How Not to Create Heartless Leaders, Mindless Organisations (2021)
In our new book, we outline the reasons why the future workplace demands leaders who are brave for the true sake of ultimate outperformance and excellence. Such leaders empower and support transparency at their core to inform unbiased decision making, outperform the competition, maximise stakeholder value, encourage creativity, design sustainable organisations, demand accountability, and fully engage their talent.
What will drive the efforts of courageous and far-sighted leaders is a combination of transparency in all aspects and levels of the organisation: technology, management practices and policies, leadership, engagement, governance, diversity, and social responsibility. The ensuing positive impact—through the use of technology, analytics, insights, and common sense—will eliminate the space for heartless leaders to thrive and operate mindless organisations.

The Invisible Talent (2020)
There is so much talent out there to be discovered. In every city, in every organisation, in every community, in every family, and in every person around the world, there is talent. Yet, the headlines, survey data, and many business leaders persistently insist that there is a shortage of talent in developed and developing markets, in small and large organisations, and in numerous industry sectors.
There is simply no shortage of talent in the world, but there is a huge shortage of talented people who can identify talented individuals. There is a shortage of focused investment on developing technology that can truly facilitate talent discovery. And there is a shortage of authentic leadership desire to discover invisible talent to genuinely maximise returns.
Business leaders, HR professionals, investors, and talented individuals urgently need to resolve the challenge of visibility. Without transparent and innovative practices, the invisible talent will remain invisible, and businesses will remain inefficient for years to come. We need to leverage the invisible talent to take advantage of productivity and efficiency if we want to build more and better performing organisations in the future.

In conjunction with this requirement is the recognition of the need to hire the right leaders who meet the organisation’s needs, as well as the right talent at all levels who will engage with leaders and support their strategic efforts.
In highlighting the new face of leadership, this book provides practical points for maximising returns through a logical partnership among key stakeholders in any organisation.
