In this episode of Get Out of Wrap, Martin sits down with Danny Wareham — psychologist, coach, speaker, and founder of Firgun — to talk about his book Constellation and the radical idea that leadership might not require a traditional leader at all.
Danny shares the research behind the book (including a deep dive into agile project teams and scrum masters), why trust works completely differently in the military versus civilian workplaces, and how intentional culture design can replace top-down leadership. They also cover the realities of self-publishing vs. traditional publishing, Danny's surreal moment finding his book on the shelf at Waterstones, and his recent recognition as a finalist for Business Book of the Year.
