I decided to write a book. Use this form to follow its launch and release.
Loosely the book is about playing the long game. I am challenging the dominant discourse of leadership and management. In the book, I suggest we need different metaphors for understanding the workplace.
I also share a tool I developed that helps folks integrate strategy and tactics.
If something here interests you feel free to add your details to this list. I will send updates as things emerge.

PhD in Workplace Learning at the University of Toronto
