Description

Your power to draw the best out of yourself and others.

The old idea of leadership as having a position, that we are appointed, anointed or voted to, and the having power over people to make things happen.

In this book, I suggest the idea that inspired leadership is a moment by moment activity that we can all offer whether we have a position of leadership or not. It is about the incredible power that we can each can have with each other, not over each other. This happens most powerfully when we step out from behind our roles and share our humanness too. But most of know that we often hit significant internal resistance to authentically showing up.

The big idea of the book

The world is in need of new types of leadership, enabling people who see their primary job is to inspire and draw out the best work from people. Inspired leaders generously engage and serve, and aim to draw out the best in themselves and others, so everyone can win. Indeed, I like to think that every act of inspiration, creativity and love is an act of leadership.

Key messages of the book:

  • The primary job of a leader is to inspire so we need to keep ourselves inspired
  • The most powerful leadership asks, “How can I help you do your best work?”
  • All great leadership starts with self-leadership
  • The best leadership flows from being more of yourself, not creating a role or a self-image

Who did I write the book for?:

I wrote this book for you if you have a desire to inspire and uplift and make things better. You may be a leader, entrepreneur, visionary, trailblazer or employee who wants to offer leadership to the people you care about. You love to show up and contribute. I tend to work with leaders of projects – CEO’s, MD’s and entrepreneurs in creative areas.
