Description
Make Your Mark: Five Hidden Keys to Great Leadership - Steve Lawrence - Wilkinson Publishing (Paperback)
Make Your Mark: Five Hidden Keys to Great Leadership provides a fresh approach to the age-old question of how to develop authentic leadership. It highlights the vital role personal character plays in the way people are influenced through relational attributes. Failures of leadership abound in our contemporary landscape of business, politics and sport. Often these are not the result of strategic slip or technical incompetence, but rather failures of character.
Steve Lawrence draws together a rich tapestry of stories of public leaders from history and literature, both ancient and modern, including his own striking experience, offering examples of leadership that will build trust, maximise collaboration and shape culture. Each chapter outlines the Five Hidden Keys to Great Leadership and presents a series of questions for evaluative self-reflection.
