Synopsis

How can you lead with compassion, authenticity and success - whether you're leading a team or a complex organization?

This wide-ranging collection pulls together leading innovation experts to share their failures, successes and their secrets to being a successful leader. It highlights dilemmas which common to leaders in any organizations, but which are critical to anyone working in human services. These include the power of diversity for improving practice, being an emotionally literate leader, how to handle risk and the blame game and the central role of trauma-informed practice.

Human Leadership is required reading for any leader looking to make a positive impact in the fields of health, social care, mental health, education and other helping professions.
