Can we still be human in the digital age? Human Business puts people back in the center. Human Business stands for a new sense of responsibility and a corporate culture characterized by trust and respect.
The book introduces Human Business as a compass and design tool for living and working in the digital age. It questions age-old ideas and practices. It encourages us to rediscover our human core and actively shape our lives and work accordingly.
No matter what role we play; be it as a business leader or manager, as a game-changer, or just as a human being.
Instead of asking what the future will look like, ask "How do you want to live?" and "What makes life worth living?".
It is on all of us to move from the passive role of human resources to rediscovering our humanity.

VUCA Masters comes in a 2-part set that includes the book and a practitioner&rsquo;s guide for implementing the processes, resources, and insights provided&nbsp;in the book.
You will appreciate the metaphor of Leadership Agility Fitness since it aligns with the annual health check-up that most of us experience as we identify gaps in our physical fitness and associated plans to enhance our physical fitness. The same is true for our Leadership Agility Fitness and the need to regularly receive our &ldquo;check-up&rdquo; through a research-based Leadership Agility assessment with a resulting Leadership Agility development plan focused on improving our Leadership Agility fitness scores.
VUCA Master Profiles -- Examples of individuals profiled in the book as VUCA Masters include some in the past (Martin Luther King, Jr., Amelia Earhart, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, and others). In addition, current VUCA Masters profiled include (Matt Stevens &ndash; former Commodore with US Navy SEALs, Dr. Koshi Sidney Makai &ndash; Psychologist, Bill Gates, Lori Willis &ndash; Artist, and Hereditary Cancer survivor, and others). You will find that these VUCA Masters illustrate how we can demonstrate leadership agility in personal life as well as in business.
You will find VUCA Masters to be an essential resource for the work you do to develop leaders with an agility mindset and associated leadership agility behavior. Leaders at all levels, Chief Learning Officers, Agile Coaches, Executive Coaches, and learning &amp; development professionals will benefit from the VUCA Master's set.

&ldquo;No big change is successful unless it starts with the leaders. This book, by an outstanding Vuca Master, is a practical guide for developing your leadership agility fitness full of inspiring real world examples.&rdquo; 
&mdash; Yesim Pinar Kitapci, CEO at Ko&ccedil; Finansman A.Ş. Member of the board at Association of Financial Institutions Recognized as one of the most powerful women leaders in Turkey by the Ekonomist.
<hr />
&ldquo;Our world is getting increasingly more complex every day. Information is always updating and leaders need to adapt quickly as conditions change.&nbsp; &nbsp;The recent global pandemic has affected everyone of us and businesses have had to think differently in order to survive... I highly recommend VUCA Masters as an essential leadership development resource for all of my colleagues in Women in Nuclear to assess and develop their leadership agility fitness. &rdquo; 
&mdash; Carol Barajas, VP Steam Generator Replacement Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)&nbsp;
<hr />
&ldquo;As a practicing neurologist, I find Nick&rsquo;s proposition in the book to provide welcome clarity for leadership agility development in healthcare: just as one strives for physical fitness and should seek routine evaluations of that fitness, so must leaders invest in true &ldquo;agility fitness;&rdquo; and regularly checking on agility &ldquo;vital signs&rdquo; is a must. ...&rdquo;

Today success comes from building products people love, creating loyal customers and serving the broader stakeholder community.&nbsp; In this thoughtful exploration on the future of work, the authors explore the past, present and future of the &ldquo;project&rdquo;. And why, in today&rsquo;s fast changing &amp; hyper-competitive world, running a temporary endeavour is the wrong approach to building sustainable products and how #noprojects is fundamentally changing the way companies work.
The metrics by which we have historically defined success are no longer applicable and we need to re-examine the way value is delivered in the new economy.&nbsp; This book starts from the premise that our goal is to create value, for the customer, for the organisation and for society as a whole and shows how to empower and optimise our teams to achieve this.
The authors draw on modern management approaches to provide proven techniques and tools for producing, and sustaining, creative products that go beyond &ldquo;meeting requirements&rdquo;. By creating teams who are accountable for business outcomes, engineering for customer delight, and creating value for all stakeholders - profitability, customer satisfaction and employee engagement are all increased.
This book is far more than just a catalogue of practices and tools which you can apply in your product development. It contains inspirational stories from individuals, teams and organisations who have switched to this new way of thinking and working. It exposes the risks on the pathway and how others have overcome these obstacles.

