Leadership by Design: The essential guide to transforming you as a leader

Description

Every leader is different; there is no one-size-fits-all solution that someone can copy. Leaders are human, with different personalities, personal preferences, and styles of communication, meaning that no two leaders can be the same. Instead of prescribing constrictive frameworks to force the reader into a cookie-cutter style of leadership, Leadership by Design acts as a mentor, guiding them towards finding their own unique style of leadership. This book is crafted as a self-development journey, providing the tools that one needs - no matter whether they're a CEO, a community leader, a freelancer or something entirely different - to find out what leadership means to them. Balancing cutting-edge theory with useful tips, data, and tasks, this self-guided course will help facilitate a transformation towards becoming the type of leader the reader has always believed they can be. We all can grow as leaders.
