Taylor & Francis Transparent Leadership
Book SynopsisEstablishing a culture of trust in organizations and strengthening the middle line are both critical for implementing innovation, especially during major disruptions. Work units and teams operate in environments that are largely influenced by broader organizational and institutional goals where middle managers are most needed for guiding and directing the staff to carry out change. Recently, however, the value of middle managers has come under attack. Despite their valuable contributions that often have gone unnoticed by senior executives, middle managers have regularly been viewed as non-value-added practitioners that consume resources but do not add value to products or services. Further, as technology advances and social media allow executives to interact more directly with stakeholders, it also removes middle management from the communication loops or the decision-making process. Conscious about the potential of being eliminated, demoted, or bypassed, some middle managers attempt to âœprove their premiumâ by working excessively hard, thus becoming hyper-effective, working longer hours with a desire to perform their roles better. Surprisingly, however, executives who react harshly to these attitudes and behaviors also typecast middle managers as being unmotivated and needed to be further bypassed or often incentivized monetarily to accomplish important tasks. Neglecting middle managersâ strengths or focusing on negative attributes and weaknesses create conditions of failure harmful to employees and organizations.Transparent Leadership: Bridging the Trust Gap Between Senior Executives and Middle Managers focuses on the trust gap between senior executives and middle managers. A proven framework of trustworthy leadership will be showcased along with practical strategies and assessment tools aimed at bridging the trust gap between executives and middle managers. The book is presented as a practical guide for leaders and professionals wishing to gain skills for building and maintaining trust in the workplace. It provides practical strategies and assessment tools for bridging the trust gap between executives and middle managers.

Taylor & Francis The Elemental Leader
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive leadership development book that reimagines the classical elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire as metaphors for effective leadership principles. The project focuses on helping leaders unlock their leadership potential by grounding their practices in these elemental principles. Each element represents a principle. Earth symbolizes core values and grounded mindsets, Air relates to overcoming adversity and perseverance, water embodies adaptability and change processes, and fire represents innovation, motivation, decision-making, and risk management. The book weaves personal anecdotes, case studies, supporting research, and actionable strategies to provide a holistic guide for leadership growth. The structure of the book is built around four major chapters, each dedicated to one of the elements. Within each chapter, the content is organized into multiple case studies of real-world leaders. For example, the Earth chapter analyzes Howard Schultzâs leadership at Starbucks and Indra Nooyiâs value-driven leadership at PepsiCo. Each case study includes sections on the relevance (why it matters), supporting research, and actionable strategies. This bridges the theoretical world with the practical application of lived experiences. Readers are encouraged to take part in the interactive tasks within each chapter for the purpose of optimizing their organizations. Key benefits of the book include the ability to integrate timeless principles with contemporary leadership challenges. By drawing on the elements the project offers leaders a framework for making decisions that are both ethical and effective. From focusing on core values (missions, visions, etcâ) to build resilience based on trust, to transparent communication when facing adversity as a highly effective team, to preparing teams for change (both expected and unexpected), and to igniting passion and driving for innovative and collaborative risk management, the chapters offer a balanced approach to leadership that is adaptable across various fields. In addition, the project stands out for its integration of reflective exercises and research-backed strategies. Leaders are invited to refine their approaches, using the tools and strategic planning templates provided. This combination makes the project an indispensable guide for those looking to lead with authenticity and impact. Moreover, its diverse range of case studies allows readers to draw insights from leaders across industries, making the lessons ubiquitous and implementable in a variety of organizations.

Taylor & Francis We Are All Ambiverts Now
Book SynopsisBased on real-world evidence from senior executives and successful entrepreneurs, this book argues that an effective leader must act like an ambivert: an introvert at times and an extrovert at others.Thanks to landmark books such as How to Win Friends and Influence People, many professionals think that only extroverts can be standout leaders, but Karl Mooreâs interviews with over 750 CEOs from around the world prove that introverts make excellent leaders too. These insights make clear that the optimal leadership style is ambivert, with senior leaders combining introversionâbeing excellent listeners and thinking before they speakâand extroversionâinspiring and connecting with their teams. This book teaches how introverts and extroverts work, manage, and lead effectively and how readers can be better leaders regardless of their natural communication style. It empowers leaders to celebrate the strengths of their personality type while being flexible and to understand when to incorporate the strengths of other types into their leadership approach to be more effective. While showing how to identify and utilize the approach that is best for a given situation, it also highlights the potential weaknesses of the ambivertâs chameleon nature and emphasizes the importance of leaders staying true to themselves in any situation.Current and aspiring leaders, as well as entrepreneurs and MBA and executive education students, will understand how to develop and maximize the perfect blend of introversion and extroversion as this book guides them through a range of potential situations encountered in the workplace.

