RECENT ACQUISITIONS AND FUTURE HIGHLIGHTS

Evans, Claire L. Fall 2017THE FUTURE IS UNMANNED

This is the first social history of women and the internet. It traces the untold story of women in direct conversation with technology, beginning with the “human computers” of the 19th century, passing through early computer programming pioneers, before arriving at the 1990s: the decade when the personal computing revolution converged with the emergence of the internet, igniting a transformative shift in our relationship to technology—and to each other—that would reshape the modern world. Women are not incidental to that shift. They are, and have been, essential to it. The Future is Unmanned articulates how women push technology forward, highlights women ignored by other social histories of technology, and proposes that female innovators have shaped, and continue to shape, our internet. Claire L. Evans is the Futures Editor of Motherboard and the host of the newsmagazine of the same name on VICE’s network. She is a contributor to Grantland, VICE, The Guardian, Frieze, Aeon Magazine, the Harvard Design Journal, and The New Inquiry, and she is the lead singer of the band YACHT.

Fishkin, Rand Fall 2017THE TRANSPARENT ENTREPRENEUR

Most companies are shrouded in secrecy. They figure it gives them an advantage, dissuades potential competitors, and keeps their employees mollified. But Rand Fishkin argues against that mindset in The Transparent Entrepreneur. Real transparency creates trust in employees, potential customers, your community, and your investors. It builds empathy and support by fostering a shared mission and vision with a story that others can follow. Fishkin here offers the full, warts-and-all account of his company’s journey from humble beginnings to Silicon Valley success. It’s the painful, whole truth of building a company, of celebrating the wins and mourning the losses, of a journey that few ever dare reveal. Fishkin is the founder and CEO of software company Moz.

Blount, Jeb April 2017EMOTIONAL SELLING

Sales isn’t just a numbers game; it’s the art of managing emotions and relationships. In this rebuttal to now-conventional wisdom about sales, Jeb Blount argues that emotional intelligence is the crucial, though often ignored, key to sales success. Emotional Selling will help salespeople determine what their weak interpersonal and intrapersonal skills are, understand the psychological and emotional underpinnings of how people make buying decisions, and manage disruptive emotions. Blount’s message will resonate with all the salespeople who have dutifully “challenged” their customers’ beliefs, desires, and demands as other popular sales books instruct, to no avail. This book makes a powerful case for returning the emotional relationship to the forefront of sales. Blount is the voice of the Sales Gravy podcast, a popular speaker, and the author of Fanatical Prospecting and others.

Daskal, Lolly May 2017THE MYTH OF THE NATURAL-BORN LEADER

Sometimes the smartest, most charismatic, and highest producing person in your office is also the hardest to work with. They might be manipulative, micromanaging, or combative—and they might be you. Nearly of all the most counterproductive traits, renowned leadership coach Lolly Daskal explains, can be prevented or curbed if you understand how they’re closely tied to what makes each of us great. In this book she introduces seven leadership archetypes that when mastered result in exceptional leadership. She draws on more than thirty years of consulting for Fortune 500 CEOs to posit a powerful new framework for leading organizations: that the greatest leaders are those who embrace their failings. This is the indispensable guide to clearing the inevitable hurdles to great leadership. Daskal is the president and CEO of Lead From Within, a global consultancy that specializes in leadership and entrepreneurial development. She is also Inc.’s most popular writer.

Doerr, John, and Kris Duggan March 2017THE OKR MANIFESTO

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a type of goal-setting that Silicon Valley companies adapted early on to help them achieve tremendous growth and results. OKRs help and organization prioritize effort and scale that effort across the organization. John Doerr, the “Father of OKRs,” brought OKRs from Intel to Google in 1999, when Google had only 40 employees. He taught Larry Page and Sergey Brin the concept, and they quickly adopted it at Google, now a 40,000-employee company. Since then, former Google employees have made OKRs standard practice at companies from Amazon to Zynga. The OKR Manifesto defines OKRs for a new generation of managers to show not only why they’re better than traditional top-down Management by Objectives (MBOs), but also how to develop an OKR program for every business to provide the same growth, agility, and transparency that has helped create and scale tech giants today. Kleiner Perkins venture capitalist John Doerr has backed some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, including Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt of Google; Jeff Bezos of Amazon; and Scott Cook and Bill Campbell of Intuit. Kris Duggan is the CEO of BetterWorks, a company devoted to helping organizations streamline goal-setting, and he hosts the annual Goal Summit conference.

