THE "HOW TO LEAD" BOOK

The leadership book every leader needs by their side

After three decades in business, making mistakes so you don’t have to, and coaching hundreds of brilliant-but-often-stressed-out leaders, I’ve written the book I desperately needed to guide me during my leadership career.

Inside you’ll discover why working harder isn’t the answer, and how to inspire others so they problem-solve and make great decisions without you needing to wade in.

It’s a practical guide for real leaders in the real world, served with a light touch.
