Wall Street Journal Bestseller"A useful, forcefully written, and wide-ranging study of inequities-and how to fix them." -Kirkus ReviewsWhat if we could go beyond the conversation about diversity and take real action?In early 2021, more than two hundred widely respected experts gathered virtually for the world's most ambitious conversation about diversity. Our aim was to do more than spotlight injustice. We challenged ourselves to imagine how to fix it. The dialogue brought together casting directors, bookstore owners, disabled leaders, healthcare professionals, students, VCs, standup comedians, chief diversity officers, pro gamers, archaeologists, government insiders, startup founders, and even a master puppeteer.Now for the first time, these solutions are compiled into one groundbreaking volume organized into twelve powerful themes including: storytelling, technology, identity, retail, education and more. Each chapter paints a revealing picture of the world, how it is, how it could be and what needs to happen for us to get there. For newcomers to the topic of diversity, and DEI experts alike, this book offers a much-needed actionable blueprint for creating a more inclusive world for us all.

"If the AI transition goes well, human labor becomes obsolete. Furthermore, at technological maturity, human nature becomes entirely malleable. We will thus enter a condition of 'post-instrumentality', in which our efforts are not needed for any practical purpose. In such a solved world, what is the point of human existence? What gives meaning to life? What do we do all day? Deep Utopia shines a new light on these old questions, giving us glimpses of a different kind of existence, which might be ours in the future." -- Dust jacket.

It's the age-old issue facing sales organizations. Sales training and enablement is focused on the sales team, not the leaders. The prevailing thought is if you have graduated to sales leadership, you must already know what you're doing, otherwise you wouldn't have been promoted into the role. For most sales leaders, their approach is borne from experiences working for and around other sales leaders. No formal training. No framework. Limited understanding of how individual salespeople are inspired to stay, do their best, and advocate to others. Hitting a revenue target is not the job, it's the outcome. The inspiration of your team is only "coin operated" if you're doing it wrong.But there's good news!Sales leadership doesn't have to be that hard. There's a massive opportunity to stand out from the rest; to be more prepared, more effective and to maximize the revenue capacity of your teams. And in today's environment, where the physical and emotional cost of changing sales jobs is practically non-existent, the ability to recruit, retain and optimize has never been more important. The Transparent Sales Leader challenges long-held sales leadership standards, providing a modern, cards-face-up, science-backed, easy-to-implement framework for today's sales leaders.Todd Caponi, author of The Transparency Sale, brings the science of transparency and intrinsic inspiration to the pages of this book, in a simple-to-understand-and-implement structure to help you get the job, plan, strategize and communicate to your team, your bosses, and even your board. In the end, you'll see the holes before they form. You'll stop chasing, and start growing.

Many companies make disruption their goal. They believe that if they develop the right innovation, they will disrupt their markets forever and drive the kind of growth worthy of a magazine cover story. But as bestselling author Charlene Li explains, that's not how disruption works. Disruption doesn't create growth; instead, growth creates disruption.Growth is always hard, and disruptive growth is exponentially harder. It requires companies to make tough decisions in the face of daunting uncertainties: Should we bet our company's future on next-generation customers or today's reliable ones? Should we abandon our current business model for an entirely new one? Making bold changes demands bold leadership and, often, massive cultural transformation.Over the years, Li has seen some organizations beat the odds and succeed at becoming disruptive: Adobe, ING Bank, Nokia, Southern New Hampshire University, and T-Mobile, among them. Their stories make it clear that organizations don't have to be tech start-ups or have the latest innovations to transform. What they need to do is develop a disruptive mindset that permeates every aspect of the organization. Li lays out how to do so by focusing on three elements:a strategy designed to meet the needs of future customers;leadership that creates a movement to drive and sustain transformation; anda culture that thrives on disruptive change.Drawing on interviews with some of the most audacious people driving disruptive transformation today, Li will inspire leaders at all levels to answer the call to lead disruptive transformation in their organizations, communities, and society.
