Power to the Middle
If you're thinking of cutting your midlevel managers in the new world of work, think again. "Middle manager." The term evokes a bygone industrial era in which managers functioned like cogs in a vast bureaucratic machine. In recent decades, midlevel managers became a favorite target for the chopping block—underappreciated, often considered a superfluous layer of the organization. Not only does this outdated perspective need to change, but the future demands it. In Power to the Middle, McKinsey thought leaders Bill Schaninger, Bryan Hancock, and Emily Field call for a profound reimagining of managers and their roles. They explain how middle managers are uniquely positioned close to the groun...

Embattled Projects
In the business world, projects often fail—and no wonder! Many issues that rarely get resolved independently all come together to battle it out, destroying good intentions. Gwyn Myers’s frustration over failure did not come as an overnight Ah ha! after a short period of observation or involvement. Instead, it came after more than thirty years of serving in management positions. During one particularly exasperating moment, Gwyn wondered, What would Jesus do? Though He wasn’t technically in the business field, did He have these types of problems? As she began to look more closely at His ministry, she realized, Yes, He did. Jesus, His disciples, prophets, and others had to deal with the same problems we face today. Embattled Projects is an insightful business guide drawing on Biblical principles and professional experience to provide advice on the topics most relevant to an organization’s success, including clear, effective communication; conflict management; decision-making; time management; and leadership. Biblical examples and practical experiences will solve the problematic pieces of any project, and success will follow.

The author draws on recent research which focuses on Integral theory and emphasises the benefits to an organisation, including cultivating, at several levels, leaders and teams through coaching, improving the quality of m...
The Value of Values
How business leaders can grow profits and competitive advantage by doing the right thing. Acting on values—doing good for the benefit of all—can substantially benefit the bottom line, but many business leaders mistakenly believe that doing the right thing lowers profits. This belief is the greatest barrier holding businesses back from being more financially and competitively successful—and delivering more good for the world. Not only can it be a winning business strategy to act on values, as Daniel Aronson suggests in The Value of Values, but it is also a savvy choice, increasing a company’s power, profit, and competitive advantage—in many cases with little additional investment or...
