You're The Boss
$36.99
Why are top performers often the worst managers? This book unpicks how our strengths can become weaknesses and what conditions bring out the best - and worst - in leaders, teams and individuals.Former Microsoft Executive and Fortune 500 CEO coach, Sabina Nawaz, delivers a practical guide for managers, at a time when managing is harder than ever.This book explains why top performers inevitably turn into terrible managers when their behaviour, compounded by the power and pressure that come from climbing the corporate ladder, engenders toxic work cultures and saps everyone else's enthusiasm around them. The very traits that they believe have gotten them to top, may that be loose personal boundaries, perfectionism or a bullish communication style, when at the altitude of leadership, self-sabotage their efforts and that of their team.Top Executive coach and former adviser to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Sabina Nawaz, does not advocate for a leadership personality transplant, or a lengthy journey in self-development. Instead, she introduces simple strategies that you can implement today that rail-guard against the common pitfalls of management. By managing pressure and collapsing distance, Sabina ensures top performers effectively manage others, navigate relationships and communicate effectively in every context.

Your Brilliant Brain
$24.99
It is pretty easy to argue that the human brain is the most extraordinary thing in the known universe. But there is so much we don’t know about the thing behind our eyes. Where do thoughts come from? Why do we dream? Why have our brains become 10% smaller over the past ten to twelve thousand years? Why do we get brain-freeze? Why!? Okay, that last one … we do know the answer to. But there is much to learn – and much fun to be had – by taking a quick poke around the human brain (which would feel a bit like tofu, or firm jelly, if you did poke it).Told with Philip Bunting’s inimitable wit, this new non-fiction picture book will explore the most fascinating part of the human body, the bit that makes you YOU, your brain.Your Brilliant Brain dives into the complex and intriguing world inside your head, covering various topics like: <ul><li> The different parts of the brain, from the brain stem to the cerebellum </li><li> How neurons, synapses, and nerves function </li><li> The senses, emotions, and all the unconscious things your brain does without you even knowing! </li><li> Memory, learning, and sleep </li><li> The nitty gritty, like how the brain has evolved, or what the Basal ganglia does </li><li> ... and more! </li></ul>
