Writing on leadership, organisational change and social impact

What I write about

My writing topics are diverse but they have a common thread – how we humans can take better care of each other and our beautiful planet. I am a former international journalist with Reuters and the Financial Times, and co-author of three acclaimed business books: INdivisible, Future Work and Why Women Mean Business

IN THIS practical and accessible book, Alison Maitland and Rebekah Steele apply fresh ideas to address the gap between the promise and practice of inclusion.

Challenging conventional approaches to inclusion, they set out a coherent framework to help leaders make the changes they need to achieve visible business impact.

Work is transforming in the digital age. This book sets out the compelling case for a similar transformation in organizational cultures to boost output, cut costs, give employees more freedom and contribute to a greener economy.

Gender is a business issue, not a women’s issue. This powerful book brings together in a single, concise volume the multiplicity of opportunities available to companies that really understand what motivates women in the global workplace and marketplace.

Journalism career

I was a Reuters journalist in Paris and London, then worked for the Financial Times as a news editor, reporter and feature writer from 1986 to 2006. During eight years as Management Writer, I interviewed many prominent figures for my column on leadership and wrote about business ethics, the changing workforce, and women in the corporate world.

Prior to that, I led world stock markets coverage during the 1987 global crash, was European news editor when the Berlin Wall fell, and reported on food and agriculture at the height of ‘Mad Cow Disease’ and the GM foods scare.
