble recruiting, and talented workers increasingly go it alone, the idea that individuals must conform to the organization’s needs has changed. The leaders of today’s workplaces must transform their organizations to attract the right people, keep them, and inspire them to do their best work.

With vivid examples, the authors illustrate the kind of strong, attractive workplace culture that leads to sustained high performance. They also provide ways of assessing how your company is doing, and describe the tensions and trade-offs that leaders must manage as they transform their organizations.

Why should anyone work here? This is the question business leaders must constantly ask themselves if they want to survive and thrive.

Leadership is not about money or power—it’s a way of being that engages your talents now, and it is accessible to everyone. The keys are thinking and acting like an owner

From years as a successful leadership coach, counselor, and teacher, Rob Kaplan has learned something crucial: leadership is accessible to all of us, every day. In What You Really Need to Lead, he outlines what he sees as the indispensable key to good leadership: an ownership mind-set. How do you know whether you have it? For Kaplan, here are the determining questions: Do you think and act as if you are in charge? Do you focus on adding value for others? Do you take responsibility for the impact of your actions? Do you take responsibility for learning to become a leader and learning to understand yourself?

This book is the capstone of the Rob Kaplan trilogy for becoming an effective, successful leader, and for sustaining your leadership mindset throughout your career.

A bold new framework demonstrating how and why meaningful change happens, offering lessons and a practical model for businesses, policy-makers, and organizations to generate new value

Who really moves things forward in our society, and how do they do it? Strategy guru Roger Martin and Skoll Foundation CEO Sally Osberg argue that social entrepreneurship is not a marginal activity, but an agent of change that unleashes new value for society by releasing trapped human ambition.

The book illuminates the theory and history of social entrepreneurship and then sets out a framework for understanding how successful social entrepreneurs actually go about producing transformative change. With both depth and nuance, Martin and Osberg relate rich examples and stories, and share lessons and tools applicable to everyone who aspires to drive positive change, whatever the context.

Getting Beyond Better is a primer for all those keen to understand, integrate, and leverage social innovation, to solve problems, and to unleash new value for society.

There’s a new breed of company that creates a unique and powerful culture for continuous individual growth—and superior business results

Most companies think that the search for talent is a zero-sum game. But what if we viewed becoming worldclass less as the product of successful recruitment efforts and more as the outcome of a relentless focus on growing the capabilities of existing employees?

Experts Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey have found and studied what they call “deliberately developmental organizations.” These are companies committed to the simple conviction that organizations will prosper when they fashion a culture in which support for people’s ongoing development is woven into the daily fabric of working life—visible in regular operations, daily routines, and conversations.

The book dives deeply into two leading companies that embody this breakthrough approach and reveals their disciplined, consistent approach to giving feedback, how they use meetings, and how managers define their roles differently. The authors then show how to build this developmental culture in any organization.

An Everyone CultureBecoming a Deliberately Developmental OrganizationR O B E RT K E G A N A N D L I SA L A H E Y

Dr. Robert Kegan is a professor at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education. He has been the recipient of numerous honorary degrees and awards over 30 years of research and writing.

How to construct the perfect pitch deck

Evan Baehr and Evan Loomis are both rising stars in the start-up world. Because of the success they’ve had raising funds multiple times, they are frequently asked how it’s done: how should a would-be entrepreneur raise funds?

The question is far deeper than it first appears, because raising funds means being able to answer fundamental questions about the business, and then being able to make a good pitch. The mechanism for doing this for the contemporary entrepreneur is the pitch deck.

In Get Backed the authors walk the reader through the process of creating a pitch deck and how to use it to get funding. It includes elements on how to conceptualize the deck and different methods of putting one together, and also offers examples of decks from successful ventures as guides.

This full-color, fully illustrated guide is the only resource that gathers all of this information into one place and provides a practical, hands-on solution for would-be entrepreneurs.

Evan Loomis co-founded TreeHouse, a sustainable building home-improvement store. He has raised millions of dollars from angel investors and venture capital firms. Previously he co-founded an angel investment group, and worked as an investment banker.

A road map for managing external, expert talent

Google and Intel rely on experts in social science and biomechanics to assess how people think about and use technology. Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse use astrophysicists as “strategists” because of their expertise in big data sets.

Companies like these are gaining competitive advantage through strategic use of experts. At the same time, managers understand that “lean,” “agile,” and “fast” strategies require that they think in new ways about accessing and leveraging key strategic talent and for filling critical gaps in strategic capabilities.

Authored by two veterans in talent, leadership, and strategic HR, the book reveals how companies such as Apple, Uber, AirBnB, Google, IBM, and Bain Capital organize and manage new forms of talent in new ways. Supported by survey data and packed with tools and templates for applying these ideas, this book is the ultimate guide for winning the next war for talent.

How companies can close the gap between what they aspire to do and what they can actually accomplish

Having the right capabilities in place is essential, but research by the authors’ firm, Strategy&, shows that capabilities alone don’t close the gap between grand aspiration and ultimate achievement.

