Rupert Brown - Available September 2025

The way we lead organizational change isn’t working. Brutally honest and refreshingly human, this is a manifesto for leading change differently.
"Lost in Transformation," is well-researched and draws from interviews with executives (founders, CEOs, board members) and experts in leadership, organizational development, change management, philosophy, and executive coaching. It offers a unique opportunity to reset relationships, respect, and trust in an ever-evolving world.
This must-read book is essential for leaders who aspire to transform with empathy and self-awareness. It's crafted for organizational leaders, Human Resources professionals, change practitioners, and those who have experienced the effects of too much change. It provides valuable tools, reassurance, and space for reflection.
Filled with gritty stories from the paradoxical mess of organizational life, this book offers no polished business school case study or simplistic change model. Instead, anticipate fascinating tales from behind the scenes and candid insights into the minds of those navigating the dark corridors of organizations. This book poses vital questions about how we can cope in the face of uncertainty.