Taylor & Francis Startup Finance 2.0
Book SynopsisTraditional corporate financial theories and tools are based on matured companies with the assumption that the companies are going concerns.âœGoing Concernâ refers to the assumption that a company will continue to operate indefinitely, with no intention or necessity of liquidation or cessation of operations in the foreseeable future. The problem is that the âœGoing Concernâ assumption does not hold for startups due to the inherent uncertainty associated with startups. Traditional financial education and resources, usually meant for analysts and accountants, aren't ideal for entrepreneurs. They focus on analyzing past data from established businesses, not on making forward-looking decisions in the uncertain and highly dynamic environment of startups. Entrepreneurs also often struggle to prioritize the allocation of resources between seemingly urgent matters and matters that are important for the long-term value of the startup. Thus, this book takes a value-oriented approach to startup financeThe book is designed to build the financial intuition that an entrepreneur needs to prioritize matters vital for the long-term value of the company, raise capital, and allocate capital for value maximization. It also looks at finance from a value creation point of view and covers specific methods especially suited for startups - from investment assessment to valuation to fundraising to managing day-to-day finances.

Taylor & Francis The Management Puzzle Solved
Book SynopsisMost often managers come up through the ranks of employees and are chosen because of their success, drive, abilities, education, other accomplishments, and personal factors. However, collectively their accomplishments as employees do not necessarily prepare them for managing and leading. Completing tasks is different from energizing and motivating others to perform. Often the best âœdoersâ are not the best managers. In managing and leading, it often is the mid-level or average performer that is more effective. They may not achieve at the highest level as an employee, but they have qualities that fit with the characteristics of successful managers and leaders. What is needed regardless of prior experience is training and guidance to be a successful manager and leader. What they need is a tool kit to assist them to transition to management and more broadly to grow in the role over many years. The contents of this book are based on 30 years of client proven consulting work with companies from startup to Fortune 100. The information, methods, forms and other ideas have been honed and modified to provide a universally implementable series of programs and processes that will assist managers and leaders at all levels of organizations to more effectively lead and manage. A key value of The Management Puzzle Solved! is that useful management information is communicated in a concise, informative, non-time intensive format. Each section can be read and digested readily and serve as an ongoing reference for managers as specific needs or concerns arise or just to broaden knowledge.This book is a mini-management course in a readable and compact format. It provides managers with information to interview candidates more effectively, deal with the day-to-day management of employees, provide leadership for the organization, manage employee performance, facilitate meetings effectively, enhance communication, promote team functioning and implement change more smoothly. Rather than the latest fad, this field-tested set of management tools provides ideas and techniques that have been implemented in hundreds of companies with thousands of managers and employees to help you manage and lead effectively.

Taylor & Francis Port Economics and Business
Book SynopsisThere is growing interest in the port economy in all its facets from the business world, political decision-making and scientific research. In a constantly evolving port environment, pertinent questions arise every day, concerning aspects of financing infrastructure and operations, competitiveness, productivity and horizontal and/or vertical cooperation. All actors involved want to know the economic consequences of decisions that are made, both in terms of commercial companies located within the port perimeter and in terms of the port authority or manager and also the government. Port Economics and Business therefore attempts to fill this important gap.All important aspects of port activities are analyzed in an economic manner. The economic decisions of providers and users of port services are studied. All actors who use the port infrastructure in one way or another are explicitly discussed. As far as freight traffic is concerned, this concerns shipping companies, transhipment and storage companies, land transport, up to and including all possible suppliers and service providers. For passenger traffic, in a similar way, this concerns ferry and cruise lines, terminal operators, land operators and all possible suppliers. The book provides the reader with tools to solve port-related problems independently in the next phase. Emphasizing economics aspects and decision-making, Port Economics and Business is a vital resource for students and researchers in port economics and management, as well as professional port managers.

Taylor & Francis Innovations for Transformation
Book SynopsisThis book chronicles how four resort cities (Ashville, Aspen, Key West, and Laguna Beach) addressed failing economic situations to reinvent themselves and prosper. The author explores bottom-up reinventions of local community value propositions, often driven by economic forces that require reinvention due to declining or disappearing traditional economic opportunities. The author foregoes broad national policies and focuses on a wide range of types of citizen groups, local institutions, and businesses that coalesce to understand what is happening or has happened to their community. These cities then formulate future aspirations with new value propositions and experiment to determine what works. The investment becomes focused on emergent successes. The author addresses four community ecosystems and a spectrum of contexts -- For example, mountains vs. oceans and venues for entertainment vs. thought leadership. These four ecosystems were reinvented creatively to enable great economic and societal successes. In particular, the energy provided by bottom-up innovation was crucial. The information presented in this book is drawn from two sources -- First, historical accounts of such initiatives are leveraged. Second, and more substantial, are findings synthesized from extensive interviews in Asheville, NC,
