The Animals We Became

What builds an institution is not always what allows it to endure.

In this compact parable, Bill Hardy reflects on the archetypes that shape organisations - and on the subtle shifts that occur when authority resists transition.

There is no dramatic collapse here. No singular failure. Only accumulation - of instinct, of attachment, of competing interpretations of strength.

The Animals We Became is a measured reflection on power and succession - and the discipline required to ensure that leadership evolves before it is forced.
