The Bottom Line is No Longer a Number.

Burnout. Disengagement. Disconnection. The old models of leadership are cracking, and the most resilient, high-performing businesses are moving in a new direction.

This international bestseller is a rallying cry for leaders and companies ready to evolve. Return on Humanity shows that putting people first isn't just the right thing to do, it's the most competitive strategy for long-term success.

Drawing on powerful stories from Syrian human rights advocates, Brazilian psychiatric reform, UK prisons, global businesses and more, Philippa White reveals how empathy, adaptability, and courage drive innovation, resilience, and results.

As Founder and CEO of TIE Leadership, Philippa has spent over 20 years helping corporate leaders rewire how they work - for good. In this book, she blends lived global experience with practical insights and powerful data to prove that humanity is not a soft skill. It's a business imperative. And will give us all a better future.

A finalist for the Business Book Awards in the Leadership category, Return on Humanity is more than a book. It's a blueprint for a new era of leadership.

Because when we prioritise humanity, businesses don't just perform better - they help build a better world.

This is a book for anyone who's ever asked: "Can business - and leadership - really be a force for good?"

If you're ready to spark engagement, ignite innovation, and lead with purpose, start here.

Industry Reviews

In an age of AI, data and analytics. It's important to understand the value of human interaction and what it can do for business and society. This book is a must read. -Sir John Hegarty, Amazon 5*

Finally a book that recognises what the world can teach business, rather than what business can teach the world. - Amazon 5*

Philippa's passion for and expertise in advocating for humanity within the corporate sphere radiate throughout the text, engaging the reader with a compelling call to action. -Amazon 5*

This is a truly seminal piece of work that not only demonstrates the benefit of a human-to-human approach to business but also highlights the imperative for a different approach to how we operate in the world, where people, the planet and business can all thrive. - Amazon 5*
