Insights
Perspectives on leadership.
Candid, evidence-informed writing on leadership effectiveness, organisational culture, and what actually changes behaviour in senior leaders — not thought leadership for its own sake.
Leadership Effectiveness
The leadership effectiveness gap is not a skills problem. It is an information problem.
Why the $366 billion leadership development industry is producing historically poor outcomes — and what a better approach looks like.
Organisational Culture
Culture is not a project. Stop treating it like one.
Most culture programmes fail because they operate on artefacts and espoused values while leaving the underlying assumptions untouched.
Feedback
The art of honest feedback: why most 360° reviews fail — and what to do about it.
Over 90% of Fortune 500 companies use 360° feedback. About half report unsatisfactory experiences. The mechanism is sound. The implementation is not.
Behavioural Change
What actually changes behaviour in senior leaders? Less than you would hope. More than you might think.
84% of leaders show no improvement after their blind spots are pointed out. Awareness does not cause change. Something else does.
