The Ethical Imperative: Leading with Conscience to Shape the Future of Business by Andrew Cooper

In an era marked by increasing profiteering and inequality, The Ethical Imperative offers a compelling alternative vision―one where companies champion the collective prosperity of employees, shareholders, and communities. Cooper leverages academic studies and research to challenge the status quo. He exposes the critical threat of public disengagement from businesses and institutions, urging a departure from outdated, profit-only models that harm corporations, consumers, and communities alike.

Smart Rivals: How Innovative Companies Play Games That Tech Giants Can't Win by Feng Zhu and Bonnie Yining Cao

Companies are fighting the wrong battle. The consensus has been to learn the best practices from tech giants and then imitate them. But new paths for growth aren't created by imitation; they're forged by radical differentiation. In Smart Rivals, Harvard Business School professor Feng Zhu and former Bloomberg journalist Bonnie Yining Cao show business leaders how to create competitive advantages by offering product features and benefits that tech giants and other competitors cannot match in the digital/AI age.

Fierce Resilience: Combatting Workplace Stress One Conversation at a Time by Edward Beltran / Foreword by Susan Scott

Technology, isolation, and increasing demands for productivity are making the workplace a hotbed for stress—it's no surprise employees are abandoning traumatic workplaces in unprecedented numbers. Ed Beltran, the CEO of a powerhouse leadership communication company, believes the antidote to stressed-out workplaces starts with conversation. This is no ordinary self-help book. The transformative process of fierce resilience goes well beyond developing mere coping skills. It helps people take control of their emotional health, become more resilient, and build organizations with resilience as a core part of their DNA.

Elevate Your Excellence: The Power of Doing Ordinary Things Extraordinarily Well by Dave Anderson

How you do anything is how you do everything. Great performance, whether at work or at home, starts with the little things: making your bed, organizing your closet, maintaining your yard, shooting a basketball, closing a deal. Elevate Your Excellence offers a foolproof approach to improve the often-neglected everyday disciplines like hydration, sleep quality, and mindset maintenance that can make all the difference in generating high-quality performance. Anderson encourages readers to make simple and immediately actionable tweaks to begin doing ordinary things extraordinarily well to transform their lives.
