From one of the world’s most successful global leaders in architecture and design, discover a holistic, humanist approach to leadership centering on an unwavering commitment to developing well-rounded leaders within any organization.

Lawrence Armstrong’s vision for competitive excellence is animated by investing in and caring about the development of the whole person and their surrounding community. Under his creative, layer-based approach, Ware Malcomb has become a global leader in the industrial building sector—one of the world’s most successful and admired businesses of its kind.

Now, in Layered Leadership, Lawrence distills the secrets and internal processes of Ware Malcomb’s “whole brain leadership” culture and its fearless Strategic Growth strategy, teaching companies of all kinds how to:

• Synthesize influences, metaphors, and life lessons into a style of leadership
• Build a mentoring culture that coaches and supports rising leaders
• Protect executive time for creative work
• Drive consistent growth through up and down economic cycles
• Find your formula for greatness and deploy it to attract, keep, and expand business
• Implement succession strategies that stick

When people can bring their whole selves to work, cultivate their diverse capabilities, and identify their best career opportunities, they’re on the path to becoming great leaders—and building a surrounding culture of success. An accessible handbook featuring illustrations by Larry, also an accomplished artist, Layered Leadership is an evidence-based guide to raising leaders who will prove instrumental to all kinds of companies’ success.
