StormĀ inĀ a
Teacup
A book about why work was already broken - and why pretending otherwise is no longer an option.Ā
JOIN THE STORM IN A TEACUP WAITING LISTFor most of my career, I watched organisations dismiss the same problems as āsmallā.
- A conversation avoided.
- A decision delayed.
- A team quietly disengaging.
Nothing urgent.
Nothing dramatic.
Just a storm in aĀ Ā
Teacup.
Until it wasnāt.
Iāve spent decades inside businesses - supporting change, fixing operating models, listening to what people say privately and deny publicly.
The truth is uncomfortable:
Work didnāt break because of COVID.
COVID exposed what had always been wrong.
Control over trust.
Process over people.
Productivity measured, humanity ignored.
The system limped along - until it couldnāt.
When the world stopped, we had a once-in-a-generation chance to rebuild work properly.
Instead, most businesses rushed to recreate the same models - digitally, remotely, and under more pressure than ever.
Now leaders are exhausted.
Employees are disengaged.
Performance is stalling - quietly.
This book is my line in the sand.
Storm in a Teacup is not a leadership manual.
Itās not a productivity playbook.
And itās not a reaction to a trend.
Itās a reflection from inside the system on:
- Why the āsmall stuffā at work was never small
- How people-first issues became business risks
- And why doing a 180 on how we lead, listen and work is no longer optional.
This is the thinking Iāve worn for years - now written down.
Along the way, I share:
- The thinking that shaped my work and tools
- Why structured, human conversations became non-negotiable
- And how a wider movement to rehumanise work is now emerging - not as rebellion, but as necessity.
Not theory.
Lived experience.
