For our world to survive and thrive, we need individuals who can lead us toward a better future, whether in the corporate sector, government or society at large. What we need is exceptional leadership – not mediocre leadership – along with a commitment to continuous learning, growth and development. Business leaders have both a financial and moral obligation to uplift the people of this country. A narrow focus on profit won’t achieve this, but a culture that prioritises people can.
We need ethical leaders, visionary leaders, empathetic leaders, courageous leaders, forward-thinking leaders, transformational leaders, human-centric leaders, purposeful leaders and curious leaders.
This book serves as the antidote to the lack of mentorship and embodies the saying: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” Incorporating the collective wisdom of leadership for both today’s leaders and those of tomorrow, “The Book Every Leader Needs to Read” is packed with lessons, insights, pep talks, advice and guidance for developing your unique style and approach to outstanding leadership. It doesn’t shy away from the ecstasy (and sometimes agony) of becoming a significant leader.
If you are striving for excellence as a leader, get your pen and notebook ready. Start reading, take notes from the thousands of hours of lived experiences and list what you can start doing right now to master the art of leadership.
