Leadership is lost WITHout OUR humanity
Leadership will always be human. Leadership does not ask us to rise above our humanity, it asks us to stand with it. We are human – leadership is nothing without it.
In a world of intelligent technology, leadership teams are expanding their human intelligence, as well as their digital flair. Collective human intelligence outperforms individual brilliance. More…
Leaders are bringing humanity back to leadership. Courage and kindness, judgment and compassion, humility and fairness – virtues were once the heart of leadership. Now, human responsibility, moral complexity and corporate health, are bringing humanity back. More…
HUMAN INTELLIGENCE
Despite the genius of intelligent technology, human intelligence matters more – we cannot delegate moral authority, human sensitivity, ethical judgment, or corporate responsibility.
Human intelligence is not individual brilliance. It’s the collective intelligence made between us when we come together, to think and to talk. We need it to share our technical expertise, market knowledge, and strategic ideas. We use it with moral imagination to weigh opportunities, and make difficult rational and ethical decisions.
Human intelligence differentiates us from AI – it’s our leadership premium. Those who have it, will be prepared when it must take precedence over AI.

Organisations need leaders with human depth and digital flair, with moral authority and good judgement. With intelligent technology, humanity in leadership has become even more critical. Virtue was once at the heart of leadership – leaders are putting it back.
The Return to Ourselves features inquiry-led conversations on humanity, purpose, belonging, voice, courage, impact and guardianship – robust, ethical leadership for work that needs it.
The Return to Ourselves is always customised to develop current and future leaders, giving you a leadership culture where leaders feel honoured to lead.

Collective intelligence outperforms individual brilliance – but it’s rare. When leaders and teams get together to think out loud, human inquiry brings collective intelligence into play.
It works like an intelligent assistant – but it’s human. Human inquiry enables attentive dialogue – a combination of advocacy and inquiry, idea generation, conscientious listening, and serious collegiate critique. It is the engine that builds your human intelligence premium.
I’ve used this methodology with executive teams and future leaders for over 30 years. Human dialogue held with care, focus, and a commitment to get work done, is human responsibility at its best.

I offer human intelligence for leadership teams who want to think well and make sound decisions when they get together to talk. This is for teams leading strategy, operations, distribution, product development, business improvement, and culture change… and teams leading finance, HR, IT, legal, supply chain and cross-functional projects.
I offer The Return to Ourselves as a leadership development service for organisations putting humanity at the heart of leadership – it builds your human leadership premium, and prepares leaders to lead with humanity.
My services show how we can do this, together..
