Who are the really effective leaders, nowadays?  What does it take to lead this way? And how do they do it? 

Living Leadership is the first leadership book for people, like you, who have to deliver results working with the reality of the challenges in your business, the people in your team and the personality that you bring to work.   An insightful and practical lesson in how real leaders behave, day by day, this book delivers a new way of seeing leadership, and new ways of living it.

“Based on some four years of action research, Binney, Wilke and Williams provide us with an unvarnished account of leadership in action, with all its anxiety, uncertainty, false certainty and crippling expectation.  They dispel the myths of leadership, they eschew recipes and homilies; instead they give us some real insight and wisdom into the constraints and possibilities of ‘living leadership’ ." Bill Critchley, Organisation Consultant and Leader of the Ashridge Masters in Organisation Consulting

 

"Living Leadership struck a real cord with me.  In the quiet of sleepless nights it’s precisely the type of themes explored in this book that have aided my success.  Great leadership is not about slick presentation.  It’s about embracing a continual leadership responsibility as second nature in every interaction. Ultimately  it’s the ability to connect to people in a 'real time real world' way." Trevor Bish-Jones, Chief Executive, Woolworths Group plc

 

"Living Leadership shows how, when you take away the myths and misconceptions, leading can genuinely be made easier." Hans Straberg, CEO, Electrolux

 

“A 'how to' book that redefines leadership in terms of the realities and choices facing people in organisations today."   Professor Michael Osbaldeston, Director of Cranfield School of Management

 

Living Leadershipwill help you to discover within yourself the means to make real connections with people,  and make things happen in the real world.
