While big tech companies, such as Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, and new wave tech start-ups often dominate the press and swallow up huge amounts of investment, at the core of established companies are qualities that remain highly relevant in the digital age. They are often market leaders for good reason — they know their customers and markets well, and they have great product, sales, and marketing expertise. They are also operationally savvy and financially strong.

Recognized as one of Thinkers50’s top thought leaders in management, Julian Birkinshaw’s new book, Resurgent, is a practical handbook exploring how established businesses can use their unique advantages to fight back and win in a digital arena often dominated by tech start-ups, disruptors, and unicorns.

Build unshakable confidence, break through fear, and live an inspired life with Juan Bendaña’s practical, research-backed framework that transforms small steps into big changes!

The missing link between you and everything you want to achieve is self-confidence. The problem? Confidence is hard to build, and even when we do, it often feels temporary and forced.

After years of research and working with over 250,000 individuals, Juan’s uncovered the four myths about confidence that actually cause and reinforce self-doubt. To combat these myths, Juan developed the Confidence Cycle, a repeatable flywheel that will help you gain and sustain confidence in every aspect of life through three key decisions:

1. Micro-energy: Direct excitement toward the area of improvement.
2. Micro-courage: Find the bravery to move through discomfort.
3. Micro-action: Complete a small action.

The result? Micro-proof and boost of confidence. This actionable and hands-on guide will jumpstart your confidence and help you build lasting courage to be your best self and face life’s inevitable challenges.

With distance comes perspective. In his new book, co-authored with Michael Gillespie, the bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around! and former US Navy Captain David Marquet shows readers how to make better decisions by becoming your own coach.

The biggest obstacle to making wiser decisions that actually drive lasting success, he says, is ourselves. We need to exit our me-here-and-now self and get an outside perspective that sees us and the situation we are in objectively. We need a coach.

This book shows us how to become our own coach by using a mental technique called psychological distancing. We do this in three ways: self-distancing, spatial distancing, and temporal distancing. The result is a powerful and immediate reframe of how we see ourselves, our situation, and what we should do.

Featuring compelling scientific research, business cases, and exercises, Distancing equips readers with effective practical tools to reduce anxiety, see more clearly, and make better decisions for ourselves and for our organizations.
