Living Leadership: A Practical Guide for Ordinary Heroes (Financial Times)

Built on a unique four-year experiment working alongside real leaders in real businesses, Living Leadership explodes the myth of the charismatic, transformational leader, to show that real progress comes from the dramatically ordinary stuff of leadership. From building relationships - not starting revolutions, by working with the grain of your organisation - not against it, and in knowing your limitations as much as pushing every boundary.

“A breath of fresh air – insightful and practical.”

Philip Cox, Chief Executive, International Power plc

 

“Cuts through the ‘how to’ leadership oversimplification and provides extremely valuable insights for those in leadership roles.”

Kai Peters, Chief Executive, Ashridge Business School

 

“Very few books are as practical and ‘real life’.”

Stuart Lancaster, Head of Elite Player Development, English Rugby Football Union

 

“... for everyone working with and delivering through people.”

Kim Bohr, Finance & HR Director, Royal Theatre, Opera and Ballet Copenhagen
