How To: Be a Better Leader, Paperback

The leadership industry is vast, and yet the gap between what we want from our leaders and what we get is often huge. We know that businesses and organisations expect people at all levels to show initiative and display leadership. Perhaps you are a boss, or an aspiring leader, and are looking for a little boost or a few useful ideas.This book is designed to help you truly understand what it means to be a leader, as well as what good and bad leadership look like. Stefan Stern investigates the different ways in which men and women lead - and, crucially, how we can get nearer to genuine equality at work. He also highlights the language of leaders, and gives examples from around the world of different prominent leaders from business and politics.
