Through the Work-Glass: The Curious Case of People, Organisations and Government

“Through the Work Glass,” is a whimsical book, a creative adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, applying its fantastical elements to explore the complexities of modern work.

The story follows Alice's journey through various allegorical settings, such as "The Looking-Glass Office" and "The Garden of Growth and Stagnation," encountering familiar Carroll characters who represent different aspects of organisational life, highlighting challenges like generational differences, leadership styles, and the evolving nature of work itself.

The book uses these fantastical scenarios to examine the interplay between people, organisations, and governments in navigating the changing workplace, emphasising the need for adaptability, collaboration, and trust to overcome the inherent absurdities and contradictions of modern work structures.

Ultimately, it advocates for a connective approach to work, emphasising distributed leadership, flexible work styles, and the importance of weaving a strong network of interconnected individuals and organisations.
