All leaders make choices, but not all leaders are choice-focused. In Interactional Leadership and How to Coach It: The art of the choice-focused leader Michael Harvey presents an important new theory of leadership which demonstrates how to coach successful choice-making. This clear, wide-ranging book integrates business and psychology, exploring the art of choice-focused leadership through neuroscience, cognitive psychology, existential philosophy and leadership studies.

The book features chapter-long case studies which provide unique insights into the leader’s inner world and clearly illustrate how the tightrope of leadership can be mastered. Harvey draws important lessons about decision-making from corporate leaders, politicians and even Shakespeare’s tragic heroes, and addresses the leader’s ethical responsibility for major issues facing us now and in the future. The interactional model also focuses on coaching the multiple roles of leadership, such as global leader, team leader, innovator, entrepreneur and chair of the board. Accessible and practical, Interactional Leadership and How to Coach It is an ideal guide for coaches, leaders, students, trainers of coaches and anyone involved in leadership development and recruitment.

“A welcome return for Nottingham Inspector Charlie Resnick, who’s been absent from novel-length crime-fighting since Last Rites.”—Kirkus Reviews It’s Valentine’s Day, and a dispute between rival gangs leaves a teenage girl dead. Detective Inspector Charlie Resnick, nearing retirement, is hauled back to the front line to help deal with the fallout. But when the dead girl’s father seeks to lay the blame on Resnick’s partner, DI Lynn Kellogg, Resnick finds the line between the personal and the professional dangerously blurred. Meanwhile, the Serious and Organized Crime Agency starts to show a keen interest in one of Kellogg’s murder cases—a case the agency is convinced is linked to international gun running and people trafficking. Soon Kellogg is drawn into a web of deceit and betrayal that puts both her and Resnick in mortal danger. In Cold in Hand, John Harvey brings back “one of the most fully realized characters in modern crime fiction” in another heart-stopping procedural (Sue Grafton). “The book is quite possibly Harvey’s most authoritative in years: visceral, engaged and, yes, unputdownable.”—Independent “It’s impossible not to greet the return of Resnick in this eleventh, coda-like, deeply melancholy novel with anything but celebration.”—Booklist (starred review) “Impassioned, at times heartbreaking . . . [Cold in Hand] confirms Harvey as one of our most accomplished writers in any genre.”—Sunday Telegraph
