PAPERBACK

Leading out of Loss

In a world of suit-and-tie CEOs, the leaders who wear their hearts will win

By age 30, Michael Nitschke had lived a life well beyond his years. He’d lost his mum to mental illness and his dad to cancer in quick succession. The Nitschke name, while revered in the community, carried a turbulent history with a devastating legacy.

Part-memoir, part-business wisdom, Leading Out of Loss is a coming-of-age story – of human endurance, transcendence, and alchemising suffering into success.

This searingly honest book delicately deals with grief, the cobwebs within a family lineage, divine intuition, self-reinvention, and Michael’s personal and professional epiphany: the power of vulnerability, in business and in life.

Leading Out of Loss is a testament to depth of the human spirit – and gives you the permission to lead with heart and humility, embracing vulnerability as your greatest asset.

Four-Step Foresight

 

Imagine, lead, learn and fix your way to the future

Discover the neuroscience behind the brain’s ‘future-think’ to strategically manage change from the unwanted to the preferred.

Four-Step Foresight reveals how the brain thinks about the future and how we can utilise this knowledge to successfully plan for change. It reframes the future in terms of the relationship between brain time (our objective neurobiological reality) and mind time (our subjective mental reality) as we consciously imagine a better future, lead ourselves there, learn as we progress and finally fix our problems in the present.

Since thinking about the future (or foresight) is a uniquely individual capacity, the focus of Four-Step Foresight is on the individual (whether a leader or follower) in the first instance and the collective (whether an organisation or team) in the second. By developing the individual’s foresight capability, the collective is in a better position to negotiate continuous change successfully.

It’s Complicated

 

Why Faith-Inspired Cause Driven Organisations are so complex and what to do about it

Untangling the Maze: Mastering complexity in Faith-Inspired organisations

Faith-Inspired Cause-Driven Organisations (FICDOs) make a profound yet often unnoticed impact. They employ hundreds of thousands and serve millions daily, shaping communities and changing lives.

But all is not well. These organisations may seem straightforward, but their complexity runs deep. Too often, this leads to dysfunction—making work frustrating, draining, and unsustainable. And when an organisation struggles internally, its mission suffers.

How do we create better FICDOs?

The first step is understanding what makes them complex. Next, we must recognise that traditional corporate best practices often don’t work in FICDO contexts. Instead of forcing ill-fitting models, we need fresh approaches—ones that embrace their unique challenges and empower them to thrive in their mission.
