Rewilding the Corporate Mind: Rediscovering Nature's Blueprint for Leadership in an Age of Disruptio

In a world unraveling from environmental crisis, social fragmentation, and institutional collapse, clinging to outdated leadership models isn't just ineffective-it's dangerous.

Hierarchies built on control, competition, and mechanistic thinking are breaking down under the weight of complexity. Rewilding the Corporate Mind is an invitation to lead differently-by returning to the deep intelligence of living systems and reclaiming the full depth of our human nature.

Drawing from a rare fusion of experience-military leadership, corporate strategy, group facilitation, and healing work-Thom Dennis makes a compelling case for moving beyond fear-based, top-down control toward regenerative leadership rooted in nature, indigenous wisdom, and systems thinking. Just as wild ecosystems regenerate when freed from domination, organizations thrive by healing imbalances, balancing masculine and feminine energies, and fostering cultures of trust, creativity, and belonging

This book challenges leaders to go beyond managing change and embody a relational, resilient, and radically humane paradigm. Through vivid insights and grounded practices, discover how to:

• Lead with presence, vulnerability, and relational wisdom
• Navigate uncertainty through nature-aligned principles
• Break cycles of burnout and toxic performance culture
• Cultivate communities of meaning, purpose, and innovation
• Become stewards of a regenerative future rather than casualties of collapse

Whether you're a C-suite executive, a rising manager, a coach, or a changemaker in a purpose-driven organization, Rewilding the Corporate Mind offers a fresh framework for embodying the kind of leadership that brings forth a thriving world both now and for emerging challenges.

Foreword by Dean Carter: Former Head of Global People & Culture and Shared Services at Patagonia

From Marianne Williamson:

We are living through the collapse of an old world, and most of us sense it, even if we have not yet named it. The mechanistic thinking that once promised efficiency has delivered division, burnout, and a profound disconnection from the very life that sustains us. What Thom Dennis has done in Rewilding the Corporate Mind is rare: He has named this sickness honestly, and then offered something genuinely alive in its place.

From Anita Novak, PhD

Written with the depth of a philosopher and rich with examples and reflective practices, this book invites leaders not just to think differently-but to be different. In the face of widespread uncertainty, disruption, and transformation, Rewilding the Corporate Mind belongs in every boardroom.
