The Book
The Culture Trap lifts the lid on a work culture emergency. Many organisations have become dehumanised and damaging. Conventional ‘leadership’ is becoming distrusted and discredited. The Culture Trap reveals how well-meaning people get trapped in dynamics at work that harm health, quash truths, suppress joy and limit success. Results are stressed teams, an expensive exodus of talent, unhappy clients, disillusioned people and too often, tragic human cost. There is an alternative!

The H.U.M.A.N. approach
Tested and refined over many years, the H.U.M.A.N. approach is a refreshing, radically different way of working together, inviting leaders and teams to unlearn habitual, disempowering patterns of behaviour. Grounded in cutting-edge leadership practice, this unique approach liberates you from The Culture Trap, offering a rich collection of practical ways to improve collaboration, influence more effectively, grow trust and enhance accountability, creating healthier, compassionate and innovative work cultures – one interaction at a time.

The Author
Dr Jeanne Hardacre is Founder of BeTheCultureChange™ and offers refreshingly candid, independent insights from beyond the established “system”. Through three decades of research and specialist consulting, Jeanne has supported tens of thousands of leaders, managers and team members, from executive boardrooms to community prefabs. With her down-to-earth, warm yet incisive approach, she enables and emboldens people and teams at work to reshape their relationships, enhance their influence, shift ingrained power dynamics and discover radical new ways to lead change, with liberating effect.

Jeanne has personal experience of the devastating consequences when whistle-blowing becomes the only ethical option in the workplace. Combined with high-profile tragedies and injustices linked to harmful misuses of power, this energised her to develop the suite of H.U.M.A.N. culture change, leadership and team coaching programmes and to write The Culture Trap.

“We can’t legislate or policy write our way into healthier culture at work without a key ingredient: an appetite to do our work in new ways; to behave together in new ways; to communicate in new ways and to use power differently”

“Whether you adopt the H.U.M.A.N. approach individually or as a team, tangible positive change awaits – for your everyday approach, your relationships, your influence and the culture where you work”
