Hard TimesLeadership in AmericaBARBARA KELLERMAN

Leadership has never played

a more prominent role in our

national discourse, and yet ouropinions o American leaders are

at all-time lows. Private sector

leaders are widely seen as greedy

to the point o being corrupt,public sector leaders are viewed

as incompetent to the point o

being inept, and levels o trust in

the government have plummeted.As the title o this book conveys,

we are experiencing Hard imes.

Barbara Kellerman argues that we have ocused on leaders and

even on ollowers while overlooking an essential element oleadership: context. Tis book is, then, a corrective. By providing

a multi-aceted view o America today, it enables leaders to see the

terrain that they must navigate in order to create positive change.Rather than a handy-dandy manual on what to do and how to do

it, the book is structured as a checklist that introduces readers to

the basic components o context. wenty-our brie sections cover

oundational aspects o the American landscape; need-to-knowevolutions and revolutions that have shifed our societal institu-

tions and norms; populations relevant to leadership practice; and,

finally, utures and inversions to the way things used to be.

Tis crash course reveals how significantly context impacts leadership.

Clearer still is the act that todays context makes leadership more

difficult than it has ever been beore. It is context that explains why

leadership is so raught with rustration, and it is context that makesevident why leadership will be better exercised i it is better understood.

Highlighting persistent patterns that emerge rom the checklist, Keller-

man challenges leaders to do better with their context in ull view. Tis

ascinating read will change the way that all citizens think about leader-

ship, business, and the uture o our country.

Hard imesis a brilliantly insightful and immensely important book. Itsa tour de forcea passionate, provocative, and persuasive discourse onthe extraordinarily complex context that confronts leaders in every wak-ing moment. Tere is no one better able to tell this story than Kellerman.She is an exceptional writer with an extraordinary breadth and depth ofknowledge who never hesitates to tell it like it is. Every leader and studentof leadership must read this book. Now!

DAVE SHERMAN, AND PAUL WERDER

Te notion o responsiblebusiness has infiltrated our

markets, and going green isnow a part o our mind set. But,

sustainability as we know it is

not enough. Flourishingthe

aspiration that humans andother lie will thrive on the earth

orevershould be a key goal

or every business today. Tis is a bold concept, like sustainability was

a decade ago. Just as sustainability has become a matter o course, sotoo will flourishing will become a cornerstone o business tomorrow.

How are companies to attain this big-picture goal? Drawing together

decades o research along with in-depth interviews, Flourishing En-

terpriseargues that strategic, organizational, and operational efforts

to be sustainable reach the potential o flourishing when they incor-

porate one additional ingredient: reflective practices. Offering more

than a dozen such practices, this book leads readers down a path togreater business success, personal well-being, and a healthier planet.

Readers will find that adding reflective practices to existing businessefforts does not require more work; it simply changes the way we do

our work and, more importantly, the results we achieve. Cultivating

emotional and spiritual health is the next rontier; this uture-

oriented guide develops these core competencies while stretching theongoing conversation about ethical, sustainable business.

Te genius of this book lies in its marriage of inspiration with investigation,poetry with practice, and resilience with research. Its long view sets it apartfrom other books on the topic, and takes the conversation about business,

sustainability, and spirituality from the margins into the mainstream.Margaret Benefiel, author of Soul at Workand The Soul of a Leader

Flourishing Enterpriselays out a compelling case and pathway forbusiness to help catalyze a world where all people and life can flourish.I applaud its inspiration and vision for how each of us can create theworld to which we aspire for ourselves and our children.

The Fountain of Knowledge

Te Role of Universities inEconomic DevelopmentSHIRI M. BREZNITZ

oday, universities around the worldfind themselves going beyond thetraditional roles o research and teach-ing to drive the development o localeconomies through collaborationswith industry. At a time when regionsthat house universities are seeking bestpractices among their peers, Breznitz

argues against the notion that oneuniversitys successul technologytranser model can be easily trans-ported to another. Rather, the impactthat a university can have on its localeconomy must be understood in termso its idiosyncratic internal mecha-nisms, as well as the state and regionalmarkets within which it operates.

o illustrate her argument, Breznitzundertakes a comparative analysis o

two universities, Yale and Cambridge,and the different outcomes o theirattempts at commercialization in bio-technology. By contrasting these twouniversities she makes a powerul caseor the idea that technology transer isdependent on highly variable historicaland environmental actors.

