"The first book to argue that even though artificial intelligence may replace millions of jobs, it can never replace the one thing that truly matters." Artificial intelligence isn't just changing the way we work. It's changing the way we think about ourselves. For generations, we humans measured our worth by our intelligence, our education, our careers, and our ability to produce valuable work. But what happens when a machine can perform many of the same intellectual tasks in seconds—and at almost no cost? The result isn't simply economic disruption. It's an identity crisis. Millions of ...

W. Edwards Deming details the system of transformation that underlies the "14 Points for Management" presented in Out of the Crisis. The "Deming System of Profound Knowledge", as it is called, consists of four parts: appreciation for a system, knowledge about variation, theory of knowledge, and psychology. Describing the prevailing management style as a prison, Deming describes how applying the System of Profound Knowledge increases productivity, quality, and people's joy in work and joy in learning.

In Crisis Through the Door, Dr. Eric S. Plummer, a chief of police, public safety strategist, and author of the acclaimed Crisis at the Top, turns his focus from leadership failures at the top to the critical, often overlooked mistakes made at the front door of the profession: hiring and early culture formation. With decades of experience leading public safety agencies in higher education and municipal environments, Dr. Plummer exposes the hidden risks that come with poor hiring decisions, rushed onboarding, and a lack of accountability during probationary periods.

Lily, Ana, and Margot have been best friends ever since Hawthorne Res Life assigned them as roommates during their first year of college. Ten years later and Lily is planning her wedding to the endlessly supportive and entirely symmetrical Jack. Ana is a fourth-grade teacher at the prestigious Horizon Academy, alma mater of her long-term boyfriend, who’s finally asked her to move in. Margot is about to land a life-changing promotion at ad agency McQueen O’Doul’s. It all looks good from here.

She turned down a promotion because he said the timing wasn't right. They'd just moved. The kids were settling in. The family needed stability. Leigh agreed — because she believed they were a team making decisions together. Three months later, Drew takes his own promotion without a conversation. New title. New salary. New hours. He mentions it over dinner like it's already settled. Like the timing that wasn't right for her career was apparently perfect for his. She doesn't yell. She doesn't argue. She opens her laptop. Takes a call she doesn't tell him about. Schedules meetings he doesn't...
