Introduction
In a world where generative AI is reshaping our understanding of work and leadership, Gary Lloyd's book provides fresh, innovative insights into managing and leading change. His approach equips leaders to cultivate an environment of growth and adaptation, like gardeners tending their plants, rather than the outdated mechanics of forcing change.
In addition to his pioneering book, Gary extends his innovative approach to leadership development through a unique ChatGPT App, 'The Leadership Skills Lab', which offers aspiring leaders an opportunity to role-play and practice essential leadership skills with a sophisticated AI chatbot.
Hello
My name is Gary Lloyd
I am a change leadership expert, consultant, and author with decades of experience facilitating significant, sustainable organisational change. Co-chair of Warwick Business School's Mentoring Program and author of two influential books, I bring a unique perspective to change leadership, likening it more to the work of a gardener than a mechanic. My work has generated substantial business value across various sectors, especially in financial markets and banking organisations.
About The Book
Gardeners Not Mechanics: How to Cultivate Change at Work
A revolutionary book that challenges popular "change management" recipes that have often failed to deliver sustainable value. The book highlights three critical characteristics of work ecosystems - unpredictability, interdependence, and limits of control. Author Gary Lloyd presents a new framework for thinking like a gardener called "The Elements of Gardening." This book is for anyone seeking to achieve successful and lasting change in their organisation or themselves by approaching change as a gardener rather than as a mechanic.
Given the advent of generative AI, this book is more relevant than ever. As AI continues to reshape our workplaces, understanding the dynamics of organisational change is vital. "Gardeners Not Mechanics" provides the tools and insights to navigate these changes successfully.
