The Everyday Leader

Reviews / Votes

As a professional coach that has been fortunate to have worked with some very successful teams at the highest levels, I have had the word leadership re-defined for me on numerous occasions. The Everyday Leader is an excellent read that hits the mark on so many levels; it paints a clear picture on the importance of leadership in the 21st century, it provides real-world examples of ordinary people performing extraordinary tasks, and it is a commonsense example of how doing it right on a daily basis sets you up for success. I am in the leadership business and, at the end of the day, I believe people want to be led. The Everyday Leader is an authentic look at how living your life in accordance with a strong value system and having the courage to act can help you identify situations (however big or small) that provide leadership opportunities. -- Jay Woodcroft, Professional Hockey Coach If you're a leader looking to implement dynamic changes, this stimulating read will put you on the right track. -- Angus Thirlwell, CEO and Co-founder, Hotel Chocolat An honest and powerful examination of the responsibilities of those who aspire to lead others. -- Ranulph Fiennes, explorer and writer An innovative, enjoyable, absorbing and original book that explores what leadership means and how it impacts others around you, both in the work and family arenas. -- Richard Knight OBE, Chief Operating Officer, Newcastle International Airport Highlights those moments in every day when we all have the power to affect outcomes more positively. Brilliantly accessible advice. -- Marshall Goldsmith, bestselling author A modern-day Dale Carnegie, this book will help you lead fearlessly in life and in work. Unmissable! -- Vicki Psarias, bestselling author and founder of Honestmum.com John, Rafael and Kevin have done a brilliant job in bringing together real life leadership stories with short academic explanations. -- - Malcom Diamond MBE, Chairman, Trifast Plc, DiscoverIE Plc and Flowtech Fluidpower Plc This book is full of practical examples that help me lead my business everyday. -- Sam Dreyer, CEO, Antidote Events The book strikes the balance between rigour and relevance perfectly. It is packed with practical wisdom: great examples that are based on theories that don't get in the way of the practical insights. -- Dr Irene Garnelo-Gomez, Lecturer in Reputation and Sustainability at the University of Reading As a talent leader within a global organization, it is very helpful to find books like this one in the universe of literature that exists around leadership. The advice within the book provides rich and deep content while keeping the chapters short and to the point. As a reader, I felt very engaged by the relevant stories and examples provided. The book serves as a great reminder that most of us do business in a globalized world and, for me, added cross-cultural perspectives that many of us talk about in business conversations but find hard to quantify in our day to day practices. A solid read, highly recommended. -- Nick Bizic, Director of Global Career Management, American Bureau of Shipping The Everyday Leader features excellent coverage on vision and values. More than ever, change is an important element, and how it is embedded into an organization is critical. -- Ellis Jacob, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cineplex Inc.
