After working in Industry for more than 25 years I started to branch out. Fascinated by people and increasingly uncomfortable with the procedures, rules and everyday beliefs that are clung to in day to day working life, I started what is crassly named a portfolio career. I became professor of Human Enterprise at the University of Birmingham, UK. I set up my own business which has allowed me to both move into the world of mental health and counselling, while at the same time continuing to work in industry. I met my co-authors Martin Wood, Mark Bryden and Jaimie Johnson more than fifteen years ago. We shared a perspective on many things and we have been collaborating ever since. The book was a way to express and share some of these thoughts and approaches.
