Marianne Bachynski (Entrepreneur Books)
Seventy percent of transformation programs fail, and Marianne Bachynski has spent thirty years learning why. In Fit for Uncertainty, the veteran technology executive (Morgan Stanley, Citi, AIG) argues that in an era of AI-driven, warp-speed change, the old command-and-control leadership model is not just outdated but also a recipe for burnout and collapse. This book shows readers one compelling truth: uncertainty should not be viewed as an enemy to be controlled but as a condition to be accepted and embraced. Leaders who make an impact are adap...
Manish Sood, Venkat Venkatraman (Forbes Books)
Your AI strategy is not failing because the models are weak; it is failing because your organization cannot think at the speed of its own data. That is the bracing wake-up call that powers Agentic Intelligence, in which Reltio founder Manish Sood and Boston University strategist Venkat Venkatraman argue that the next era of competition will not be won by intuition or algorithms alone, but by “agentic intelligence”: humans and machines sensing, understanding, deciding, and acting together on trusted, unified, real-time data. The book features te...
Dr. Stephanie Bernard (Atmosphere Press)
Three small words carry the power to undo decades of diet confusion in Stephanie Bernard’s new book, and they are the title itself: Greens Are Free.

She structures the book in three phases: one, the book rebuild...

Inspired by the shooting at Columbine and refined through decades of civic engagement, professional courage, and frontline storytelling, What Really Matters: Find Meaning Amid Upheaval successfully conveys the message that a meaningful life is built not on viral influence or political victory, but on six interconnected pillars: truth, trust, science, civility, d...
Mark Roberts (Advantage Books)
Mark Roberts’s Off Wall Street is far more than a memoir of an exceptional investor; it is a brilliantly written manifesto for the independent mind venturing into the investment business. The book follows the author’s unique path, from a master’s in French literature and a family steel business to becoming the owner of Off Wall Street Consulting Group, which, in 2001, made history on Wall Street with its Enron call. The book develops a powerful argument: that short selling is not cynical betting against success, but a discipline that uncovers t...
Michele Herlein (Forbes Books)
Michele Herlein’s Cultural Excellence is the definitive playbook for leaders who want to ditch hollow mission statements and build a culture that actually moves the needle. Herlein dismisses the idea that culture is soft “fluff” and illustrates that it is the hard wiring of any organization—the behavior of its leaders and what they tolerate. For her, excellence is not accidental; it must be intentionally architected, and she lays out a battle-tested, practical framework for diagnosing your current culture and then redesigning it through a colla...

Michael Coffey (former CEO, Manitex and H-E Parts International) delivers a clever examination of the factors behind the success or failure of acquisitions and mergers in an era marked by local fragmentation and global ambition. Drawing from decades of industrial turnarounds, multinational deal-making, and a fourteen-company buildup across seven countries, Coffrey organizes the book around the G.A.L.E. Force framework—Global Aim, Local Execution—and the four market forces now reshaping the lower-middle market. Each s...
John Berra (Forbes Books)
Automation industry veteran and former president of Fisher-Rosemount Systems and executive vice president of Emerson, John Berra, delivers a spirited manual for facing adversity in professional life. He draws on his personal experience turning corporate obstacles into opportunities and his four-decade ascent from Monsanto control engineer to the leader of a $6.7 billion automation division to contend that the giants professionals face—self-doubt, competition, innovation, corporate bureaucracy, skepticism, and success—are not enemies to be slain...
