The Bottom Line is No Longer a Number.

Burnout. Disengagement. Disconnection. The old models of leadership are cracking, and the most resilient, high-performing businesses are moving in a new direction.

This international bestseller is a rallying cry for leaders and companies ready to evolve. Return on Humanity shows that putting people first isnt just the right thing to do, its the most competitive strategy for long-term success.

Drawing on powerful stories from Syrian human rights advocates, Brazilian psychiatric reform, UK prisons, global businesses and more, Philippa White reveals how empathy, adaptability, and courage drive innovation, resilience, and results.

As Founder and CEO of TIE Leadership, Philippa has spent over 20 years helping corporate leaders rewire how they work - for good. In this book, she blends lived global experience with practical insights and powerful data to prove that humanity is not a soft skill. Its a business imperative. And will give us all a better future.

A finalist for the Business Book Awards in the Leadership category, Return on Humanity is more than a book. Its a blueprint for a new era of leadership.

Because when we prioritise humanity, businesses dont just perform better they help build a better world.

This is a book for anyone whos ever asked: "Can business - and leadership - really be a force for good?"

If youre ready to spark engagement, ignite innovation, and lead with purpose, start here.
