Why subscribe?
This Substack gives you the latest about ways to organise, lead, manage, learn and live which are BOTH humane AND effective. It’s easy to be nice but useless. It’s assumed that to be effective you have to be brutal. How to be both? I am publishing new writing every Wednesday.
I’ve spent thirty years investigating ways to be both effective AND humane. My books include:
The Solutions Focus: Transforming change for coaches, leaders and consultants (Nicholas Brealey Books, 2024, originally published 2002 and revised second edition 2007) with Paul Z Jackson. A worldwide bestseller in the coaching and management field, 30,000 copies in 11 languages. Now in a fully revised third edition.
Host: Six new rules roles of engagement for teams, organisations, communities and movements (Solutions Books, 2014, with Helen Bailey). Starting a new movement in leading as a host, not a hero (or a servant).
Hosting Generative Change: Creating containers for creativity and commitment (Bushe Marshak Institute, 2020). Hosting and Solutions Focus in dialogic organisational development.
The Next Generation of Solution Focused Practice: Stretching the world for new opportunities and progress (Routledge, 2021). Pulling together the latest in SF work with a new description of HOW it works.
