There’s a reason why strong leadership skills remain highly relevant and valued today. We’re constantly faced with new challenges in the workplace, often looking for new ways to solve them.
In reality, the most effective ideas behind decision-making, communication and performance are just as important today as they have ever been. Could they hold the key to working more effectively in an ever-changing environment?
Bring your questions along for Jeremy to answer live.
50 Ideas That Changed the World of Work distils the most influential concepts that have shaped how organisations operate, how leaders lead, and how people perform at work. Drawing on decades of management thinking, psychology, strategy and organisational development, the book brings together 50 powerful ideas, from foundational theories such as scientific management and emotional intelligence to modern frameworks like psychological safety, disruptive innovation and radical candour.
Each idea is presented clearly and concisely, explaining what it is, why it matters, and how it can be applied in practice. The book spans individual performance, teamwork, leadership, strategy, innovation and culture, reflecting the full complexity of today’s workplace.
At its core, the book argues that while the challenges facing organisations may feel new, many of the most effective solutions are rooted in proven thinking developed over time. By revisiting and applying these ideas, leaders and professionals can strengthen capability, improve decision-making, and drive sustained performance.
Accessible, practical and thought-provoking, the book serves as both a guide and a toolkit, enabling readers to translate timeless ideas into meaningful action in a fast-changing world of work.
