"We Want to Change the World"
What allows human beings to continue acting together when certainty, heroic narratives, and easy solutions no longer work?
A forthcoming book exploring disenchantment, trust, responsibility and collective action.
Unveiling new perspectives on engagement
This book delves into the heart of engagement fatigue in purpose-driven organizations, exploring how to restore collective vitality, clarity, and commitment. It offers a fresh look at the challenges organizations face, moving beyond simple solutions to understand deeper systemic, relational, and cultural dynamics.
Key ideas for a complex world
If you take away just a few ideas from this book, let them be these: disillusionment is not failure but a developmental passage; the biggest obstacles are often invisible; we face a meaning and value crisis alongside an energy crisis; the stories that once mobilized us are reaching their limits; values matter most when certainty disappears; collective action depends on trust more than alignment; and the future is post-heroic.
This book will help you understand that the disenchantment in organizations reflects the limits of guiding narratives.
For leaders and change makers
This book is for leaders, sustainability practitioners, and change makers navigating complexity, competing values, and growing uncertainty. It explores what sustains meaning, trust, responsibility, and collective action after the loss of certainty. Rather than offering new solutions, it examines why collective action stalls despite good intentions and how disillusionment, competing values, and hidden dynamics shape organizations. It illuminates what enables mature commitment to emerge.
Find renewed capacity for action
After reading this book, you should feel less alone, more lucid, and more grounded. Not with new certainties, but with a renewed capacity to act, take responsibility, and work with others despite complexity, tensions, and uncertainty. It's an essential read for anyone committed to fostering meaningful and sustainable change.
