The future of business will be all about “business as unusual”. The rising wave of new technology in particular means companies and individuals will experience change at a rate and scale that will surprise many. In this book, a leading futurist and consultant provides a unique perspective for understanding and managing such change. Stefan Hyttfors draws from the idea of yogic philosophy and the concept of mind mastery to help managers address the future of uncertainty. He weaves together cutting edge technology with ancient Indian philosophy to increase business leaders’ understanding of how everything is interconnected, and how current problems on a macro level and disruptive technologies (as solutions) will change the world. Moreover, he argues that the successful management of rapid change can be achieved through a deeper understanding of human consciousness.

Dr. William A. Cohen was the first graduate of the doctorial program that Peter Drucker co-founded.

He is the bestselling author of The Practical Drucker and Drucker on Marketing.

Peter Drucker is known worldwide as The Father of Modern Management. But he was also the world’s most famous and successful independent consultant. The methods developed

by Drucker remain highly relevant and continue to be used in today’s organizations. This book, written by Drucker’s first executive PhD graduate of the program he developed, is the first book to reveal in detail Drucker s methods and ideas as a consultant. Jack Welch noted that his success at GE was based on Drucker’s consulting advice. Bill Bartmann became the 25th wealthiest man in America at one point.

Lost it all and bounced back. He, too, has mentioned Drucker’s advice in helping with his success. This book is an encyclopedia of Drucker’s consulting approaches and how and when to apply them. Any consultant will find this book invaluable. However, executives and managers will also gain new insight into Drucker’s thinking and methods, and why they continue to have such tremendous influence over today’s organizations.

We live in a world of constant change and disruption caused mainly by new technology. Yet, in business, there is widespread apathy, paralysis and confusion in many established companies in face of the obvious scope, scale, reach and pace of disruptive change.

Why? Because Denial is the natural default response, given how executives’ brains function and how they are trained. This important book examines why companies seem paralysed in the headlights of onrushing digital and other disruption. In analysing and understanding this tendency towards denial in companies, the author is then able to guide executives to begin seeing a new perspective to coping with the transformation challenge that faces them. Full of insightful case studies and lessons gained from the author’s work with leading companies, this is a hugely timely book when virtually all companies and executives must deal with the threat of disruptive change.

In 2012, the Chinese company Huawei Technologies overtook Ericsson to become the world’s largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer, firmly establishing itself on the world business map. Today, it has over 170,000 employees worldwide and in 2014 the company generated a remarkable profit of $5.5 billion. Whilst research and development and the technology that results from it are core drivers of Huawei’s success, the company’s amazing growth is also determined by its human resource strategy.

This is based on a “customer-first” attitude, the belief that obtaining opportunities is through hard work and, above all, “a dedication to do the best in anything we do”. How Huawei promotes this dedication amongst its workforce is the subject of this important book.

Steven D’Souza is a corporate educator, consultant and author of the bestselling Brilliant Networking.

Diana Renner is senior facilitator and coach.

Knowledge and expertise are highly valued in today’s business world. These values are introduced at an early age by our education system, and at work, we are assessed based on what we know, on having the answers and solutions. Our need for certainty, to know what’s going on, to have all the answers, exerts strong pressure in our lives. Winner of the prestigious CMI “Best Management Book of the Year” award, this new edition of Not Knowing offers an alternative, contrarian approach to dealing with such pressures – and to embrace “not knowing” rather than fearing it. The authors argue it is by “not knowing” that we in fact develop an exploratory mindset, and we discover, engage and create new ways to deal with business and management problems and issues. “A compelling, contrarian book with a powerful message” – Daniel Pink, author of Drive and To Sell is Human.

In today’s business world, business organizations experience unprecedented levels of disruption and can only expect the unexpected! While they must perform in a VUCA world (one characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity), their ability to OODA (observe, orient, decide and act) is no longer enough to survive and thrive amidst disorder.

While agility is quintessential for adapting in this new reality, antifragility is quintessential for evolving in this new reality. Conclusively, business organizations must embrace this new reality and emerge stronger.

In this book, Si Alhir demystifies antifragility, explores how antifragility may be operationalized or put into practice by business organizations (at the individual, collective, and enterprise level), and offers an actionable roadmap for how business organizations can achieve greater antifragility.

Andy Law is one of the world’s most respected and radical thinkers and practitioners in marketing and business. He is the author of Open Minds and Implosion.

The realm of the “personal” is now increasingly touched by technology – especially the Internet. This readjustment has had one significant effect: it has taught individuals a range of skills that would normally be in the domain of businesses. Ordinary people now behave as businesses do by using buying strategies to get costs down. In fact, we have become so businesslike as individuals that marketers need to get rid of the processes of “Business-to-Consumer” communication, and begin to adopt the rules of “Business-to-Business” when talking to consumers. Such change of our lives is an explosion of the new – new thinking, new business, new relationships, new selling, new buying, new leisure, new humans.

