THE CULTURAL CONUNDRUM: Why Your Workplace Smells Like Shit, and How to Air it Out!
Part VI of The Shitty Leadership Series
Most organisations don’t have a culture problem.
They have a behaviour problem.
In The Culture Conundrum, Mark Robinson cuts through the posters, perks, and corporate theatre to expose what culture actually is:
the behaviours leaders reward, tolerate, ignore, and excuse every single day.
This book takes you inside the real causes of cultural rot:
Values that look great on the wall but collapse in practice
Leaders who protect top performers while poisoning trust
Fear, gossip, and toxic positivity masquerading as “professionalism”
Workplaces that rely on optics instead of ownership
And then it does something most leadership books don’t—it holds up the mirror.
Because culture isn’t created by “them.”
It’s created by you. Every day. In how you lead, communicate, avoid, and justify.

THE ACCOUNTABILITY REVOLUTION: Making Better Decisions in a Blame-Shifting World: Part 5 of The Shitty Leadership Series
From boardrooms to break rooms, accountability has become a dying art, replaced by finger-pointing, spin, and enough corporate jargon to choke a moose.
This isn’t another fluffy business book promising “alignment” and “synergy.” It’s a punch to the ego with a side of sarcasm. Inside, you’ll uncover:
Why blame-shifting is the laziest leadership tool since “let’s circle back.” The real cost of assumptions, communication double-standards, and decision-making by gut (a.k.a. corporate roulette). How your ego convinces you it’s everyone else’s fault—while you’re the one lighting the dumpster fire. Practical (and slightly uncomfortable) ways to finally own your choices without spiralling into self-loathing.
Whether you’re a leader, a follower, or the poor sod caught in between, this book will make you laugh, wince, and—if you’re honest—see yourself on every page.
The revolution isn’t about being perfect. It’s about cutting the crap, taking ownership, and finally doing the one thing shitty leaders refuse to do: grow up.

Unmasking Your Illusions: Embracing Your Truths in the Age of Self-Deception
Have you been lying to yourself. This book will help you answer that.
You think you know yourself? You may not. You think you’re in control? Not even close. Your ego has been quietly running the show while you buy into carefully crafted illusions, convinced you’re self-aware. But let’s get real—you’re probably living on autopilot, dodging discomfort, and clinging to a version of yourself that feels safe, not true.
This book isn’t here to pat you on the back and tell you “you’re doing great.” It’s here to rip the blindfold off, drag your illusions into the light, and show you exactly how you’ve been bullshitting yourself—and what it’s costing you.
A Deep Dive Into Self-Deception – The ego’s a sneaky bastard, and it’s been feeding you false narratives to keep you comfortable. Spoiler: Comfort is the enemy of truth.
The Shitty Leadership Effect – Ever wonder why terrible bosses ruin more than just work? Because toxic leadership spills over into every part of life—home, relationships, and even how you see yourself. You don’t get to clock out of being an asshole.
Six Brutally Honest Steps to Self-Awareness – No fluff, no feel-good affirmations, just a straightforward guide to recognizing your own bullshit and actually doing something about it.
Cognitive Dissonance & The Lies You Keep Telling Yourself – That internal tug-of-war? That’s your brain fighting reality because the truth is inconvenient. Time to shut that down.
Ego, Sabotage, and Why You Keep Getting in Your Own Way – If you’ve ever wondered why you keep hitting the same walls in life, work, or relationships, it’s because you’re the problem. (Good news: You can also be the solution.)
Practical Exercises That Force You to Look in the Mirror – Because reading about change and actually changing are two very different things.
People who are finally sick of their own bullshit.
Leaders who suspect they might be the problem (trust me, your team already knows).
Anyone tired of playing the same broken record in life, work, or relationships.
Those ready to take a long, hard look at themselves—no filters, no excuses.
If you’re looking for a soft, feel-good self-help book that strokes your ego, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to burn down the illusions, strip away the excuses, and actually change—Unmasking Your Illusions is the slap in the face you didn’t know you needed.
Your ego is hoping you scroll past this.
Your real self is begging you to read it.