<h2>Praise for the book</h2>
<blockquote>If you don&rsquo;t see the value of the project construct in your organization, you&rsquo;re not alone. Shane and Evan have written a book explaining how you might create flow in your organization, to see and deliver the most valuable work faster. - Johanna Rothman, Consultant and Author</blockquote>
&nbsp;
<blockquote>At my company, Menlo Innovations, we have chosen a mission to &lsquo;end human suffering in the world as it relates to technology&rsquo; and much of this suffering comes at the hands of very poorly run projects. Shane Hastie and Evan Leybourn, in their book #noprojects, give us a deep tour as to how we got here and a values-based roadmap on how to escape in order to bring joy back to technology, technology teams and the business that depend on them. There is a wealth of wisdom, expertise and experience shared that will give you a path to success that may be very different than the one you are now. Get ready for different and enjoy the ride! - Richard Sheridan, CEO, Chief Storyteller, Menlo Innovations and Author, Joy, Inc. - How We Built a Workplace People Love</blockquote>
&nbsp;
<blockquote>#noprojects is not about getting rid of projects and project managers, but about being able to continuously deliverer value to customers. It takes a culture where people work towards outcomes, a culture that truly embraces change and fosters continuous improvement as Evan and Shane explain in their book #noprojects - a culture of continuous value. The practices that support such a culture exist, let this book inspire you to apply them effectively to deliver more value to your customers. - Ben Linders</blockquote>
&nbsp;
<blockquote>#noprojects is a great read for people serious about putting products over projects. The authors blend new and novel ideas with tried and tested ideas from active, real world communities. As a reader, you will be respectfully challenged to throw out dogmatic, status quo ideas and replace them with tools and skills that foster learning from tangible and meaningful measurements. I&rsquo;ve already recommended this book to a wide audience that includes program managers, big bosses, and product managers, and now I am doing the same to you.- David Hussman</blockquote>

Transformational Leadership is a soulful practice, a practical job, and everything in between. You are breathing new life into an organization, and that energy comes from the spirit of the people. Transformations are usually designed to improve business results, but what&rsquo;s the point if it doesn&rsquo;t make our lives better?
The nature of transformation is that it&rsquo;s about uncharted territory, and that means that the answers are unknown. This book will offer you tools to get oriented, identify patterns, and work through the challenges without feeling lost and overwhelmed. If you&rsquo;ve ever felt like you could help but no one was listening, or people were resistant to your help, this book will help you stay grounded and supported in your work. When it starts to feel like it&rsquo;s you against the world, this book and this community are here for solace and support. This book will be your partner while you dance between the soulful and practical.
<blockquote>&ldquo;We will dance together between the soulful and the practical throughout this book. I invite you to step out onto the dance floor.&rdquo; &mdash; Jardena London</blockquote>

<h2>REVIEWS</h2>
<blockquote>&ldquo;Jardena has combined a deep understanding of agility, the lessons learned from every organization she&rsquo;s ever been a part of, and her strong, inherent business sense to create a powerful guidebook for pursuing the sometimes nebulous concept of transformational leadership. Jardena&rsquo;s soul-baring vulnerability and authentic point of view give us an inside-out look at what an agile leader does, and how she shows up in the world. Straight-forward and simple, yet deep and inspiring, I recommend this book for anyone interested in growing into their own Transformational Leadership.&rdquo; &mdash; Laurie Reuben, PCC, Executive Leadership Coach, Cheshire Consulting Group, LLC.</blockquote>
&nbsp;
<blockquote>&ldquo;Jardena&rsquo;s book is a personal story of expanding own vulnerability into strength and nurturing deep reflections into insights on transformational leadership. It is authentic in its rawness, and practical in its intimate invitation for cultivating the new way of approaching self-discovery and human systems. Every chapter reminds me of many creative conversations we had where all the different pieces come together in an inspiring stained glass window of ideas.&rdquo; &mdash; Nadezhda Belousova, Founder of Evolneo GmbH</blockquote>
&nbsp;
<blockquote>&ldquo;Cultivating Leadership: Connecting the Soulful and the Practical is rich in insight, humor, and hope. From techie to soul guide, London shares lessons from her own journey of discovery, laying out essential elements of soulful transformation in a grounded and pragmatic path. Straight forward yet provocative, this book is packed with wisdom. It is an invitation to act and reflect &ndash; so we can transform ourselves and our world. After all, leadership without transformation isn&rsquo;t really leadership, is it?&rdquo; &mdash; Sally Parker, TimeZero Enterprises</blockquote>
