IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

The last few years have changed the expectation of leadership. No longer only about decision making, critical thinking, and delivering a strategic plan, but becoming a fuller, more holistic, and human approach to leadership. Leadership that is impactful, ever enhancing and evolving. That has a greater perspective, considering both tactical solutions and strategic relevance. Leadership that is a true reflection of what a community needs to support and lead them.

What got us here will not get us there. We need Big Leadership. We need bigger thinking. We need bolder decision making.. We need brave action to create the future. This book offers straightforward insight into what makes it important for leaders to adopt Big Leadership, and the impacts if they do not. As well as providing practical ideas and approaches for how.

It is time for leaders to go big.

ARE YOU ON MUTE?

As the world scrambled to move business operations online with the outbreak of COVID, and people were challenged to become familiar with a new way of working, ‘You’re On Mute’ became one of the most used phrases in business around the globe.

Now years later, it’s no laughing matter. With more than half of employees wanting to work remotely at least 50% of the time, and more than 75% of departments expected to have some or all of their team working remotely within the next few years, online is a significant feature of the world of work.

Leveraging online is strategically significant, and likely mission critical, for creating sustainable and relevant organisations. Yet many leaders have either failed to recognise the importance of operating effectively online or failed to take decisive action.

Are you still on mute?

This book asks the important questions to help you optimise your leadership presence, influence, and authority online.

HOW WILL YOU RISE TO THE CHALLENGE?

2020 was an unprecedented year, bringing challenges that most leaders had never faced before. Leaders needed to be reactive, responsive, and cope with enormous change and a set of conditions that were largely out of their control. Many responded magnificently. Yet it isn’t over.

If 2020 was the sprint of leadership, then 2021 was the beginning of the marathon of leadership. Leaders face years of significant change and transformation. They will be challenged with the ongoing fatigue of surge capacity depletion, as well as the need to maintain relevance for themselves, their teams and their businesses in a world that is markedly different from 2019. They will be leading a long-term systemic change, all while maintaining relationships, visibility and connection to purpose in a sustainable way.

So how do leaders face up to these challenges and be high-performing over the long term?

Here are 5 practical strategies to help you activate your leadership and rise to the challenge. These simple actions will make it easier for you to be an effective and successful leader.

WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW YOURSELF?

People choose to follow those who lead. It’s that simple.

Do you have the courage to live your leadership, rather than just talk about it. To be a true leader you need to own your leadership. To choose how you will know, be and do leadership. Are you being a leader? Would you choose to follow yourself?

Are you brave enough to first lead yourself? To be a leader who will face up to their current leadership, show up at their best every day and proactively step up their leadership.

This book offers practical tools, ideas, and strategies for leaders to elevate their own daily practice of leadership, to become and to be leaders.

Drawing from a range of fields, you will find easy to implement opportunities for you to build your toolkit and grow your leadership of self. To become a more focused, more equipped, more confident and more courageous leader. A leader others will choose as their leader and aspire to emulate.

ARE YOU READY TO BE THE NEW LEADER?

It’s simply not good business to promote a leader and then fail to develop and support them. Leaders need help to develop the skills that will take them to their next level. Being a subject matter expert, high performing team member, or doing what you’ve always done is simply not enough.

Yet many organisations are not offering enough support to their new leaders. It’s time to bridge the gap between being a member of a team and leading one.

This book offers practical tools, ideas and strategies for new leaders, and leaders of leaders, to implement immediately. You will build a toolkit to focus your time and effort on the right things at the right time in the right way, and set you up for an easier transition to leadership success right now.
