Published work and core frameworks

Management book

Competency Web: The Corporate DNA

Competency Web: The Corporate DNA positions competencies as a strategic organisational asset, not simply a responsibility of human resource or talent management. First published in 2002 and now being revised, the book offers an integrated framework for creating, connecting, developing, deploying and continually renewing competencies, together with tools for implementation. Its relevance extends across leadership, strategy and organisational development: the capabilities an organisation builds and sustains help determine its differentiation, long-term competitiveness and capacity to adapt. In this sense, competency management is central to future-proofing the enterprise.

POWER AND POLITICS — Politics for Everyone by Raj Shekhar, book cover

Management & strategy

Power & Politics

Power determines what gets done. Politics shapes how people acquire, influence and exercise that power. Yet politics extends far beyond politicians and governments. It operates wherever people pursue interests, compete for resources, negotiate differences and influence decisions—from boardrooms and institutions to communities and personal relationships. Drawing on political philosophy, history, psychology, sociology and management, Power & Politics explores how power is acquired, exercised, defended, challenged and lost. Moving beyond political science and professional politics, the book examines the underlying processes that shape human interaction and collective action. It offers readers a practical understanding of political realities—and the insight to navigate them with greater awareness, effectiveness and responsibility.
