This book is based on Professor Pierre Casse’s ten years of teaching, consulting, and writing case studies at the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO. Many of the key issues explored have been the subject of much discussion and debate during training programs and special events such as the SKOLKOVO Master Classes on Leadership. They have also been published electronically under the title SKOLKOVO BE in Trend. The BE in Trend series was published as a monthly teaser and attracted quite a few followers who found Professor Casse’s direct approach to exposing the very real challenges, which leaders in the field face day to day, stimulating. Many of the issues raised are ones that leaders are reluctant to talk openly about. This is not a book full of advice and guidelines but is rather an exploration of some of the most provocative issues in a way that is intended to encourage leaders to reflect and determine how these issues might apply to them, their teams, and organisations. It is indeed a very leader-friendly composition aimed directly at the busy leader.

It's time for more women to rise in their power and take a seat at the coveted boardroom table. It's time for women to learn the art of effective leadership. At an alarming rate, the path to a position of power has left the stronger women weak, angry, confused, unheard and frustrated. Their voices have been silenced as attempts to maneuver through ugly workplace politics, same-sex sabotage and unequal pay have seemingly become the norm or what society has conditioned them to believe comes with the territory. It's time we embrace our roles, learn how to play the game, and understand that changes in the workplace won't happen until we do something differently. We have the power and the obligation to evoke change.

If your people know you care about them, they will move mountains. Employee engagement and loyalty expert Heather Younger outlines nine ways to manifest the radical power of caring support in the workplace. Here's the thing: most leaders think of themselves as caring leaders, but not all of them act in alignment with what that means for employees. Leaders may not be able to identify the level of care they are extending to their employees, but all employees intuitively know whether their bosses or managers are caring for them. Heather Younger argues that if you are looking for increased productivity, customer satisfaction, or employee engagement, you need to care for your employees first. Genuinely caring for people means that you want to see them succeed for themselves, not just for what they can do for you, your team, or your organization. This book incorporates ten sections with breakout stories and interviews that outline the necessary steps to make all employees feel included and cared for, as well as a call to action for all leaders. Younger states that leaders who have the positive power to change the lives of those they lead shouldn't just want to care for them; they should see it as imperative for the success of their employees and their organization.
