What Would Janet Do?

A Corporate Survival Guide for the Competent. 2026 Edition.

Every organisation has a Janet. The one who understands the system, translates the ambiguity and quietly prevents the collapse nobody else saw coming.

What Would Janet Do? is part satire, part strategy: a brutally honest eBook about surviving and thriving inside modern organisations. Born from the 1000+ viral "Janet from Accounts" skits and more than 25 million views, the 2026 edition has been rewritten cover to cover, distilling years of hard-won experience into frameworks for the people who hold everything together while everyone else talks about transformation.

Instant digital download. The PDF is yours the moment you check out.

Janet's Six Principles:

Six principles, one chapter each. The same six you'll find on the back cover, because Janet doesn't hide the method, she just knows most people won't do the work.

  1. Trust Excel, Until The ERP Is Reliable. Run the old file as a control rather than a shadow system, and know exactly what the platform has to prove before you stop.
  2. Recognise Strategic Ambiguity. Turn a meeting's warm agreement into a decision with an action, a date and a name.
  3. Recognise What You're Actually Carrying. Write down the work that arrived without a conversation, so the next request meets a decision instead of a reflex.
  4. Hold The Line In The Moment. Build the fifteen-second answer in advance, because nobody composes one with a colleague standing over their desk.
  5. Build It So It Holds Without You. Design boundaries into the week itself, so they survive your worst week and the fortnight you're away.
  6. Give Back What Was Never Yours. Return drifted work in writing, carrying a name, an owner and a date, without it becoming a conversation about whether you're coping.

Then Janet hands you the playbook.

Every chapter ends with Janet's Playbook: the chapter distilled into plain instructions you can run first thing Monday morning, without asking anyone's permission and without announcing a new you. No theory, no reflection exercises, just the exact behaviours in the order Janet uses them. Read a chapter on Sunday evening, run its playbook by Monday lunchtime.

One warning before you buy:

Somewhere in these pages you'll find yourself. The meeting that ended in warm agreement and nothing decided. The task that became yours without a single conversation. But the chapter that feels most familiar isn't the one to watch. The one that doesn't is your blind spot, and the book ends by showing you exactly where to look for it.

Why people love it:

  • Funny because it's true
  • Practical because it's written by someone who's lived it
  • Honest because it finally says what everyone's thinking, then shows you what to do about it

Who it's for:

Anyone competent enough to hold things together while everyone else talks about transformation. Because transformation doesn't start with technology. Transformation starts with competent people, preferably ones like you.
