H(R)evolution Co-authored with Dr Alan Watkins | Published by Routledge
H(R)evolution makes the case that HR must fundamentally reimagine itself — not tinker at the edges, but transform from the inside out. Written with leadership scientist Dr Alan Watkins, it introduces the Paradox wave concept: the idea that the most important challenges facing organisations can't be solved, only navigated — by leaders willing to hold complexity rather than collapse it.
Available from Routledge and Amazon .
Nick's forthcoming book takes the Paradox wave into the AI age — examining what it really means for HR when technology can do more, but humanity matters more than ever. Drawing on original research and thirty years of observing organisations up close, Paradox HR offers HR directors a new way of thinking about their role, their function, and their future.
