ReOrg
A Practical Guide in Five Steps Most executives will lead or be a part of a reorganization effort (a reorg) at some point in their careers. And with good reason—reorgs are one of the best ways for companies to unlock latent value, especially in a changing business environment. But everyone hates them. No other management practice creates more anxiety and fear among employees or does more to distract them from their day-to-day jobs. As a result, reorgs can be incredibly expensive in terms of senior-management time and attention, and most of them fail on multiple dimensions. It’s no wonder companies treat a reorg as a mysterious process and outsource it to people who don’t understand the...

Wavewalker: a Memoir of Breaking Free
"Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned instead into a decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with little formal schooling. No one else knew where they were most of the time and no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking water... At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK. From the bestselling author of What Does Jeremy Think?, Wavewalker is the incredible true story of how the adventure of a lifetime became one child's worst nightmare - and how her determination to educate herself enabled her to escape"--Publisher's description.
Suzanne Heywood
Suzanne Elizabeth Heywood, Baroness Heywood of Whitehall, CBE, was born on February 25, 1969, in Southampton, England. Her early years were far from conventional. Suzanne, known as Suzanne Cook in her youth, embarked on an extraordinary journey that began when her family sold their home and a family-owned hotel to set sail around the world in a schooner named Wavewalker. What was meant to be a three-year adventure turned into a decade-long odyssey, retracing the voyages of the famed explorer Captain Cook. During this maritime adventure, Suzanne's life took a dramatic turn when, at the age of eight, Wavewalker was caught in a fierce storm between Africa and Australia. Suzanne, below deck at the time, suffered a severe head injury that required multiple surgeries. Her father, who had been thrown overboard, was saved by his lifeline, and the rest of the crew escaped with minor injuries. This harrowing experience marked the beginning of a life that would be characterized by resilience and determination.
