Weekend reads

Your weekend reading steer this weekend comes hot off the Inside Ideas press and my deep dive with author Giles Hutchins on Tuesday, where we talked about his latest book, Leading by Nature.

In Leading by Nature, Giles peels back the toxic leadership traits and practices that have stymied progress towards a sustainable world to reveal a model that can hopefully expedite the transition.

“We are malleable, we are plastic, we are open, we are conscious, emotional, cognitive, spiritual beings,” Giles says. “And much of the time we are woefully unaware of our potency and impact, and our ability to be programmed.”

This process of being programmed, he says, is something we should be actively engaged with.

“Unlearning and relearning is in itself a bit of an evolution because it’s always here, always has been and always will be. So we’re not actually inviting in a whole host of new things for us to equip ourselves with, we’re just opening our eyes.”

To learn about some of the ideas Giles believes can wedge open our eyes a bit further, and for more from the pages of Leading by Nature, catch up with the show now.
