A Field Guide for Leaders & Teams


Feral Guideship: A Field Guide for Leaders & Teams helps The Curious build trust, belonging, and creativity inside cultures designed for resilience, innovation, and real human connection.

The Curious are the explorers and signal readers who notice patterns before others do. The ones who ask better questions than they give answers. The ones who build space for others to think, speak, and grow.

Feral Guideship is your map back to purpose, belonging, and impact. It helps The Curious lead without performative shenanigans, create cultures that think, and design systems that can breathe again.

You can start anywhere.

Every path leads you back to what matters:
trust, belonging, creativity, and
the courage to let your work stay human.

A wide opening in a brick building with open gates Outside is the lush forest type area and a lake a single person is silhouetted in the open doorway walking towards the forest

The Invitation

Preface & Introduction

Reclaim what you were taught to silence. The Invitation restores trust in your ability to read signal: the questions that surfaced too early, the patterns others overlooked, the knowing you learned to override. This is where leaders stop guessing, stop performing certainty, and begin guiding from what they can actually see.

A plant stem rising out of the forest floor and emerging

The Emergence

Chapters 1–5

You cannot command growth from depleted ground. The Emergence rebuilds the internal conditions required for leadership: trust in self-support, clarity of belief, agency of choice, and a sense of belonging that is not borrowed from approval. This is where guides reorient to who they are willing to be, what they stand for, and how they choose to move in the world before their leadership ever touches a system.

The Delta

Chapters 10–11

Leadership becomes legacy when influence outlives authority. The Delta examines how guideship deposits into systems, shaping cultures where trust, creativity, and belonging regenerate long after you're gone. You are not building an organization that needs you. You are designing one that breathes, regenerates, and carries forward what matters after you.