Koehn, Nancy F. Feb. 2017FORGED IN CRISIS: The Making of Five Legendary Leaders

Too often we attribute great leadership to innate skill or talent. But the truth, argues Nancy Koehn, is more nuanced, and far more interesting. In Forged in Crisis, Koehn examines the lives of five extraordinary leaders--Ernest Shackleton, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Rachel Carson--to show how the beliefs and actions that immortalized them were in fact discovered, shaped, and tested in their struggle to surmount some of the most challenging circumstances in history. This stunningly researched book is a must-read for 21st century leaders, and it offers unforgettable stories of grit, determination, and the use of emotional awareness to navigate a world of turbulence. Koehn is a Harvard Business school professor.

Lashinsky, Adam April 2017UNTITLED ON UBER

Here Adam Lashinsky traces the story of Uber’s rapid growth from its murky origins, to its founder’s ethically-dubious practices, to its plans for expansion into radically different industries and markets. The company is fighting local competitors and lawmakers around the world; it has already incited riots and protests in nearly every major city, including Paris, Mumbai, and Mexico City. Its delivery service is undercutting older and more established brands, and it has poached blocs of top research universities’ faculties in a push to build the first self-driving car. What Uber does, and how its controversial leader Travis Kalanick does it, is critical to the trajectory of innovation in technology. This book will be necessary reading for anyone interested in the future of tech and business. Lashinsky is a veteran Fortune reporter and the author of the bestselling Inside Apple.

Wahl, Erik Feb. 2017THE SPARK AND THE GRIND

This book takes readers inside Zell’s life, where the secrets of success are embedded in the dramatic and often surprising stories of his youth and business life. Instead of handing out the same old formula, Zell cuts the bull and gives advice on how to make it in the investment and business worlds with a combination of story, inspiration, and wisdom. Zell is chairman of Equity Group Investments, the private investment firm he founded in the 1960s. He has invested in a diverse range of industries including energy, retail, shipping, and media.

Conventional wisdom says that economic inequality is rising and harmful—and that the rich are to blame. But as Edward Conard explains, today’s top earners have grown richer because payoffs for their success are proportionate to the size of the markets they can influence. Challenging the facts and arguments of liberal economists from Paul Krugman to Thomas Piketty to Joseph Stiglitz, Conard reveals the contradictions in the income inequality panic. And

by drawing on a historical study of the ebbs and flows of the economy, he proposes ways to grow faster—which will benefit every point of the income spectrum. Conard is the New York Times-bestselling author of Unintended Consequences and a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

After years of easy growth for their big clan, the meerkats face a drought that diminishes resources and increases predators. These challenges exacerbate their hyper-organized and hierarchical clan. One young, bright, and adventurous worker even sets out to

find other clans, to see what’s working and not working beyond the small area they forage in. Her exploration goes well, until she returns with a new group with new ideas. This short business parable provides a definitive, accessible take on how to get teams to work together in a challenging climate. John Kotter is the bestselling author of several books and an Emeritus Professor at Harvard. Holger Rathgeber is the coauthor of Our Iceberg is Melting.

Rao, Srinivas Aug. 2016UNMISTAKABLE: Why Only is Better Than Best

The key to being unmistakable is to stop trying to be the best, because that means you’re sticking to plans and rules that have already been set for you, choosing what’s safe and reliable. Here Srinivas Rao argues that your most meaningful, impactful, and joyful work exists outside the “being the best” mindset, if you can strip away the expectations and pressure that you’ve internalized, to lead you to be the only. With lessons, personal anecdotes, and interviews with 500 people from his “Unmistakable Creative” podcast, Rao creates an outline

for tapping into whatever it is that makes you unmistakable. Rao is the author of the bestselling The Art of Being Unmistakable—a self-published book that Portfolio has now extensively revised and expanded into Unmistakable.

Tapscott, Don, and Alex Tapscott May 2016BLOCKCHAIN REVOLUTION: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin is Changing Money, Business, and the World

This book explores the next big shift that will change the way we live online. Blockchain technology, the platform that powers bitcoin, permanently stores information without an intermediary like a bank or governing body. While keeping the user’s information anonymous, the blockchain stores all transactions made. That means your information is secure, but all

activity is completely incorruptible—reconciled by mass collaboration and stored in code on a digital ledger. The blockchain ensures integrity, with transparency and trust built into the system itself. The coming Internet of Everything will be accompanied by a ledger of everything—a truly open global platform that fundamentally changes what we can do online, how we can do it, and who can participate. Don Tapscott is the bestselling author of Wikinomics and others. Alex Tapscott is a financial analyst.
