Waggish Chronicles of a Maverick in a Corporate World
Tony Cooke is no ordinary director of a world-renowned sports brand-just ask anyone who has worked with him across the UK or France or Holland or Spain or Sweden or Germany!A great innovator, he has inspired and motivated countless people while roguishly testing the patience of some of his more conventional masters at HQ in Germany. Tony's distinctive leadership style, based on winning hearts and minds and ensuring every employee has a clear sense of purpose, has won him many admirers and led to several requests (sometimes with noticeable trepidation...) from HQ to lead projects across Europe and globally around people management and organisational development.In Waggish Chronicles, Tony reflects on two decades spent as both a Human Resources Director and later as Vice President of Human Resources for one of the world's largest and most successful organisations. His roles have ranged from psychologist, storyteller, parish priest, and confidant, to motivator, consigliere, and raconteur-not to mention having to contend with accusations of being involved in the mafia...Told with pride and no shortage of irreverent humour, Tony's story explores the trials and tribulations of trying to balance a desire to be fresh and innovative with the more controlling and supervisory style of a corporate HQ.Waggish Chronicles defies easy categorisation. It's hilarious and insightful and filled with thought-provoking observations. Aspiring people managers and leaders will find it a valuable resource for practical ideas and inspiration, but it's also very much a memoir written with humility and self-deprecating light-heartedness in equal measure.

Orchestrating Connection
We are more "connected" than ever-yet paradoxically lonelier and more isolated. The need for meaningful connection has never been more profound. Orchestrating Connection: How to Build Purposeful Community in a Tribal World is a call to action for anyone concerned about this fragmentation, offering a compelling vision of how to weave genuine relationships that foster belonging, collaboration, and collective impact. The future belongs not to accidental collections of neighbors or aggrieved online groups, but to communities built with intention, guiding principles, and a give-and-give attitude.Orchestrating Connection doesn't just provide a new way to think about our social world--it's a how-to blueprint for creating the DNA to build it. Weaving together the key principles of diversity, vulnerability, curiosity, generosity, and gratitude, the authors describe how consistent rituals, explicitly communicated values and expectations, and a carefully crafted culture help solidify each community's collective identity.But the work of building your community--whether growing your own network or shaping a global movement--begins with personal clarity. You can't effectively participate in or lead a community without first understanding your own purpose. The journey thus begins at the individual level: identifying what you stand for, what you truly need, and how you can leverage that deep understanding to draw others into conversation with you.Ultimately, this book is an invitation to redefine community. Whether you're an activist aiming to mobilize a grassroots initiative, an executive reshaping a company's culture, or an individual seeking personal transformation, this book provides a roadmap for forging intentional, empathic communities.Orchestrating Connection is therefore poised to spark a larger movement--one that can inspire and empower us to replace isolation with purpose and genuine belonging."In team sports, you may excel as an individual, but you only win as a tight knit group. That group, in essence, is a community because what you bring to the game, and how you act off the court, all informs that subtle dynamic of what makes a group champions. Orchestrating Connection systematically creates the rituals for self-work to develop self-worth, and for how we master our network to create teams that champion us as we champion them."-Candace Parker, former WNBA forward, Sports Anchor, and Author"Wow. I haven't been this inspired about the future of human connection since I read The Art of Gatheringby Priya Parker. The prose shifts easily between gripping stories and practical insights on human connection. Required reading for anyone who loves bringing people together."-Andy Dunn, best-selling author of Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind and founding CEO of Pie and Bonobos"My life has been about family, bringing children joy and strengthening communities, both as a business leader and philanthropist. Our world needs a new perspectives on how to bring passionate, driven leaders together and this book delivers them. The work one must do personally and with whom one surrounds oneself is crucial to create ethical, accountable standards for the evolution of our society. Orchestrating Connection takes what we know and puts it together in a way that can bring about a systemic change in perspective."-Alan Hassenfeld, former Chairmen & CEO of Hasbro"Leadership in philanthropy is fundamentally about gathering and empowering others to help. This is whatOrchestrating Connection is about: the crucial insight that surrounding yo

