The Enablement Skill Stack: SECOND EDITION - The Definitive Guide to Building High-Performance Teams in the Age of AI (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181991699)

The Enablement Skill Stack is a four-layer operating framework for building genuinely capable teams. The four layers are Foundational Knowledge, Core Skill Practice, Targeted Development, and Manager Coaching. They build on each other in sequence. Skip a layer and the layers above it collapse. Run all four and you create the kind of compounding capability that turns AI from a budget line into a competitive advantage.

This is the second edition of the book I published in 2024. The framework itself hasn't changed, the thinking was sound then and the field evidence since has only strengthened it. What has changed is the world the framework operates in, and so this edition expands in three ways.

First, every chapter now carries an AI-era lens. I'll introduce a governing equation in Chapter Two (EQ × AI = HJ)that is the most useful mental model I know for leaders trying to work out what humans should do versus what machines should do in a learning organisation.
