Only Human · the newsletter

A short read on the human stuff at work.

Every Thursday I write Only Human: practical thinking on leadership, belonging, and what it takes for good people to do good work. One idea, grounded in behavioural science, written to be used. No filler, easy to unsubscribe, and never sold on.

What you get

One idea, every week, that you can actually use.

Most of what crosses your inbox about leadership is either thin or theoretical. Only Human is neither. Each edition takes one thing about how people actually work, behaviour, belonging, the nervous system, the conditions we build around each other, and turns it into something you can do something with by Monday. It is the thinking behind the keynotes, the workshops, and the books, in a five-minute read.

Bias is not a character flaw. It's a cognitive default that requires active interruption.

Not having the answer is a leadership position, not a leadership failure.

The beliefs you don't know you have are the ones running your leadership.

Vulnerability flows downward from the leader first.

For people to work well, they need to belong.