The 55 Minutes
Albert Einstein is credited with saying, "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend fifty-five minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions." This book is about how to use those metaphorical first fifty-five minutes wisely. If we want to be successful when we innovate, act, or try to "change the system," we need to get serious about understanding the problem. But problems don't exist in a vacuum. They are enmeshed and ensnared in complexity. Moreover, the kinds of problems we face in our workplaces, institutions, and society at large are the results of systems. Unfortunately, the world that most of us inhabit is focused on those last five minutes-rushing headlong toward a "solution" without having understood the problem. This happens in virtually every industry, organization, and sector of society. It's one of the reasons most new businesses fail, most public policies are reactive, and "innovation" (whether commercial or social) spends far too much time in the unicorn-seeking land of hackathons, design sprints, and slick pitches, where confident answers make poor substitutes for authentic understanding. We work in "solutions-driven" companies, we expect governments to deliver rapid fixes, and we ask schools to teach and test for the "right" answers, instead of asking new and better questions. This book is an "atlas," an expansive compendium of foundational practices, concepts, frameworks, and tools for mapping and navigating systems. It will help you ask better questions and see deeper forces beneath the problems and symptoms visible on the surface. To those who lament that "the system is broken," "the system is rigged," or "it's a systemic problem," this is a guide to understanding those systems and hopefully feeling less helpless, alienated, and confused. The world is not linear, binary, or static. It is rich with complex systems, and it is changing rapidly and radically. But in order to keep up, we need to slow down and think. Set your watch to The 55 Minutes-your compass amid complexity.

Introduction to Islamic Economics and Finance
This book - a collection of papers from a special issue on Islamic Economics and Finance (IEF) published in the Singapore Economic Review - focuses on providing financial services to the growing Muslim population based on Islamic principles, particularly the prohibition of interest-based transactions. The IEF industry has seen significant growth over the last two decades, primarily driven by the growth of Islamic banking. However, it has faced various challenges including competition from traditional finance, regulatory and accounting issues, harmonization of practices, and the impact of global crises.The collection highlights inconsistent findings on the performance of Islamic financial institutions compared to conventional banks, and the need to explore new dimensions beyond just comparisons. Lastly, it also emphasizes the importance of expanding Islamic finance beyond banking into non-banking sectors and using technology to improve financial inclusion. In conclusion, there is a noteworthy dominance of Islamic banking (over 70% of IEF activities) and research needs on leveraging fintech, automation and blockchain to expand the scope of Islamic finance.The volume provides an overview of the 20 papers included in the special issue, which are divided into five themes: (1) Islamic finance and disclosure governance, (2) market volatility linkages in Organization of Islamic Cooperation nations and institutions, (3) financial inclusion, efficiency, and growth in Islamic banks, (4) risk metrics of novel Islamic finance instruments, and (5) contemporary research applications.

Living Real
You've done everything "right." So why does it still feel "off"?You've powered through and built it-the career, house, family, success. You checked the boxes, stayed the course, and did what society expected.But there comes a moment, especially for high-performing professionals and leaders (maybe it's triggered by a loss, a transition, burnout, or a quiet whisper of unease), when you realize: you've been living on autopilot. Going through the motions. Performing a life, rather than truly inhabiting it.Living Real is your wake-up call. In this powerful, practical guide to real success, business psychologist Camille Preston, PhD, invites you to get radically honest with yourself. She introduces a new way of being-one rooted in presence, vulnerability, and emotional integrity. This is not about burning it all down. It's about slowing down enough to listen in, strip away what no longer serves, and reconnect to what's real.Blending science, soul, and personal story, Camille offers a personal growth path to reclaim what matters most-before burnout, crisis, or loss forces you to. Living Real is more than a "how-to" book. It's an invitation to come home to yourself-and finally feel like you belong there.Feel More. Live Deeper. Shall we begin?
Ultimate Questions
The accumulated wisdom of a beloved business professor's signature course Who are we, and who am I? Why are we here, and why am I here? What is the good life, and what is my good life? How should I get along with others? For years, business ethics professor Andrew Wicks pursued these lines of inquiry in his perennially popular course "Ultimate Questions and Creating Value for Stakeholders." In this book, he presents the core ideas of the course to a general audience. Touching on a variety of possible answers--from philosophers, scientists, and more--without advocating for any single position, the book reminds readers that these questions are present in our lives every day and all the time. When we consider them consciously, we can identify our existing answers and craft new ones as we grow and change. They are at the core of what it means to live a fully realized life. And as the world becomes increasingly polarized, ultimate questions emerge as a critical lens through which to relate across difference. With gentle guidance, this book encourages the kind of difficult, vulnerable conversations that help us learn about and interact with each other more authentically--and offers tips on how to do so in a way that feels more like everyday dialogue among peers than hostile confrontations among rivals. While this book is about finding individual answers to these questions, it is also about business and business leadership. Business is a fundamentally human activity, in which people work together to make themselves and each other better off. When business leaders and students ask these probing questions, it leads to more understanding, more collaboration, and better business outcomes. The book is deeply tied to stakeholder theory, which posits that a business succeeds when it serves a wide range of people in its value chain: customers, suppliers, employees, financiers, community members, and more. Considering these questions with members of all these groups enables business leaders to better understand how to serve their stakeholders and find new ways to generate prosperity--not just for investors or owners, but for all involved in the value-creation process of a company. At once conceptual and down-to-earth, Ultimate Questions inspires reflection and offers tools to better understand ourselves and others, to build the kinds of connection and reciprocity needed to lead in business and to live with authenticity and purpose.
