The geek way : the radical mindset that drives extraordinary results / by McAfee, Andrew,author.; Hoffman, Reid,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."We're living in a time of amazing technological innovation, but we're not paying enough attention to one of the most important innovations of all-one that's going to be a wellspring of progress for a long time to come. This innovation lies with the company itself-the collection of people and assets brought together to create goods and services and bring them to market. And, as Andrew McAfee persuasively argues, this new model is pioneered by geeks who are instituting a radical new mindset, shifting the paradigm of what a business can-and should-be"--

Competing in the new world of work : how radical adaptability separates the best from the rest / by Ferrazzi, Keith,author.; Gohar, Kian,author.; Weyrich, Noel,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The #1 New York Times bestselling author and longtime leader in the discussion of the future of work provides research-based insights and best practices for leading change in the ever-evolving post-pandemic world of work. The pandemic forced your organization to shed antiquated systems, processes, and procedures and to make a bold leap into an even more digitally enabled, technology-driven future. After months of adapting, your teams have settled into new, often better, ways of doing things. But there isn't yet a shared base of knowledge of what's worked, what hasn't, and what could work better as companies reinvent everything they do-or how they can emerge stronger and leap ahead farther coming out of the pandemic and beyond. Which new practices, adopted in response to the crisis, are here to stay and will go forward into the post-pandemic era? How are leaders reshaping their organizations for a different, post-Covid world? How do these new practices and behaviors add up to a new playbook for success? New York Times bestselling author Keith Ferrazzi offers a bold new vision for what the organization of the future looks like-digital, distributed, inclusive, resilient, empathic-and the emerging best leadership practices that will redefine success in the ever-evolving world of work. Based on an ambitious global research initiative involving thousands of executives, innovators, and changemakers who have redefined their strategies, business models, organizational systems, and even their cultures, this book documents the workplace innovations that emerged during the pandemic and shows leaders how to shape their organizations and practices to remain competitive in a new, post-pandemic context. Competing in the New World of Work offers leaders the inspiration and the road map to catapult their organizations forward, make up for lost time, embrace new realities, and win new frontiers"--

Quit like a woman : the radical choice to not drink in a culture obsessed with alcohol / by Whitaker, Holly,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."For years, Holly Whitaker wore her workaholic-party-girl persona as a badge of honor, while privately feeling increasingly miserable. She believed that if she could just eat cleaner, save more money, and be more perfect, her life would finally snap into place. Yet all of her attempts to fix herself just added up to more chaos and the chaos added up to more pain and so she added more wine. When she finally had enough and started looking around for help, she was shocked to find that the only systems in place to support her quitting drinking were archaic, patriarchal, and ineffective for the unique needs of women. The Alcoholics Anonymous model focused on strict anonymity, making the ego the enemy, and surrendering power, voice, and agency to a male concept of God. But Holly instinctively knew that what she needed was a deeper understanding of her own identity, the courage to take control of her own life, and to be embraced by a supportive and vocal community. What's more, she could not ignore the ways that alcohol companies were targeting women, just as the tobacco industry had successfully done generations before. Holly became resolute-- not only did she have to find her way out of her own addiction, she felt a calling to create something bigger, so that women anywhere on the drinking continuum might find their way as well. The result is her company, Tempest, which provides the education to address the root cause of addiction, the tools to break the cycle of addiction, and the community necessary to build a life free from alcohol. Written in a unique voice that is relatable, honest, and witty, Quit Like a Woman is a groundbreaking look at the insidious role alcohol plays in our lives. Holly offers up a clear-eyed recovery model that banishes the punitive approach to quitting espoused by male-centric programs like AA and provides a positive alternative to living our best lives without the crutch of intoxication. Holly details what makes us sick, keeps us out of our power, and what is possible when we remove alcohol and destroy our belief system around it"--
