Leadership:
Does it Die? series
Serious questions. Uncomfortable truths. And a dog.
I like asking questions. Especially ones that make people slightly uncomfortable because they have to think!
The Does It Die? series takes some of the things we care about at work and looks at what happens when they start to disappear.
The question is simple: Does it die?
There’s a dog in every book.
No, I can’t fully explain why.
But stick with me. It works.
Does the Dog Die?
Does the Dog Die? is a my take on everyday behaviours that shape organisational life, and how leaders and managers respond.
It asks a simple question:
Is this genuinely important - or are we just behaving as though it is?
Does the Team Spirit Die?
Following on from Does the Dog Die?, I turn my attention to something every organisation needs but few know how to maintain — team spirit.
I explore what keeps teams together, what quietly pulls them apart and why the conversations nobody wants to have are often the ones that matter most.
Available December 2026.
Does the Idea Die?
Does the Idea Die? takes a practical look at why good ideas disappear at work — and what organisations can do to keep the spark alive.