Technology Change and the

Rise of New Industries

JEFFREY L. FUNK

echnology Change and the Rise of NewIndustriesexplores why new industriesemerge at specific moments in timeand in certain countries. Part I showsthat technologies which experience

exponential improvements in costand perormance have a greaterchance o becoming new industries.When low-end discontinuities incur

exponential improvements, they ofendisplace the dominant technologiesand become disruptive innovations.Part II explores this phenomenon andinstances in which discontinuitiesspawn new industries because theyimpact higher-level systems. PartIII examines the challenges o newindustries or firms and governments.Part IV uses ideas rom the previouschapters to analyze the present anduture o selected technologies.

Based on analyses o many industries,including those with an electronic andclean-energy ocus, this book chal-lenges the conventional wisdom thatperormance dramatically rises ollow-ing the emergence o a new technology,that costs all due to increases incumulative production, and that low-end innovations automatically becomedisruptive ones.

The Co-Creation Paradigm

VENKAT RAMASWAMY AND

KERIMCAN OZCAN

A undamental shif is underway

that will change our conception

o value. In an era o increasing

interconnectedness, individuals,as opposed to institutions, stand

at the center o value creation.Organizations can no longer

unilaterally devise productsand services. Tey must engage

stakeholderscustomers, em-

ployees, suppliers, partners, and

citizens at largeas co-creators.

Co-creation guru Venkat

Ramaswamy and Kerimcan

Ozcan call or enterprises to be mindul o lived experiences, to buildengagement platorms and management systems that are designed or

creative collaboration, and to develop win morewin more strate-

gies that enhance our wealth, welare, and, well-being. Richly illustrat-

ed with examples o co-creation in action, Te Co-Creation Paradigmprovides a blueprint or the co-creative enterprise, economy, and so-

ciety. Tis book challenges some o our most deeply held ideas about

business and value, as it outlines the uture o business as usual.

Firms are no longer the center of value creation, which now pivotsaround the human experience, interactions, and platforms of engage-

ment.Te Co-Creation Paradigmis a multi-layered view of strategythat opens up new insights and points toward profits that are not attain-able using conventional tools.

Venki Rajah, Vice President of Infrastructure Insight, Oracle Corporation

Creating and maintaining a competitive advantage is a race toward anever moving target. Co-creation is the latest lever to get ahead by in-volving business partners, directly drawing upon their skills and efforts.Doing this requires a new business paradigm, which is well captured inRamaswamy and Ozcans practical and inspiring book.

Hans Lsse, Senior Director,

Strategic Risk Management, The LEGO Group

Te Co-creation Paradigmrepresents the next wave of strategic market-ing and management. We need to train our students and re-train ourexecutives to think in terms of co-creation and platform building. Invit-ing all stakeholders to co-create our business will lead to competitive in-sights and advantages that are unimaginable in traditional companies.

The Social Roots of Risk

Producing Disasters,Promoting ResilienceKATHLEEN TIERNEY

Te first decade o the twenty-firstcentury saw a remarkable numbero large-scale disasters. Earthquakesin Sumatra and Haiti underscoredthe serious consequences that cata-strophic events can have in developingcountries, while /, HurricaneKatrina, and the disasters that struck

hoku, Japan in showed thatFirst World nations remain vulner-able. With so much knowledge othe risks that we continue to ace,why are we still unable to anticipate,prevent, and cope with them?

Kathleen ierney argues against thewidespread notion that cataclysmic oc-currences are driven by orces beyondour control. Instead, she contendsthat risks and disasters o all types are

produced by the social order itsel.Be they natural, technological, oreconomic in nature, risks and theirconsequences are rooted in commonsocial and institutional sources. Aprovocative rethinking o the way thatwe approach and remedy disasters,this book leaves readers with a betterunderstanding o how our own actionsmake us vulnerable to the next big cri-sisand what we can do to prevent it.
