Description
**Business Book Awards 2025 Finalist**
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 isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s 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. It’s 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. It’s a blueprint for a new era of leadership.
Because when we prioritise humanity, businesses don’t just perform better – they help build a better world.
This is a book for anyone who’s ever asked: "Can business - and leadership - really be a force for good?"
If you’re ready to spark engagement, ignite innovation, and lead with purpose, start here.
Advance Praise
As we hurtle towards a future dominated by data, algorithms and AI, a book about the importance of humanity is perfectly timed and a must-read. - Sir John Hegarty, Co-founder and Creative Director at The Garage Soho & The Business of Creativity
This book has restored my faith in humanity, thank you! It is very easy to get caught up in a corporate world and forget that we have control over the way we behave with each other, the way we interact with the world around us, and we can’t operate in a vacuum. The stories of resilience, flexibility, collaboration and cooperation bring to life the fact that truly knowing who you are and how you behave allows each and every one of us to purposefully make our world, including our working world, better. - Sam Theobald, Chief People Officer, Next15
In today’s transparent world, power is finally shifting back to its rightful owners – customers and employees. In this world, there will be nowhere for companies to hide. Behaviour will be everything. Return on Humanity gives us all a reason to be optimistic and to believe that capitalism – done the right way – is a force for good. - Simon Rogerson, Chief Executive Officer, Octopus Group
