Insights
Notes on Sustainable Leadership
Insights is where Dave Chauhan explores the hidden human cost of modern performance culture, from burnout and disengagement to sustainable leadership, Human Debt, and the systems that shape how we work. Drawing from real-world leadership experience, The Missing Benchmark philosophy, and the principles behind Nautical Leadership, these insights challenge leaders to rethink what successful performance actually requires.

In the spirit of learning from timeless wisdom, I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we gather, work, and write. I live and work on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation. I pay my deepest respects to their Elders—past, present, and emerging—and recognise their enduring connection to country, which continues to teach us about resilience, community, and navigating with purpose.
