The fruits of fours years of writing and research, and twenty plus years of working as a consultant of one form or another. I had hypothesis I wanted to test out, and this book is the result. Drawing on interviews, literature, my own experiences, psychology and a sprinkle of philosophy, I explore how it is leaders and those that sell them solutions to complex organisational and business challenges are so wedded to the myth of fixability. Underpinning this co-dependant relationship I suggest are unconscious patterns anxiety and shame driven behaviour. Heavy, eh? Well there is a unicorn farting rainbows in it and Wile E. Coyote finds his way in, so it has its lighter moments.

​

Seriously though, it is a ride, and no-one else I could find has to date explored this dynamic. As one Amazon reviewer put it, it is an "exceptionally well articulated and solid rebuff to the tsunami of ‘thought leadership’ and ever growing catalogue of managerial quick fixes". Read it and decide for yourself though.
