In recent years, the world of politics has taken a series of disastrous wrong turns. We have witnessed leaders who can’t – or shouldn’t be allowed to – lead, policies that are either self-serving or don’t work, and world views that are corrosive or short term. Alastair Campbell’s aim in ‘But What Can I Do?’ is twofold: to explain why things have gone so wrong, and to show what we can to help put them right. A mix of polemic, analysis and practical advice, this is a political masterclass from a master political commentator and strategist. Alastair Campbell is widely regarded as one of our leading political commentators – this book shows why.

We used to think of failure as a problem, to be avoided at all costs. Now, we’re told that failure is desirable – that we must fail fast, fail often. The trouble is, both approaches fail to distinguish the good failures from the bad. As a result, we miss the opportunity to fail well. Harvard Professor Amy Edmondson has spent four decades arguing that productive failure holds the key to lasting success. The world’s leading expert on psychological safety, her research has shown that the most successful environments are those in which we can fail effectively – without our mistakes being held against us. Edmondson offers a revolutionary framework to get these failures right. She outlines the three archetypes of failure before revealing how to minimise the consequences of the bad failures and maximise the potential of the good.

Lightweight, compact, and now, electric: the cityscape has been forever changed by the addition of the Brompton bike, with its distinctive style and clever folding design. For over 40 years, the Brompton’s modular design has remained virtually unchanged. It has stood not only the test of time but every financial crash since 1976, Brexit, and COVID-19, not to mention every other risk which any business faces. Where, then, did this ingenious feat of engineering come from? Who were the minds behind it? And how did a small company grow to become one of the biggest cycling brand names in the world? This is not only the first look behind the scenes at Brompton Bicycle Ltd, but a masterclass in entrepreneurship, manufacturing, and scaling a business.

It represents a powerful spiritual belief – that each of us is part of an unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity and culture. Owen Eastwood places this concept at the core of his methods to maximise a team’s performance. In this book he reveals the ethos that has made him one of the most in-demand performance coaches in the world.
