Book Description
This book presents a fresh insight into the world of self-leadership. It provides answers to crucial questions that leaders have on the absolute essentials for leading effectively in uncertainty.
While the need for personal effectiveness in leadership cannot be overemphasised, and there is a plethora of books on the subject. However, the high level of unpredictability in the nature and root cause(s) of uncertainty requires that leaders adopt a constant evaluation of their skillsets in line with the dynamics of change.
Lead Disruption therefore explores the theme of effective personal leadership by offering readers essential insights for navigating the challenges of leading effectively in a rapidly changing world. A brave new world occasioned by the relentless onslaught of external and internal forces of disruption – from the health pandemic to tectonic shifts in technology adoption and consumer behaviour across all industry sectors.
These insights are based on time-tested experiences of leaders drawn through several interviews on their experiences while leading through disruption.
This book will challenge every assumption you have about your leadership journey.
