The art world loves a spectacle. But at what cost?In Top Tick, art collector and former finance professional David Birkenshaw pulls back the velvet curtain on contemporary art's high-stakes circus, where branding often matters more than brushwork.

Help Wanted
How employers can compete in a challenging labor market--by hiring differently, redesigning job quality, and rethinking their government relations strategies. From two leaders in business and workforce development with a proven track record in innovative workforce strategies. Over the past ten years, the U.S. labor market has been buffeted, with demand shifting dramatically. At the same time, demographic trends mean that U.S. labor supply will steadily tighten into the coming decade: Relatively fewer native-born workers are entering the workforce; a greater percentage are choosing not to work; and an aging baby boom generation is exiting the workforce. What's worse, this systemic tightening of the US labor market has been exacerbated by the Trump administration's decision to dramatically constrain immigration, the primary source of recent labor market growth. Welcome to the "forever-tight" labor market. In Help Wanted, Jerry Rubin and Steven Dawson combine their 80 years of experience in management and workforce development to offer employers an "employee-focused competitive strategy." This strategy includes a wide range of practical, well-researched tools and detailed case studies from a breadth of employers that will help readers compete for talent and retain a productive workforce. Since the underlying cause of the tightening labor supply is structural, employers--whether for-profit, nonprofit, or governmental--must respond in kind. They too must undertake structural changes in finding, hiring, and retaining workers. Now equal in importance to an organization's customer-service strategy, an employee-focused strategy is no longer simply a competitive advantage--it is fast becoming a competitive necessity.
The Engagement Dilemma
What if your next great hire isn't the one with the perfect r矇sum矇... but the one who feels like they belong?In The Engagement Dilemma: How to Create a Culture of Belonging, Dr. Rosalind Cohen flips the script on traditional hiring practices and delivers a refreshingly honest look at what really drives performance, retention, and team culture. Spoiler: it's not stock options, ping pong tables, or corporate slogans.Drawing from 25+ years in HR and her own doctoral research on inclusive leadership, Cohen shows how most companies are asking the wrong questions and hiring the wrong people for the right jobs. Through candid stories, research-backed insights, and laugh-out-loud observations from the front lines, she unpacks how to: Attract candidates who actually want to grow with your teamDitch the "culture fit" trap and hire for contribution, not conformityRethink outdated job descriptions and interview processesTrain managers to foster trust, belonging, and real engagementBuild a workplace where people feel seen, heard, and valuedWhether you're an HR pro, team leader, or executive tired of revolving-door hires, Hiring for Engagement is your practical, punchy guide to building teams that thrive, not just survive.If you're ready to stop hiring for convenience and start hiring for connection, this is the book you've been waiting for.Dr. Rosalind F. Cohen, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, is a New York native who's spent over 25 years figuring out why workplaces can be so wonderfully terrible-and more importantly, how to fix them. After moving around the country more times than she cares to count (seriously, the boxes never fully got unpacked), she became something of an expert on belonging and connection. Turns out, all that searching for "home" was excellent preparation for helping organizations create places where people actually want to work.Currently serving as Chief People Officer at Laird Norton Wetherby, she leads with curiosity and empathy to build cultures where team members feel valued for their unique contributions
Personal Finance for Young Professionals
Organizational Digital Transformation: An IT-Enabled Program Approach provides a comprehensive, actionable framework for planning, executing, and sustaining digital transformation across modern enterprises. As organizations navigate heightened competition, accelerated technological change, and rising stakeholder expectations, this book demonstrates why traditional project-by-project upgrades are no longer sufficient. Instead, successful transformation requires a coordinated IT-enabled program management approach-one that integrates interdependent initiatives, aligns strategy with execution, and delivers measurable business value.Drawing on decades of research and real-world managerial insight, the authors walk readers through the entire program management life cycle-from identifying and formulating a transformation program to defining, planning, executing, delivering, and ultimately closing it. Each phase is equipped with tools, templates, governance mechanisms, and decision frameworks designed to help leaders steer complex digital transformations with clarity and discipline. The book builds on themes such as program visioning, blueprint design, benefits realization, stakeholder analysis, risk and resistance management, governance structure, and organizational readiness, all of which are central to ensuring sustained transformation success.Central to the text is the fictional yet highly realistic case study "Digital Transformation of The Sun News," which guides readers through a multi-year transformation journey. Through this extended example, readers observe how a traditional media organization evolves into a digital-first enterprise, applying program management tools to reimagine business processes, modernize IT capabilities, and adapt organizational culture. The case illustrates how program phases unfold, how decisions are made in dynamic environments, and how benefits mapping, project dossiers, and governance structures support enterprise-level digital integration.The book is structured around the logic of the IT-enabled program life cycle, offering a chapter-by-chapter roadmap: Chapter 1 explains why digital transformation requires program-level thinking, describes the four phases of the program life cycle, and identifies the core responsibilities and skills required of Program Managers.Chapter 2 walks through identifying and formulating the program-including producing a Program Mandate, Program Brief, Program Preparation Plan, and conducting formal stakeholder analysis to establish strategic alignment and social feasibilityChapter 3 describes defining and planning the program, producing the Program Business Case, Blueprint, benefits plans, and an execution roadmap for moving into delivery.Chapter 4 covers executing and delivering the program through oversight, iterative governance processes, stakeholder communication, risk management, capability delivery, and benefits realization strategies.Chapter 5 addresses closing the program by reviewing benefits realization, ensuring organizational transition, and capturing lessons learned to support long-term sustainability.Chapter 6 concludes with a culture-technology perspective, connecting change management principles with program management practices to reinforce organizational readiness and adaptability.Across these chapters, the authors blend academic rigor with practitioner relevance. Readers gain access to actionable templates, governance models, benefit maps, stakeholder tools, and program management artifacts suitable for immediate application in real organizations. This dual emphasis on theory and practice ensures the book is valuable not only for academic study but also for hands-on transformation leadership.This book is ideally suited for busin

