We are in the midst of a civilization-wide transformation of the scale never seen before: halving carbon emissions by 2030, reversing natural habitat loss, overhauling social inequality, tackling the mental health and wellbeing pandemic, embracing the digital revolution, and dealing with rising volatility and turbulence across all aspects of society and working-life. No organization is spared. Climate change, Covid and conflict; an increasingly dispersed multi-generational workforce that is crying out for meaning and belonging: The unrelenting pace of these leadership challenges is demanding an evolution in organizational thinking in response. The old Industrial-age of top down, organization-as-machine metaphor is breaking down and a new one is breaking through - the organization-as-living-system. Now more than ever, organizations need to adapt to disruptive innovations and new ways of working while co-creating life-affirming futures for all. Today's new-norm of unceasing transformation demands a new-norm in leadership and organizational development. Leading by Nature goes right to the heart of this agile living-systems approach, informed by the regenerative systems in the natural world to inspire practices, tools and techniques that will help us lead organizations capable of transforming and thriving in a fast-emerging future. Author of four previous books and thought leader, Giles Hutchins, draws upon over 25 years experience in leadership and organizational development, and over 10 years of senior leadership coaching and regenerative leadership practice to apply an approach to next-stage future-fit business. This is a must-read for leaders interested in leading thriving organizations amid the increasingly volatile times ahead.

The Christian Church tells gay people that they are unacceptable to God. It has falsely represented Jesus to a world that has always accepted that, if the Church says it, it must be true. There is a vast mission field out there, but the Church is singling gay people out as enemies of God as if He doesn't want them to be saved. The Church Is Dead is an attempt to convince the Church of its fundamental error regarding salvation. This book explains what the Church must now do. The Church and the gay community are not going to agree in the near future on whether homosexuality is natural. Rather than put a wedge between the two parties, however, the Church needs to decide what is important. The Church Is Dead challenges the established churches' beliefs and pronouncements on the subject of salvation, especially regarding the concept of faith plus works. It condemns the teachings of the pastors of some of the megachurches regarding tithing, and how they have used their pulpits to feather their own nests, making themselves fabulously wealthy at the expense of the poor people they cajole and bully into giving money to their churches. It is my hope that The Church Is Dead will convince the Church it's on the wrong track; that it will challenge Christians who condemn gay people because they think God expects them to; that it will encourage gay people, showing them that, even if the Church hates them, God doesn't.
