'Ferrazzi is breaking new ground in defining what leadership can mean in the emerging world of work' -Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global'Ferrazzi has gone into the trenches to figure out what it really takes to empower people and make teams more than the sum of their parts. This book will be a staple in every leader's library' -Adam Grant, host of the TED podcast WorkLife, bestselling author of Give and Take and Originals Long-listed for the CMI Management Book of the Year 2021 The world of work is changing at an unprecedented rate leaving many organisations struggling to cope.

Leading Without Authority reveals the secret to getting those around you to collaborate and cooperate to reach their full potential, whatever your title. The answer involves a shift in mindset that Ferrazzi calls co-elevation - working to elevate those around us. And you don't have to have formal authority, or direct reports, to utilize the co-elevation process. In fact, you can take initial steps forward without the other person even being aware of your efforts.Drawing on a decade of research and over thirty years helping CEOs and senior leaders drive innovation and build high-performing teams Ferrazzi reveals how we can all transform our business and our relationships with the people around us. The result is a new roadmap for thriving amid the disruptive pressures afflicting every industry.

Justice in the Question of Palestine is often framed as a question of law. Yet none of the Israel-Palestinian conflict's most vexing challenges have been resolved by judicial intervention. Occupation law has failed to stem Israel's settlement enterprise. Laws of war have permitted killing and destruction during Israel's military offensives in the Gaza Strip. The Oslo Accord's two-state solution is now dead letter.Justice for Some offers a new approach to understanding the Palestinian struggle for freedom, told through the power and control of international law. Focusing on key junctures-from the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to present-day wars in Gaza-Noura Erakat shows how the strategic deployment of law has shaped current conditions. Over the past century, the law has done more to advance Israel's interests than the Palestinians'. But, Erakat argues, this outcome was never inevitable. Law is politics, and its meaning and application depend on the political intervention of states and people alike. Within the law, change is possible. International law can serve the cause of freedom when it is mobilized in support of a political movement. Presenting the promise and risk of international law, Justice for Some calls for renewed action and attention to the Question of Palestine.

'The Rule of Law' is a phrase much used but little examined. The idea of the rule of law as the foundation of modern states and civilisations has recently become even more talismanic than that of democracy, but what does it actually consist of? In this brilliant short book, Britain's former senior law lord, and one of the world's most acute legal minds, examines what the idea actually means. He makes clear that the rule of law is not an arid legal doctrine but is the foundation of a fair and just society, is a guarantee of responsible government, is an important contribution to economic growth and offers the best means yet devised for securing peace and co-operation. He briefly examines the historical origins of the rule, and then advances eight conditions which capture its essence as understood in western democracies today. He also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of law by the threat and experience of international terrorism. The book will be influential in many different fields and should become a key text for anyone interested in politics, society and the state of our world.

One L, Scott Turow's journal of his first year at law school was a bestseller when it was first published in 1977, and has gone on to become a virtual bible for prospective law students. Not only does it introduce with remarkable clarity the ideas and issues that are the stuff of legal education; it brings alive the anxiety and competitiveness - with others and, even more, with oneself - that set the tone in this crucible of character building. Turow's multidimensional delving into his protagonists' psyches and his marvellous gift for suspense prefigure the achievements of his bestselling first novel, Presumed Innocent. Each September, a new crop of students enter Harvard Law School to begin an intense, often gruelling, sometimes harrowing year of introduction to the law. Turow's group of One Ls are fresh, bright, ambitious, and more than a little daunting. Even more impressive are the faculty: Perini, the dazzling, combative professor of contracts, who presents himself as the students' antagonist in their struggle to master his subject; Zechman, the reserved professor of torts who seems so indecisive the students fear he cannot teach; and Nicky Morris, a young, appealing man who stressed the humanistic aspects of law. Will the One Ls survive? Will they excel? Will they make the Law Review, the outward and visible sign of success in this ultra-conservative microcosm? With remarkable insight into both his fellows and himself, Turow leads us through the ups and downs, the small triumphs and tragedies of the year, in an absorbing and thought-provoking narrative that teaches the reader not only about law school and the law but about the human beings who make them what they are.

"Worth its weight in gold!" --Robert Shapiro, Esq. Renowned Trial Lawyer, Co-Founder of Legal ZoomWhat if you knew you could get what you want in negotiation? What if you knew you could feel powerful, confident and in control of the entire process? Top 1% attorney, author and media personality Rebecca Zung shares her proven method for successfully negotiating anything in her latest book, "Negotiate Like You MATTER: The Sure Fire Method to Step Up and Win" provides powerful and easy steps you can take to level up your business and your life! Every single person wants to feel seen, heard, understood and know they MATTER. This is true in any human interaction, but in negotiations the stakes are higher. The outcome of a negotiation becomes an outward measurement of our value, and if you haven't done your internal growth work, then at the deepest, darkest level, a "loss" in negotiations feels like YOU are less, not just that you RECEIVED less. That risk of vulnerability is often not worth the potential gain. Using her years of experience in litigating divorces for the world's most powerful people, attorney Rebecca Zung shares, through easy to understand language and humorous stories, the exact steps to the secret of how to get what you want. A totally innovative approach to negotiation, she blends the worlds of self-help, quantum physics, and body language with all the more traditional negotiation skills, strategies, tactics and techniques.80% of winning a negotiation happens before you even walk into the room. To properly prepare, you must move from your inside out. This means that you must start from dealing with your own internal dialogue and knowing you have value. Next, you move to the external preparations. This means doing the research, preparing the arguments, creating leverage, discovering pain points, determining the best and worst case scenarios, doing risk analysis, deciding where the negotiations should be, what to wear, and what your first offer will be. The final step is the actual negotiation itself. Here you must prepare for how to command the entire process by determining how to walk into the room, how to greet the other person, how to use powerful body language (and read the other side's), how to present your offer, how to use embedded commands and mirroring, and much more. The methodology in this book works no matter what field you are in, and regardless of how powerful the other side is.Throughout the book, you'll be given easy to remember mnemonics, catchy phrases, tools, resources and exercises, all to remember exactly what to do to win every negotiation, in any situation, every time - and have the other side be happy about it. Get ready to feel empowered, inspired and actually look forward to negotiating!
