As a business psychologist, educator, consultant and author, David has published extensively on medical communication in healthcare and on organisational leadership. His latest work on leadership, authored with Professor Adrian Furnham of the Norwegian School of Business and Jon Cowell of the Edgecumbe Consulting Group, is titled Leadership: No More Heroes and is in its third edition (published by Palgrave Macmillan, London, 2021). His other latest book, Work-Life Matters, was also published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2021 and offers a sideways look at work-life balance and an introduction to job-crafting, along with reviewing the history and future of work and highlighting the need to fit jobs to people rather than the reverse.