• Commit to winning by what they do best• Focus on and build only those capabilities• Prune what doesn’t matter to invest more in what does• Leverage the culture they have instead of reengineering it• Shape demand instead of constantly reacting to market changes

A simple, clear framework for identifying opportunities for growth hidden in plain sight, at the edges of your core business

In volatile environments the forces pushing us to keep focused on the core business become extremely powerful. But the danger is, overfocusing on the core can blind companies to growth opportunities at the edge of the business.

In Edge Strategy, experts and consultants Alan Lewis and Dan McKone outline a sharp, practical way of characterizing and visualizing the three different kinds of opportunities: • Inside edge. A portion of your current offer falls outside the customer’s

“value perimeter.”• Outside edge. The gaps at the margin, where aspects of customer wants

and needs are unmet.• Perpendicular edge. Where assets, competencies, and capabilities can be

used in different contexts or for a different set of customers.

With engaging examples from across industries, the book is a compact, hands-on guide for growing your business by getting more from assets already in place and investments already made.

A method for creating new ventures that are sustainable, efficient, practical, and successful

Silicon Valley’s current approach to creating new ventures produces a huge amount of lost capital, time, and effort.

The problem is that entrepreneurs become overly enamored of their technology and universities, companies, and governments pour billions into primary research without considering the end user. Everyone ends up disappointed and angry when such efforts fail. Then they sigh and start again.

Henry Kressel and Norman Winarsky—two technologists with an exemplary track record for launching successful ventures—have the antidote. If You Really Want to Change the World introduces their deceptively simple method—assess the market opportunity, find the technology to fill the gap, assemble the right team, and then launch. Of course, the hard part is the execution, so with engaging “lived” examples the authors guide the reader through their tried and tested methods.

A simple framework that explains how value is created and captured when companies combine resources, and how this mixing of assets and capabilities is fundamental to competitive advantage

Alliances, partnerships, acquisitions, mergers, and joint ventures are no longer exceptions in most businesses—they are part of core strategy. Author Benjamin Gomes-Casseres shares insight from decades of consulting and academic research on how companies create new value by “remixing” resources with other companies.

Organized around a simple framework of three laws, Remix Strategy explains how companies can gain the most profit from their business combinations:• First Law: The amount of value created by the combination of resources

should exceed the total that would be generated by each player alone.• Second Law: The combination must be designed and managed to realize

that joint value in reality, not just on paper.• Third Law: Each participant gets what he or she earns.

This book provides a practical framework for creating and capturing value, regardless of the path chosen.

Remix StrategyThe Three Laws of Business CombinationsB E N JA M I N G O M E S - C A S S E R E S

Ben Gomes-Casseres has researched this topic for 20 years, taught it to MBAs and executives, and consulted with major companies in the U.S. and abroad. He is best known for his work on alliance strategy. He is a professor at Brandeis University and was previously at Harvard Business School. He is the author of four books and many articles.

Without a proper understanding of the political economy, managers risk inadvertently damaging their business

In the wake of the financial crisis, managers, CEOs, and politicians have turned their eyes toward the relationship between business and government, as well as the distribution of national income and wealth.

Unsurprisingly, the debate often becomes politically charged. In America much of the talk about “competitiveness” has been dominated by the political right, opposed to government intervention and continued governmental borrowing. In keeping with their contemporary politics, their version of America’s history is about entrepreneurship, bootstrapping, and a level playing field devoid of government “influence,” let alone “intervention.”

Cohen and DeLong are writing a correction to this view that demonstrates the relationship between business and government that has worked to make America a great nation. While the invisible hand has certainly played a role in the development of the economy (in America and across the globe), government investment and attention often tipped the scales.

Jim Whitehurst thought he knew a lot about management. But when he became CEO of Red Hat, he realized you can’t advocate openness, transparency, and collaboration in business without also using those principles when managing.

In this book he examines “open management” and provides the blueprint for putting it into practice.

How do you pick the right strategy? It’s not that one approach is right and the others are wrong, but no one has explained how to decide which strategic approach to apply when—until now.

Based on global research by BCG, this is the strategy guide we have been lacking.

This landmark book, based on a study of over 100 CEOs, definitively shows that there is a clear relationship between high-character leaders and better business results. It reveals how leadership character is formed and how it creates value. It features techniques for assessing your own character, and explains how to strengthen the moral habits that drive success.

With an array of new technologies empowering customers, employees, and suppliers, tech guru Ray Wang says the business interactions that matter now are person to person (P2P), with organizations losing control over how they manage their brand. He analyzes the trends that businesses must start paying attention to in order to understand this new way of thinking about business.

Knowledge transfer is a pressing issue, not just as more employees retire but also as acquisitions, layoffs, promotions, transfers, and successions mean valuable knowledge is lost. The authors have constructed a new approach to help organizations pass along both explicit, documented knowledge and tacit knowledge from expert to successor.

Well Designed argues that industry disruption is possible not by adding features but by focusing on providing meaningful engagement with the people who use a product or service. The book outlines a repeatable, teachable set of steps for identifying lucrative opportunities, designing for innovation, and producing products that have deep, meaningful emotional engagement.
