Regenerative Leadership: A Compass for Creating Workplaces That Restore Energy and Possibility

The future of work is uncertain. Regenerative leadership offers a compass.Work has changed-permanently. Hybrid work, digital acceleration, global collaboration, and "always-on" expectations have reshaped how people live, lead, and connect. While organizations have become more flexible, many people inside them feel depleted, less engaged, and unprepared for the complexity around them.Regenerative Leadership offers a way forward.Drawing on more than twenty years in multinational organizations and a rigorous doctoral inquiry, Dr. Ute Franzen-Waschke introduces a deeply human, evidence-based approach to leadership-one that restores energy, strengthens connection, and enables people and systems to flourish.At the heart of the book is the ReGen2Lead(R) model, a practical framework for navigating the tensions of contemporary work: autonomy and accountability, flexibility and structure, wellbeing and performance. It provides language, tools, and clarity for leading across distance, building trust without physical proximity, and creating workplaces where people feel seen, supported, and able to thrive.Perfect for leaders, coaches, HR professionals, and professional bodies, this book offers actionable tools, reflective practices, and a regenerative mindset for a world where the "experiment" of new work is no longer an experiment-it is everyday reality.As Dr. Lisa Rowe, Associate Professor at the University of Chester Business School, writes: "What follows is rigorous, accessible, evidence-based and insightful, but above all, deeply human."
