Share looks at how new business models are being created based on the disruptive idea of ‘sharing’. Uber, Airbnb, Skype, Alibaba, Google, Netflix and WeChat (China’s answer to Whatsapp) are all based on the sharing of information, assets and human capital, and a new and dynamic economy is already emerging. Traditional consumer and industrial models of Western capitalism are having to adapt to the ‘sharing’ concept, but few traditional organisations seem to understand the implications of the ‘share’ mindset for how they operate and compete.

A collection of hactivists, hobbyists, forum-users, and maverick leaders are leading a quiet but unstoppable revolution. They are sharing everything they know, and turning knowledge into action in ways that were unimaginable even a decade ago. Driven by technology, and shaped by common values, going open has transformed the way we live. It's not so much a question of if our workplaces, schools, and colleges go open, but when.

The Fearless Organization 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.

After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this audiobook, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good. Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind. Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel.

Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

Story
The future has never been more uncertain for both employers and employees. They face the same profoundly unsettling dilemma: Neither knows what skills they need to develop for the future. Futurists and the media tell us that over 50 percent of jobs today will soon be replaced by automation and AI.
Summary
We are witnessing the emergence of ordinary people working together to solve big problems in all aspects of our society, rooted in a communal desire to make the world a better place in which to live:
The student organizing a mass global protest, inspiring millions to take action.
A school achieving great academic outcomes because of its commitment to diversity.
The successful brewery giving customers the opportunity to become co-producers.
A co-operative empowering communities to generate renewable energy.
David Price takes us behind the scenes of some of the world’s most innovative organizations harnessing the power of collaboration and diverse thinking to effect real change - and demonstrates what we can learn from them.
Thought-provoking and incisive, The Power of Us is an urgent call for leaders, teams, and individuals to challenge the status quo. It offers a practical toolkit of ideas to show us how we can foster our own cultures of co-creators to transform our lives and rebuild a better world for the future.

A very important read, spread the word..
This is an important book which taps into the changes that we need to make and which ironically we are actually being helped to make as a direct consequence of the coronavirus pandemic. The very fact that the author took the time to re-calibrate the book in the light of the pandemic, as so many of us are doing with our lives, bears testimony to the extraordinary opportunity to improve the world as we come out of this life changing event. Illustrated with inspiring stories and examples this book demonstrates that, as never before we, and in particular for the younger generations there is hope, and essentially it is by being more human and more kind that we can create a better future. OPEN was an extraordinary book but the insights made by David Price in this one demonstrates a way in which we can and should live, learn and work towards a brighter future for all. Bring on The Power of US..

It builds on 'Open' with a focus on application
Working intensively in the innovation education space, I was already a fan of David Price’s earlier book Open, but The Power of Us takes his work to the next level…application. As well as providing countless examples of how the world had already begun shifting pre-COVID, in an insanely short time, David has collected examples of citizen-led pandemic innovation and liberation. The Power of Us provides guidance for HOW to adapt and thrive in a wildly more changeable and interconnected world. Whether you lead thousands or are looking to make a personal contribution to the planet, The Power of Us… is for us!
