Books by Isabelle Nüssli

Conflict. Scandal. Derailment. These are the last words you want to hear as a shareholder, board member, or CEO of any organization, especially if you expected corporate governance to prevent these crises. But the business world is volatile and complex. As humans, we are volatile and complex. The mechanisms of corporate governance alone are not enough to insure us, or our business, against inevitable change and challenges. In Beyond Corporate Governance, Isabelle Nüssli shows you why the processes you rely on are a flawed safety net, and how you can learn to navigate change, no matter the ambiguities or uncertainties you face. This guidebook is a constant companion for any leader who wants to unpack their full potential and for owners, boards, CEOs, and recruiters to understand what true leaders are made of. Isabelle gives you tools to identify the red flags and hidden dynamics of organizational and personal derailment to push beyond the concept of corporate governance as your best, and only, solution. Things change, and they change quickly. Learn what you can do to help future-proof your business and sleep better at night.

All too often, the relationships between Chairpersons and CEOs are filled with tension, affecting organizations as a whole. To create a more productive atmosphere, senior leaders need to identify the source of their issues and build a new bond based on trust and respect.

After living through her own toxic Chairperson/CEO scenario, Isabelle Nüssli decided to uncover the roots behind these complicated interactions. Drawing on studies in business, law, and psychology, as well as interviews with more than seventy Chairpersons and CEOs, Cockfighting presents Isabelle's remarkable findings on the conscious and unconscious drivers of conflict and their intensifiers, offering insight into how factors such as role models, family structures, and birth order can cause antagonism, and providing invaluable tools for increasing self-awareness, overcoming differences, and facilitating collaboration.

It's time to break through the classic Chairperson/CEO conflict and build a new partnership that empowers productivity, innovation, and success.
