Authentic Leadership

Can business really have a conscience? Is it possible to integrate money and meaning, profit and purpose?

Featuring exclusive interviews with key industry figures, Authentic Leadership explains how coaching can bring out the best in us all and get the financial sector back on its feet. A must-read for practising coaches, students, financial managers and executives, this book will show how profit and purpose can successfully co-exist.
