Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economy The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent⠔but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of fitting in and going along spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate. Not every idea is good, and yes there are stupid questions, and yes dissent can slow things down, but talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process. People must be allowed to voice half-finished thoughts, ask questions from left field, and brainstorm out loud; it creates a culture in which a minor flub or momentary lapse is no big deal, and where actual mistakes are owned and corrected, and where the next left-field idea could be the next big thing. This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario-based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation. Explore the link between psychological safety and high performanceCreate a culture where it⠙s ⠜safe⠝ to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakesNurture the level of engagement and candor required in today⠙s knowledge economyFollow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organization Shed the yes-men approach and step into real performance.

Find success and create organisational change by focusing on your own happiness and wellbeing Written by Lauri-Ann Ainsworth, CEO of the Richard Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship Caribbean, the region s foremost business accelerator, The Self-Love Mindset: Why Personal Wellbeing is the Ultimate Business Strategy shares a deeply personal journey, revealing how true successâ ”both personal and professionalâ ”begins with self-love. Ainsworth believes that people are at the heart of every business. When individuals are empowered to love and care for themselves, that love naturally extends to the organization and even the community they serve. This book is about more than just professional successâ ”it s about creating environments where people thrive because they feel seen, valued, and encouraged to be their best selves. The magic of The Self-Love Mindset lies in three core pillars: Love Yourself through Self-Care: When individuals take responsibility for their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, they become more resilient. They can rise above daily stresses and challenges, fuelling themselves from within and bringing their best energy into the workplace - whether leading a team, running a business, or pursuing personal projects. Know Yourself through Self-Awareness: Self-awareness helps people uncover their inner strengths and understand the environment that allows them to thrive. When individuals align their strengths with their work, they not only improve their own performance but also create and contribute to a positive, collaborative company culture. Create Value by Being of Service: Extending self-love through service is how individuals create lasting value, whether in a team, business, or community. When driven by purpose, you contribute meaningfully, enriching both your own life and the lives of others. Ainsworth argues that businesses are only as strong as the people who power them. No matter the context, self-love and personal well-being are at the core of sustained success. When individuals take care of themselves, align their strengths with their work, and serve others, they create a foundation for success that transcends any specific role or career path. In today s rapidly changing world, the businesses that will excel are those that recognize the value of their people and foster a culture of self-love and well-being. It s not just about perks or compensationâ ”it s about creating an environment where individuals feel empowered to be their authentic selves, where their personal growth is aligned with the growth of the organization. When people love themselves, that love extends to their work, the organization, and ultimately the community. This is the future of business success. The Self-Love Mindset is a blueprint for creating that changeâ ”showing that when people come first, business goals are not only met, they are exceeded. Empowering individuals to embrace self-love will be the game-changer that defines which organizations thrive in the next generation.

A revelatory assessment of workplace inequality in high-status jobs that focuses on a new explanation for a pernicious problem: racial discomfort.  America⠙s elite law firms, investment banks, and management consulting firms are known for grueling hours, low odds of promotion, and personnel practices that push out any employees who don⠙t advance. While most people who begin their careers in these institutions leave within several years, work there is especially difficult for Black professionals, who exit more quickly and receive far fewer promotions than their White counterparts, hitting a ⠜Black ceiling.⠝  Sociologist and law professor Kevin Woodson knows firsthand what life at a top law firm feels like as a Black man. Examining the experiences of more than one hundred Black professionals at prestigious firms, Woodson discovers that their biggest obstacle in the workplace isn⠙t explicit bias but racial discomfort, or the unease Black employees feel in workplaces that are steeped in Whiteness. He identifies two types of racial discomfort: social alienation, the isolation stemming from the cultural exclusion Black professionals experience in White spaces, and stigma anxiety, the trepidation they feel over the risk of discriminatory treatment. While racial discomfort is caused by America⠙s segregated social structures, it can exist even in the absence of racial discrimination, which highlights the inadequacy of the unconscious bias training now prevalent in corporate workplaces. Firms must do more than prevent discrimination, Woodson explains, outlining the steps that firms and Black professionals can take to ease racial discomfort.  Offering a new perspective on a pressing social issue, The Black Ceiling is a vital resource for leaders at preeminent firms, Black professionals and students, managers within mostly White organizations, and anyone committed to cultivating diverse workplaces.

It can look like the disappointment of an HR professional when a candidate for a new position asks about maternity leave.

Ideal for every manager who wants to understand and move past their own preconceived ideas, Unconscious Bias explains that bias is the result of mental shortcuts, our likes and dislikes, and is a natural part of the human condition. And what we assume about each other and how we interact with one another has vast effects on our organisational success - especially in the workplace. Teaching you how to overcome unconscious bias, this book provides more than thirty unique tools, such as a prep worksheet and a list of ways to reframe your unconscious thoughts.

With the pull of the familial so strong, we unconsciously re-enact our personal past in our professional present - even when it holds us back.Through intimate stories, fascinating insights and provocative questions, business psychotherapist Naomi Shragai will transform how you think about yourself and your working life. Based on thirty years of expertise and practice, Shragaiwill show you that what is holding you back is within your gift to change - and the first step is to realise how you, like the rest of the people you work with, habitually confuse your professional present with your personal past.

By 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 or older. The ageing population will affect all levels and arenas of Singapore society; individuals, families, and even organisations. The financial implications of this demographic transition have been a key concern for the government. Against the above backdrop, this book seeks to achieve the following. Firstly, to provide readers with a better understanding of the physical and psychological changes and illnesses as they age. Secondly, it looks at the infrastructure and tools to enable seniors to age-in-place as well as the necessary support and training for family and caregivers. The third aim highlights how and why we need to integrate older workers fully into the workplace, as well as the changes needed to attain this goal. Finally, this book emphasises that ageing should not be seen in a negative light and that there are vast opportunities and dividends that could result from longevity in the 21st century. Ultimately, the goal of this book is to facilitate older adults to age gracefully in Singapore, living out their golden years with dignity in the community, and be given the opportunities to continue to contribute meaningfully to society and live purposeful lives.

The Viking Great Army that landed in East Anglia in late 865 had a lasting impact on English society, culture, politics, and economy.The Viking Great Army landed in East Anglia in late 865 and over the following fifteen years it fought numerous battles in all four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, made and broke peace treaties, and deposed or killed at least three Anglo-Saxon kings, replacing them with its own appointees. It had a major impact on English society, initiating extensive transformations in Anglo-Saxon society, culture, economy, and political organisation. Previous Viking armies had raided only in the summer months, but the Great Army was a constant presence over this period, overwintering at various locations in northern and eastern England.This presence changed the political, economic, and social landscape of England forever, but historical sources say very little about it. Now, new archaeological evidence has revealed the location of two of its camps, and at least fifty other places it visited. This book describes life in the tents and towns that the Viking Great Army inhabited: the treasure, tools, and weapons found in the camps and what they reveal about how the groups that made up the Army lived and the activities that took place, including the processing and trading of loot, the minting of coins, and the manufacture of jewellery. What emerges is evidence of a rich and diverse community whose impact on England can be traced to the present day.
