A ramble about human growth at work

Wilding is the concept of letting nature regenerate without our interference and it is yielding incredible results. When we move aside, the natural world can show its resilience. In this short essay, we consider how to apply the idea of wilding as a metaphor, to human nature. From stories of child-led education, through to the workplace, we imagine how we could adopt wilding as an alternative lens through which to look at a different way of designing organisations. If nature can bounce back when we get out of the way, is it possible that human nature could regenerate given the freedom to do so?

I cannot recommend this book highly enough! "Wilding Organisations: A ramble about human growth at work" is the most original take on new ways of working that I’ve read. Download it for free or receive a copy for the cost of printing and postage only. Because the author, Jon Barnes, is lovely. Let’s get out of the way!

Everybody is loving it. Every time I talk to them, they are buzzing about it. They are loving the autonomy, they are loving the influence they’re having on the business.
