Henry Rose Lee started coaching on the school bus at the age of 12 when she discovered one of her friends in tears over the recent death of her mother. When everyone else was too embarrassed to talk to this girl, Henry Rose simply took her hand and sat and listened. Together the two children grieved and giggled, plotted and planned to make their adolescent goals and dreams come true. But it was a decade or two before Henry Rose became a professional coach. In 2014, one of her C-suite coaching clients was struggling to succeed in a new post and she realised that all those books about leadership didn't cover those first critical days when it's 'make or break'. Her book offers a code of conduct for new leaders so that they can be effective in role as quickly as possible and not take 90 days.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured our imaginations—and become a distraction. Too many leaders embrace the oversized narratives of artificial minds outpacing human intelligence and lose sight of the original problems they were meant to solve. When businesses try to “do AI,” they place an abstract solution before problems and customers without fully considering whether it is wise, whether the hype is true, or how AI will impact their organization in the long term. Often absent is sound reasoning for why they should go down this path in the first place. Doing AI explores AI for what it actually is—and what it is not— and the problems it can truly solve. In these pages, author ...

"In Raising the Dead, A. J. Stirland uses archaeological and skeletal evidence to give the reader a welcome insight into the lives of the mariners and soldiers of the Mary Rose, from their ages and height to their health, diet and physical condition. This book examines the building, sinking and raising of the Mary Rose and her historical context before moving on to the examination of what the remains of the crew can reveal to us about fighting men of that period. Many new findings have been made through analysis of their bones, including the effects of some activities and occupations on the skeletons of the men.".
