LONDON, July 16, 2026 — As burnout surges, trust in institutions erodes, and organizations struggle to adapt to constant disruption, global leadership strategist Thom Dennis believes the real crisis isn’t economic or technological, but deeply human. His new book, Rewilding the Corporate Mind, posits that outdated leadership models built on control, hierarchy, and disconnection are failing both people and the planet.
“Most leadership books give you a better map of the same territory. This one changes the territory,” Dennis said.
Drawing from a rare fusion of experience — military leadership, corporate strategy, group facilitation, and healing work — Dennis makes a compelling case for moving beyond fear-based, top-down control toward regenerative leadership rooted in nature, indigenous wisdom, and systems thinking. Just as wild ecosystems regenerate when freed from domination, organizations thrive by healing imbalances; balancing masculine and feminine energies; and fostering cultures of trust, creativity, and belonging.
“The mechanistic thinking that once promised efficiency has delivered division, burnout, and a profound disconnection from the very life that sustains us,” commented New York Times bestselling author Marianne Williamson. “What Thom Dennis has done in Rewilding the Corporate Mind is rare: He has named this sickness honestly, and then offered something genuinely alive in its place.”
Rewilding the Corporate Mind challenges leaders to go beyond managing change and
embody a relational, resilient, and radically humane paradigm.
Through vivid insights and grounded practices, readers will discover how to:
• Recognize fear not as a motivator but as a structural force — one that narrows perception, suppresses creativity, and travels through organizations faster than any strategy memo
• Apply the intelligence of living systems — diversity, feedback, adaptation, and distributed decision-making — to the challenges that hierarchical control consistently fails to solve
• Understand burnout and disengagement as symptoms of inherited organizational trauma patterns, not individual weakness — and lead in ways that interrupt rather than replicate them
• Replace extraction with regeneration as the organizing logic of leadership, asking not only “how do we win?” but also “how do we create conditions where life thrives?”
• Integrate head, heart, and gut — bringing clarity, empathy, and courage together as a performance advantage, not a soft addition to it
For C-suite executives, rising managers, coaches, and changemakers in purpose-driven organizations, Rewilding the Corporate Mind provides a fresh framework for embodying the kind of leadership that brings forth a thriving world both now and for emerging challenges.
The release of Rewilding the Corporate Mind reflects a growing international movement toward nature-aligned thinking in leadership and society — an emerging shift echoed by influential voices such as King Charles III, Paul Hawken, and Kate Raworth, whose work has helped bring regenerative and ecological thinking into mainstream conversation. Rewilding the Corporate Mind builds on this emerging movement by exploring how these principles are beginning to reshape leadership, organizational culture, innovation, and the future of work.
“This isn’t soft thinking,” Dennis added. “It’s a recognition that the integration of qualities we’ve historically undervalued — intuition, empathy, collective wisdom, long-term stewardship, community-oriented compassion — is now the difference between organizations that endure and those that don’t.”
