How is your book helping others?

This book helps managers and leaders reach their true potential and enhance their leadership effectiveness, to be successful at work and home. Whilst it is based on robust academic PhD research it it practical, accessible and is packed full of exercises to develop one-self. The book has been written in a way for the busy leader to dive in and digest what is needed, in the limited time they have available. Unlike other books in this area it provides a clear and usable definition of what self-awareness is, and outlines why self-awareness is critical to leading and living through uncertainty. The author argues that self-awareness is what is most needed in this uncertain world to lead effectively. This is what one leader said about the book: "A 'must-read' and a 'must-do' for leaders at every level, it challenges traditional notions and unexamined beliefs about self-awareness and how it informs and shapes how leaders behave and perform."
