Brave New Work (Book Club)

Imagine a workplace where bureaucracy melts away, decision-making flows effortlessly, and teams operate with trust, autonomy, and a shared sense of purpose. The Brave New Work Book Club isn’t just about reading a book—it’s about transforming how we work, manage, and lead. Join us in exploring the principles of Aaron Dignan’s groundbreaking book, unpacking real-world applications, and rethinking what’s possible in our organisations. Whether you’re a leader, team member, or change-maker, this is your space to challenge old paradigms and embrace the future of work. Ready to dive in?

Teal Unicorns at work

This course is a work in progress. In fact it is wildly experimental, the first iteration. Please buckle up and bear with us. It’s free, so we welcome your feedback to make it better for future iterations.

This course leads you through a Galloping Unicorn Book Club reading and understanding of the book Brave New Work. We aren’t affiliated with Aaron or his company – we just love the book! The syllabus is based on the book, in the context of Teal Unicorn’s body of knowledge known as Open. So you read the book in stages each week with additional lessons to show how it fits and what it means.

“Open” is wildly successful for our clients. It is our summation of everything good that is emerging globally in better ways of working. We recommend this book Brave New Work as the best introduction to that global movement. In this review you will learn about both. What a combination!

You will study and read self-paced with support from us at Teal Unicorn. Expect 3 to 5 hours a week for four weeks.

(Spend more hours if you want to: we provide additional suggestions. Spend longer on the course if you want to: we give you three months!).

This book course is one of a series .
