Modern technology and demography may disguise it, but Europe’s origins lie in the sea and its future prosperity still depends upon it. Europe & The Sea identifies how key strands of geography, history and economics have woven together to create - against the odds of conflict and competition – not only disproportionate wealth and unexpected cultural cohesion, but the will for Europe to extend and dominate the known world for centuries. Five European admirals from Britain, France, Germany Italy and Spain transcend narrow naval and security issues with a broad analysis of why early trading and technological success has become increasingly threatened by a recent epidemic – not of disease - but of Sea Blindness. By forgetting the sea’s crucial importance and Europe’s collective dependency on it we are unwittingly becoming increasingly vulnerable, not just to long-standing threats to marine sustainability from pollution and overexploitation of the sea’s limited resources, but also emerging threats from space and cyberspace. Based on their thorough understanding of past and contemporary trends, the authors look to the future maritime context to signpost what lies in store for Europeans.

How leaders can recast innovation's toughest trade-offs-efficiency vs. flexibility, consistency vs. change, product vs purpose-as productive tensions. Why is leading innovation in today's dynamic business environment so distressingly hit-or-miss? More than 90 percent of high-potential ventures don't reach their projected targets. Surveys show that 80 percent of executives consider innovation crucial to their growth strategy, but only 6 percent are satisfied with their innovation performance. Should leaders aim for Steve Jobs-level genius, shower their projects with resources, or lean in to luck and embrace uncertainty? None of the above, say Christopher Bingham and Rory McDonald. Drawing on cutting-edge research and probing interviews with hundreds of leaders across three continents, in Productive Tensions Bingham and McDonald find that the most effective leaders and successful innovators embrace the tensions that arise from competing aims: efficiency or flexibility? consistency or change? product or purpose? Bingham and McDonald spotlight eight critical tensions that every innovator must master, and they spell out, with dozens of detailed examples of both success and failure, how to navigate them. How do you excite customers about a product they've never imagined? When is it wise to accept what the data is telling you, and when should you ignore the data and plow forward anyway? How can you maintain stakeholders' trust and support during radical unforeseen course corrections? Bingham and McDonald guide readers through innovation's thorniest tensions, using examples drawn from the experience of organizations as varied as P&G, Instagram, the US military, Honda, In-N-Out Burger, Slack, Under Armour, and the snowboarding company Burton.
