The Future Is Bright, and the Future Will Be Remade from the Past.

Even before the arrival of COVID19, we knew that the world was in dire need of change and renewal. In a world with depleted resources, where international crises abound, and populism on an international scale causes an ever-growing demand for change among the peoples on planet Earth, we need a new kind of leader. These new leaders we call Profiles in Strategy.

This book is written for the Profiles in Strategy, the leaders of the future. The future is linked to the past. Therefore, this book characterizes the field of strategic management by means of a thorough historical account.

The future will also be characterized by paradoxical leadership challenges. The book illustrates this by highlighting central paradoxes of the strategy field and showing that the seminal strategy researchers have come to embody the paradoxes.

On this background, the book contains the essential knowledge and tools for Profiles in Strategy, leaders of the future.

The future looks bright, go out there and create it.

In this book Uffe Elbæk – KaosPilot, member of the cultural grass roots movement, social activist, entrepreneur, advocate of education, decision-maker, and opinion leader – lavishly hands out stories of his many experiences as a leader and a change agent.

Above all, the book is a personal narrative, but it also holds academic reflection, models, and inspiring exercises. Along the way, Uffe Elbæk takes the reader to such different places as Aarhus, Moscow, Kiruna, San Francisco, Durban, Dublin, Reykjavik, Havana, Hong Kong, London and Copenhagen.

Leadership on the Edge is written on the basis of a good mixture of appetite, joy and curiosity. Appetite for the discovery of new patterns and connections; joy of the diversity of life; and curiosity about getting right to the edge – where it truly becomes interesting.

Michael Pram Rasmussen, Chairman of the Board in A.P. Møller Mærsk: "From the boardroom to the bridge of a tanker, every leader must master the art of dealing with crises and emergencies. With great skill, Merete Wedell-Wedellsborg shows us that there is a method behind the art"
 
Nils Wang, Rear Admiral, Commandant at The Royal Danish Defence College: "Any leader who expects to come under fire will eventually feel an urgent need to understand Battle Mind. Reach out for this thoughtful and instructive book well in advance of those critical moments". 
 
Søren Kyhl, Executive Vice President, Danske Bank: "A stimulating tour through the mind on high alert. Full of useful insights on sustainable high-performance and how you can learn to bounce back from major setbacks." 
 
Jesper Kløve, Senior Vice President at Novo Nordisk A/S: "Wedell-Wedellsborg has spent a lot of time studying and focusing on performance under pressure, and it shows. This is a truly well-researched book. Battle Mind is highly informative and provides a hands-on framework and specific ideas for achieving great results. There are great cases in this book for every leader".
 
Anne-Marie Søderberg, Professor, Copenhagen Business School: "With a solid grounding in psychology and leadership studies Merete Wedell-Wedellsborg does an exemplary job when framing the stories told with lucid concepts for dealing constructively with common management derailers".
 
Christian Ørsted, bestselling author of Lethal Leadership: "If you are seeking answers to one of the core mental demands of modern leadership, you need this book. It features a fascinating mix of psychology, research and case studies from the military, business and politics. A terrific read".
 
Helena Boas, Founder and President, Bodas: " Merete Wedell-Wedellsborg’s fascinating account examines a critical aspect of the minds of leaders, managers, and founders of businesses worldwide. However, the mental reflexes she examines and the tools she suggests/prescribes are are also more broadly applicable and invaluable for everyone across all aspects of their lives".
 
Maria Hjorth, CEO, Mercer Denmark: "To succeed in business you have to perform under pressure and it demands more than just talent. You need to perform when it counts. I believe that 'Battle Mind' is a core life skill for everyone and I can highly recommend Merete's book." 

How to create hunger in paradise When companies become successful, they don’t just fight their competitors: they fight themselves. Success can trigger a series of psychological problems that are often not recognised until it is too late. But how do you defeat them? Over the past five years Rasmus Ankersen has met CEOs of top companies and studied the latest research of world-leading psychologists to find the answer. In HUNGER IN PARADISE he shares his findings on how leaders and managers of successful organisations can stay ahead in a fast-changing world. Based on authentic, first-hand case studies he answers some of the toughest but most relevant management questions of today: how do you keep complacency out of the building when you are cashing in record profits? How do you act with urgency when there seems to be no obvious burning platform in sight? In other words, how do you create hunger in paradise?

Haldor Topsøe has been called "Engineer of the Century". His company is storming ahead globally, and he still goes to the office every morning – at the age of almost 100.
He founded his company the day after the Nazis occupied Denmark on 10 April 1940. In 1972 the company experienced liquidity problems and he lost control of his life's work. But in 2007, at the age of 94, he bought the company back by borrowing more than 2.5 million Danish kroner from the bank. From that point on it has been full steam ahead.
During his long life he has seen for himself the consequences of two world wars and of economic depression. He saw Hitler speak in a Germany on the way to catastrophe and listened to Churchill in the British Parliament. Decades before other business people did the same, he travelled to developing countries such as India and China where he became an adviser for political leaders.
Inspired by his mentor, Niels Bohr, Haldor Topsøe has always been concerned by the progress which research can bring not just for his own company but also for the whole world.
The book is a portrait of a unique person with an unrivalled commitment and vision.
