Exciting News: BOLD is Now Available in English!
Today, I’m thrilled to announce that our award-winning book, BOLD: A New Era of Strategic HR, is now available in English on Amazon and other booksellers, including Barnes & Noble.
Originally released in Swedish over a year ago, it was really refreshing to see our book quickly sparking widespread interest. We are enthused to receive so many requests for an English translation to reach a global audience, which we can now satisfy.
Authored by the HR Lead Team at Spotify, BOLD serves as a resource created by practitioners for practitioners – a fresh take on what HR can be when approached with creativity and courage. Our ambition was to write something that shows how we challenge traditional thinking, something that would invite you, as HR professionals, to step outside the ordinary, take calculated risks, and lead with boldness.
While initially intended for HR professionals, we’ve been delighted to see its growing appeal among CEOs, who have embraced the book as a modern and concise guide to progressive management. At the Google Cloud Summit in Warsaw earlier this month, where every participant received a copy, Magdalena Dziewguć, Country Director of Google Cloud Poland, took to the stage and stated several times: “This book should be mandatory reading at every business school.”
We couldn’t be more proud of the impact BOLD is having. It’s designed to encourage readers to pause, critically question, zoom out, and discover new ideas – all while strengthening their approach to HR. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a curious newcomer, we believe there’s something within its pages that will resonate with you or inspire a fresh perspective.
We’re also incredibly proud to share that all royalties from the English edition, as well as the Polish and Swedish versions, are donated to Min Stora Dag, supporting children with critical illnesses to experience joy and create lasting memories.
A heartfelt thank you to the Empik Go team for the collaboration and to Magdalena Dziewguć for pushing us to bring the English book to fruition now, rather than later. Additionally, we extend our gratitude to our friends at Sanoma Utbildning for publishing the Swedish edition.
We dare to shamelessly promote BOLD not just because of its message, but because of the cause it supports. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
A special thank you to Johanna Tingvall and to the best HR team around. You are everything!
