In The Fearless Factor @ Work, Jacqueline Wales gives readers a priceless roadmap that takes them on a journey to better relationships and greater success." - Dr. Tasha Eurich, New York Times bestselling author of Insight and Bankable Leadership"Having spent a long and productive career enduring poor leadership and doing my best to be a decent one, I related deeply with Jacqueline's observations that effective leaders are 'forged in the steel of experience' rather than born. She defines the fears that hold us back with great clarity, and I half expected FDR to emerge from the book to declare, 'all we have to fear is fear itself.' Readers who take the time to do the deep dive will benefit enormously from her wisdom." - Woody Shiflett, Blue Ridge Consulting"We all have fears. What makes this book compelling is that we learn the philosophies and mechanics to help overcome the self-limiting beliefs that make these fears seem real. Jacqueline provokes us to question who we want to be as a person and as a leader, and what a life worth living looks like. Reading The Fearless Factor @ Work will encourage you to be a better person and make a positive contribution to the world." - Charles Bernard, CEO, Criteria for Success"What a joy it is to read such a clearly written, helpful, inspiring book. Author Jacqueline Wales has divided her book into short chapters so you can dip in and derive value even if you're busy and only have a few minutes to spare. You'll love her relatable stories and actionable insights. Highly recommended." - Sam Horn, CEO of the Tongue Fu! Training Institute"Jacqueline Wales' new book couldn't be more timely and valuable. If you want relief from the fears that can suck our energy and attention, her book provides you with insights and actions to take. This book is so needed today!" -Andrew Neitlich, Founder, Center for Executive Coaching

Conquer the most essential adaptation to the knowledge economy The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth offers practical guidance for teams and organizations who are serious about success in the modern economy. With so much riding on innovation, creativity, and spark, it is essential to attract and retain quality talent—but what good does this talent do if no one is able to speak their mind? The traditional culture of "fitting in" and "going along" spells doom in the knowledge economy. Success requires a continuous influx of new ideas, new challenges, and critical thought, and the interpersonal climate must not suppress, silence, ridicule or intimidate. Not every idea is good, and yes there are stupid questions, and yes dissent can slow things down, but talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process. People must be allowed to voice half-finished thoughts, ask questions from left field, and brainstorm out loud; it creates a culture in which a minor flub or momentary lapse is no big deal, and where actual mistakes are owned and corrected, and where the next left-field idea could be the next big thing. This book explores this culture of psychological safety, and provides a blueprint for bringing it to life. The road is sometimes bumpy, but succinct and informative scenario-based explanations provide a clear path forward to constant learning and healthy innovation. Explore the link between psychological safety and high performance Create a culture where it’s “safe” to express ideas, ask questions, and admit mistakes Nurture the level of engagement and candor required in today’s knowledge economy Follow a step-by-step framework for establishing psychological safety in your team or organization Shed the "yes-men" approach and step into real performance. Fertilize creativity, clarify goals, achieve accountability, redefine leadership, and much more. The Fearless Organization helps you bring about this most critical transformation.

In this "compelling scientific detective story," a leading neuroscientist looks for the nature of human kindness in the brains of heroes and psychopaths (Wall Street Journal). At fourteen, Amber could boast of killing her guinea pig, threatening to burn down her home, and seducing men in exchange for gifts. She used the tools she had available to get what she wanted, and, she didn't care about the damage she inflicted. A few miles away, Lenny Skutnik was so concerned about the life of a drowning woman that he jumped into the ice-cold river to save her. How could Amber care so little about others' lives, while Lenny cared so much? Abigail Marsh studied the brains of both psychopathic children and extreme altruists and found that the answer lies in our ability to recognize others' fear. And as The Fear Factor argues, by studying people who demonstrate heroic and evil behaviors, we can learn more about how human morality is coded in the brain. A path-breaking read, The Fear Factor is essential for anyone seeking to understand the heights and depths of human nature.

#1 Amazon Bestseller in Leadership Wall Street Journal Bestseller An F-14 fighter pilot’s top lessons for leading fearlessly—and bringing a team to peak performance As an aviation pioneer, Carey D. Lohrenz learned what fearless leadership means in some of the most demanding and extreme environments imaginable: the cockpit of an F-14 and the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Here, her teams had to perform at their peak—or lives were on the line. Faltering leadership was simply unacceptable. Through these experiences, Lohrenz identified a fundamental truth: high-performing teams require fearless leaders. Since leaving the Navy, she’s translated that lesson into a new field, helping top business leaders, from Fortune 500 executives to middle managers, supercharge performance in today’s competitive business environments. In Fearless Leadership, Lohrenz walks you through the three fundamentals of real fearlessness—courage, tenacity, and integrity—and then reveals fearless leadership in action, offering advice on how to set a bold vision, bring the team together (as wingmen, not Top Gun mavericks), execute effectively, and stay resilient through hard times. Whether you’re stepping into your first leadership role or looking to get out of a longstanding rut, Fearless Leadership will act like your afterburner—rocketing you to ever-higher levels of performance.
