About Working Origins

Working Origins is a leadership framework based on the development of our human species. The framework presents simply models that anyone in the modern workplace may find easy to understand. Useful lessons are extracted and applied to how people best work together today, and how we may overcome typical workplace challenges.

The Leadership Manifesto introduces Working Origins by purpose, approach, and audience. It more fully describes the models and framework used.
