In From Mercenaries to Missionaries, I talk about the power shift from compliance-driven roles to purpose-fuelled missions.
And I keep coming back to this:
Small, aligned teams can now outpace entire organisations — if we stop managing people like widgets.
Daniel Priestley nails it when he says that small teams, when aligned and unleashed, can solve massive challenges. Tech has levelled the playing field.
What matters now?
🧠Alignment, Autonomy, Agency. Mutual Accountability
⚡ Purpose.
🛠️ Tools that amplify rather than control.
🌱 Human skills that weren’t even on the org chart in the industrial era.
We’re not in the age of hierarchy anymore — we’re in the age of high-trust, high-autonomy, high-impact collaboration.
Rewilding the way we lead, team, and create.
Equipping people to be mission-ready, not role-bound.
Let’s stop optimising humans like machines.
Let’s start unleashing them like pioneers.
