Embrace Uncertainty is not another book about polishing dashboards, feeding spreadsheets, or pretending paperwork makes work safe. It is a sharp, provocative guide for leaders and safety professionals who are ready to drop the illusion of control and build real organisational resilience instead. With 121 practical suggestions, Gerben Bekooy shows how less compliance theatre and more trust, craftsmanship, and learning from everyday work can make organisations stronger, safer, and better prepared for whatever comes next.
Veerkracht
Veerkracht (Resilience in Dutch) is not a cosy management book about staying calm under pressure. It is a challenge to the old reflex of more rules, more control, and more paperwork whenever uncertainty shows up. Gerben Bekooy lays out what organisational resilience really is, what makes organisations resilient, and why real strength comes less from compliance theatre and more from trust, craftsmanship, and the capacity to adapt when reality refuses to follow the plan.
This book was nominated for management book of the year 2024!
Unfortunately for many it is only available in Dutch.
Meer Veerkracht
Meer Veerkracht (More Resilience in Dutch) takes that message and turns up the volume. This is the practical follow-up for leaders, safety professionals, and organisations that are done pretending that safety paperwork equals safe work. With 121 concrete suggestions, Gerben Bekooy shows how to move from work for safety to the safety of work — with less box-ticking, more guided adaptability, and far more trust in the people who actually keep the system running.
Unfortunately for many it is only available in Dutch.
