- News headlines about you three years from now. Try this in a group. Agree. Then start seducing people. (Leadership for dummies like me?)

- My well intentioned food fed my well intentioned thoughts. How weird.
- ‘Self, us and now’: the very old, uncomfortable trio for a modern look at leadership.
- The two in-trays: ‘Time will solve’ and ‘Time has solved’. And some gods to take care of.

- The Ordinary Irrationals
- What kind of association? What you think you are, where others see you, and where you may end up
- Thinking leadership in terms of legacy. There will be one
- Why getting rid of inefficient processes in the organization is so hard. Anthropology explains it.
- Organizational Physics. The First Law.
