This challenging book will help you look at the real root cause of your results – your mind. It explains why effective leadership must start with the individual, demonstrating that progress is the result of a sequential growth process from the inside out. Amongst the core principles explored are:

• The style of leadership needed if businesses are to respond positively to the radical changes taking place in world markets

• Why character and integrity are essential foundations in high performance leadership
• The vital importance of lifelong learning and how to reinvigorate your learning capability
• How understanding people better can transform your results and those of your company
• The critical and commonly overlooked aspects of corporate culture that are indispensable to high performance
• Why creativity rather than competition will produce the best results from your team.

Being The Effective Leader is your handbook to enable you to not only become more effective but also to gain more fulfilment in the process. It provides simple lessons that can be used every day to transform your relationships with others and shows you how to become that most effective of leaders – someone who creates leaders around you.

Extensive research has conclusively demonstrated that leadership is a vital element in all outstandingly successful enterprises, not just at the top but at every level. If you are seeking to achieve more, whether you are the head of a multi-national, aspiring to your first management position, or running your own business, this book is for you.
