Sapiens - A Brief History of Humankind

Our Book of the Month is Sapiens - A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

One of our favourite books, we think everyone should read it! Most certainly anyone interested in people
leadership.

A sweeping narrative of human history, exploring how shared beliefs, power structures, and systems have shaped societies – and how they continue to impact the world – and your work - today.

Review of Net Positive: How Courageous Companies Thrive by Giving More Than They Take 

"A bold call to action that shows how business can be a force for good in the face of climate change and inequality. We chose this book because it challenges old ways of thinking and is a powerful reminder that courageous leadership isn’t just possible - it’s already happening. "