In this age of diversity and values, managers who want to succeed must focus on employee relationships and motivation. In this counter-intuitive book, the author argues that no one is perfect and that success as a leader is not about being perfect; it is about accepting your own humanity and adopting a number of down-to-earth attitudes and values. That’s when we achieve true success. Through ten commandments, management expert Kelly Odell provides a new, inspirational perspective on how we should behave as managers in this age of differing cultures and values. How we think about people, motivation, power and relationships is the foundation for successful management. With a refreshing and practical approach, Odell explains that a leader whose priority is on other people is more likely to create value for their company and succeed as a manager.

Kenneth Mikkelsen and Richard Martin are consultants who specialize in organizational design and corporate culture.

We live in a world of hyper specialism. We construct our own localized, closed system. Our system then fails, our specialism suddenly rendered redundant.

The expertise we valued so highly has served to narrow and shorten our vision and blinded us to opportunity.

There is the need and place for both specialist and the generalist. Currently, it feels the balance is tipped too far towards specialism, which results in too much blinkered decision-making. The authors call for people to develop into generalists. These are people who possess both a breadth and depth of skills, knowledge and experience.

These are most definitely not jack of all trades, masters of none. Rather, they are people who have the potential, the attitude and the aptitude to specialize in more than one discipline, and are adept at navigating the digital, networked world we inhabit today.

What is it about certain individuals that inspire not only themselves, but also the people around them, organizations and even whole nations to be more creative, innovative and transformational? The core premise of the book is that inspiring leaders are not successful because of what they do, but because of who they are. A certain sense of being comes with deeper levels of awareness, which turns ordinary people into inspiring leaders. Whether you are a CEO, a director, a student, a parent or merely someone who wants to inspire and make a positive difference in the world, reaching deeper levels of awareness is what will help you make that difference.

Human creativity has been one of the fundamental drivers of civilization and progress – solving immense problems, creating opportunities and overcoming enemies like no other force. Often it has baffled its skeptics by finding new and better resources, unexpected environmental technologies and genuinely amazing products that no one had predicted.

However, like so many before it, Western civilization is now suffering from serious internal decay with its bloated public sectors, punitive taxes, over-regulation, marginalized citizens, stagnation, debt, unemployment and pessimism. This important and fascinating book (now updated) explains why internal decay is normal.

But it also shows how and why solutions can be found by countries and companies enabling more creativity and adaptability than ever before. It’s through the power of creativity that society and business can overcome the challenges and crises of today.

Pedro Nueno is Professor in the Department of Entrepreneurship, IESE and Professor and President of CEIBS in Shanghai.

In today’s fast-paced, turbulent business markets, boards of directors have become important instruments for the management of companies. This, together with legislative changes and the increase in directors’ responsibilities, demands a serious reassessment of company governance. Furthermore, today’s boards need greater agility and to be more conscious of innovation and technological progress. This book addresses the most pressing changes companies will undergo over the next five years, and in doing so, illustrates the way directors should behave and how company boards should approach the critical issues facing modern-day corporations. The author argues that boards of directors should attain a higher level of professionalism and key aspects of the board – including its organization, composition, duration and remuneration – should undergo detailed review in order for the boards of the future to fulfil their duties.

In today’s fast-paced, competitive market place, it is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to differentiate themselves from their competition and to maintain market position and improve profits. One of the few ways left to create sustainable differentiation is by providing an excellent service experience. Customerdriven organizations maintain a base of loyal customers by recognizing that service is fundamental to maintaining a competitive advantage. These organizations have a clear purpose and strong leadership, and have established cultural and behavioral norms (or even “rules”) that guide everyone on how to function within the organization. This book explains how the environment and culture created in some of the world’s greatest customer-focused companies resembles the mindset created by a cult. It is by understanding the “anatomy” of such companies that we, too, can embark upon a journey of customer excellence within our companies.

For some, it’s about status and financial wealth.

Authentic success is by its very nature a personal journey of exploration and there are usually no rights and wrongs to each journey. What matters is whether it resonates with you.

Simon Tyler is the author of The Impact Code and is a much sought-after business coach who works with some of the world’s leading companies.

The definition of attitude: an expression of favour or disfavour toward a person, thing or event. As human beings, we often find ourselves locked into certain habits, patterns and behaviours. However, that is not to say we do not have a choice, especially when it comes to our attitude toward people, situations and outcomes. In this original and engaging book, a leading business coach demonstrates how we can shift our attitudes to create positive change and outcomes in our work and personal lives. In doing so, he helps us to reassess our current habits and behaviours, and makes us realize the wider choices we have in coping and dealing with people, issues and problems in our everyday lives.
