Coming soon... The Cultural Imperative: What's Right Is Also What Works
A moral revolution that is transforming health and performance at work
Scheduled for publication June 2026
Isiliver Books
Every organisation has a cultural imperative - whether leaders choose it consciously or not. It's shaping behaviour, driving outcomes, and determining the health and futures of the people within it, right now.
For over 30 years, Occupational Psychologist Maria Paviour has asked one question: what is the one thing that will change everything? Working across industry, the NHS, and beyond, she has distilled a set of principles that cut through complexity to identify the single most important actions leaders can take. Grounded in biology, psychology, and decades of research, this is a book that makes the case that responsible leadership is the most powerful strategy available.
Written with warmth, moral clarity, and hard-won experience, The Cultural Imperative is for leaders ready to build organisations where people genuinely flourish, and where performance follows naturally. What's right, it turns out, is also what works.
