Co-founder and CEO of Cultivating Leadership, working with senior leaders on complexity, adult development and decision-making under uncertainty. Author of five books published by Stanford University Press.
Why this placement
Five books with Stanford University Press is the most rigorous publication record on this list. A university press applies peer review and academic editorial standards that no trade publisher does, and under a rubric weighting published work at thirty per cent with recency and originality both counted, that is worth more than a larger stack of trade titles.
Her work on adult development and complexity is original scholarship applied to practice rather than practice dressed in borrowed theory — the distinction the thought-leadership markers are designed to detect.
Editorial notes and exclusions
- Her only third-party recognition is a Thinkers50 Coaches50 listing, which is an unranked alphabetical list rather than an award. She ranks sixth on publication strength, not on accolades, and that trade-off is stated rather than hidden.
- Widely described as New Zealand-based; her own firm's current profile states France. Corrected here.