Working in Art
How to get a job and make a living in the art industry, from rising art world star Alexandra Steinacker-Clark, creator of the All About Art podcast. One of the biggest misconceptions about the art industry is that unless you already have wealth and contacts, you have no chance of breaking into this apparently exclusive world. Alexandra Steinacker-Clark has spent her career pushing back against this idea, and demystifying the art world for those coming in from any background.

Cleanup on Aisle Five
In the tradition of bestselling classics such as Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed and Benjamin Lorr's The Secret Life of Groceries comes a character-driven exploration of the modern supermarket, unpacking what works and what doesn't, and delivering a blueprint for a better way to shop. Grocery stores may all seem the same. But the supermarket as an institution is anything but ordinary or one-dimensional. At the supermarket where I worked, I found a microcosm of society: a place of brutality and violence as well as solidarity and the promise of change. Unemployed and looking for work during the pandemic, journalist and activist Ann Larson found a job as a cashier at a supermarket in Utah. Though she had written about low-wage work for years, nothing could have prepared her for what she experienced. Informed by her time behind the register, Cleanup on Aisle Five is Larson's deep dive into supermarkets and how they operate from the inside out: from the low-wage workers stocking the shelves and the customers coming through at all hours, to the communities these stores serve and the larger capitalist forces and corporate interests at play that control how we shop for food. In the process, she chronicles the evolution of the grocery store, unpacks the political implications of the battles between shoppers and staff, and invites us to imagine grocery stores as places where one can foster community and even equity--if we can separate food distribution from profit motive. Deeply reported and refreshingly insightful, Larson follows the interactions between the workers, including Stanley who can't afford a sandwich, Nick who doesn't have health insurance, and Scarlet who is all out of patience, and customers, including the old lady who finds comfort in tidying the shelves to the one homeless guy who only comes in to use the facilities. From the unforgettable characters to the common challenges we face when it comes to food, Cleanup in Aisle Five will forever change the way we look at grocery stores.

Desperate to salvage his future, Caleb seeks help from Ron, an elderly janitor who challenges everything he believes about investing. Ron introduces him to the Secret Order of Millionaires, a mysterious group of ordinary people who have somehow accumulated vast fortunes.

The 25th Hour
Are you craving not just extra time but the wisdom and self-awareness to use it joyfully and effectively? An elite executive coach brings us his proprietary approach to finding at least another hour in our day to do anything we want--all by learning to manage our fears and other emotions better. We often equate saving time with working smarter. If only we could cut unnecessary meetings, streamline emails, and collaborate more strategically, we could claw back all the stolen hours in our day. While these tactical adjustments help, they only skim the surface. The real problem isn't external, but internal. In The 25th Hour, Neal Schore reveals how our emotional reactions quietly eat away not just at our time but also our energy. It's the unproductive worrying, the anxiety that blooms and spirals, the decisions we make based on fear, the obsession over other people's actions and behaviors--all those complicated emotional dynamics that we so rarely address at work. More than anything else, we get in our own way. In three parts, The 25th Hour offers a simple, practical, paradigm-shifting approach to professional development, moving the focus beyond strategies for greater efficiency to what really costs us so much time and energy: our uncontrolled emotional responses. Part I starts us off with some simple tools that can help you handle yourself better in any professional exchange, including the one question you should always ask yourself. Part II introduces a series of strategies for maneuvering when life isn't going as you'd hoped, including a failsafe way for resetting after a distracting or tough experience leaves you in a miasma of self-doubt. Part III helps you reach new levels of achievement and efficiency by firing your fears, breaking with your automatic responses, and fighting back against impostor's syndrome, with creative tools that will make you smile as you put them to work. Drawing on Schore's personal experiences and his successful work with some of today's most consequential business leaders, The 25th Hour will show you how to manage yourself in order to manage your professional life. With proven guidance and tools for becoming more self-aware, reigning in unruly feelings, and preventing needless drama, this book will equip everyone from CEOs to students with the skills to focus in on what matters to work more productively and efficiently while also having more fun along the way. The counterintuitive surprise? Your colleagues will love that you don't waste their time either!
