Managing for People Who Hate Managing (Berrett-Koehler/ASTD Press 2012) has attracted effusive press and reviews and is featured in dozens of international media including television, radio, and print. The book focuses on improving leadership and building strong workforce teams.

Networking for People Who Hate Networking (Berrett-Koehler/ASTD Press 2010) refutes the common advice that to succeed you have to become an outgoing, extraverted person. Zack believes that far from shy or misanthropic, introverts tend to be reflective and focused. She shows how the very traits that ordinarily make people averse to networking can be harnessed to forge an approach that is just as effective as more traditional approaches, if not better.
