I finished writing a book about GLUE in late 2022. Back then, I was worried that a new leadership book to address the complicated issues of a hybrid working world would too quickly fade in relevance and the book would be less resonant by the end of 2023. Well, the world kept turning and many organisations doubled-down on their hybrid workplace strategies, while others like Musk and the bankers on Wall Street went back to the future, Gekko-esque, and full of sound and certainty from the 1980’s. But the world remains more complicated than that and leadership requires more nuance, thoughtfullnees and heart. Organisations are crying out for leaders who can take others with them, who can connect, engage and cohere disparate souls, and make work meaningful again. So, today, the 23rd September 2023, almost a year since I pressed ‘print’ on the first manuscript of GLUE, the book finally arrived from the Publishers Routledge. My hope now is that the book creates a deeper conversation about the need for a new mode of leadership in a hybrid world, and in 2024, everyone will be talking about GLUE.
