About this title

Synopsis

Out of Office: Does Time in Nature Make Better Leaders?

What if the best leadership lessons aren’t found in the boardroom, but in the wild?

In Out of Office, discover how stepping outside can transform the way we think, lead, and make decisions. Grounded in research, real-world examples, and personal experience, this book explores the surprising ways nature shapes leadership—enhancing adaptability, sharpening focus, and fostering creativity.

Why This Book?

📌 It’s a Speech That Became a Mission. This book grew from a keynote address at an Outdoor Education Conference, where the question—does time in nature make better leaders?—opened up far more than could fit in a single talk.

📌 It’s an Example of Its Own Message. Written in forests, along riverbanks, and on open moors, the ideas within this book are a direct product of time spent outdoors—proof of the power of nature in shaping leadership.

📌 It’s a Practical Primer. Designed to be quick to read, easy to carry, and immediately useful, this book offers insights you can test for yourself. Whether you're a CEO, educator, team leader, or simply someone looking for a fresh perspective, it provides a roadmap to integrating outdoor time into your leadership practice.

📌 It’s a Force for Good. Proceeds from this book support alumni of The Outdoors Group, helping young people transition from Forest School to their first steps in the professional world—funding interview outfits, equipment, and opportunities to become the next generation of outdoor leaders.

What You’ll Discover:

🌿 How nature enhances focus, decision-making, and problem-solving (backed by neuroscience and real-world leadership studies).
🌿 Why time outdoors fosters better team dynamics and emotional intelligence.
🌿 Lessons from leaders who think beyond four walls—CEOs, military strategists, and history-makers who led with nature in mind.
🌿 Actionable ways to integrate nature into leadership—whether through simple daily habits or organisational shifts.

If you’ve ever felt that the best ideas come while walking, or wondered why the outdoors clears your mind, this book is for you.

Step outside. Lead differently.
