Leadership is lost WITHout OUR humanity
Leadership has always been human. Leadership does not ask us to rise above our humanity, but to stand more firmly in it. We are lost without it.
In a world of intelligent technology, leadership teams want deeper human intelligence. When they get together to talk, they want the collective intelligence that goes beyond individual brilliance. More…
Human virtue underpins our evolutionary success – not because virtue created leadership, but because it created the relational conditions – and then the collective intelligence – by which we were able to adapt and survive. Our future depends on the return to ourselves. More…
executive INTELLIGENCE
Despite the genius of intelligent technology, Executive Intelligence will always matter more – we cannot delegate corporate responsibility, moral authority, human sensitivity or ethical judgment.
Our Human Mind is not individual brilliance. It’s the collective intelligence made between us when we get together and talk. More than knowledge, it includes how well we think, imagine and decide as one team. It includes our intellectual, emotional, social, and ethical intelligence – human being, at its very best.
Our Human Mind differentiates us from AI – it’s our human leadership premium.

Organisations need leaders with human depth and digital flair, with moral authority and good judgement. With intelligent technology, humanity in leadership is even more critical. Virtue was once the heart of leadership – moral integrity has always earned the trust and respect by which leaders lead.
The Return to Ourselves offers inquiry-led development for leaders looking for virtue-led leadership; for organisations building a leadership culture built on kindness, courage, purpose, belonging, voice, impact and guardianship. Corporate leadership crumbles without moral strength.
The Return to Ourselves is customised to develop current or future leaders. It builds 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, human inquiry is the catalyst that 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. This 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 Our Human Mind for leadership 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 also offer Leadership with Humanity for leaders and organisations returning humanity to the heart of leadership. Take a look at The Return to Ourselves for an illustration of what could be included in a leadership service designed just for you.
Human inquiry is a methodology for any group with a complex problem to solve and a desire to solve it with their collective, human intelligence.
