“Make It Human argues a powerful case for why and how our model of work needs to change. It provides a vision and practical advice for nurturing teams and organisations in which everyone can thrive.” David Leigh, CEO of AMS “For years, leaders have focused on ways to sustain business results, but they’ve rarely started with what we, as humans, need to thrive. Make It Human will have you rethinking this equation and leave you feeling ready to make a lasting difference, for people and business!” Jen McCollum, CEO of Catalyst and author of In Her Own Voice “The world of work is ripe for revolution. Make It Human provides the path forwards, illustrating how we have been overlooking our greatest gift and opportunity – to make it human.” Kate Bravery, author of Work Different: 10 Truths for Winning in the People Age and Mercer’s global advisory solutions and insights leader “Make It Human is required reading for all CEOs and chief HR officers who want to shape a future of work where people provide a human competitive advantage.” Nick Lynn PhD, author of Employee Experience (EX) Leadership: Build trust through employee experience and engagement “Make It Human is an essential read for HR leaders navigating the challenges of (re-)humanising the employee experience amidst technological advancements and productivity pressures. At last, we have a playbook for the future of work!” Adrian Seligman, member of the executive board, Top Employers Institute “Sarah McLellan challenges the organisations of today that are still operating with little focus on the humans that run them. We have reached a tipping point, as company cultures are cracking under the weight of disruption, and we need to find new ways to lead business by focusing on what we are good at: being human. Sarah explores practical models, new insights and tells personal stories to bring to life her guidance which will enable all of us to contribute to building happier and healthier human workplaces.” Liz Rider, organisational psychologist, leadership expert and LinkedIn Top Voice
