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.
