About this listen

This book will appeal to leaders and aspiring leaders in every type of organisation. It explains the why and how of creating successful organisations with amazing cultures where people flourish.

It is a practical leadership handbook full of real-life stories, insights and tips based on the authors’ many years of experience in senior leadership roles. A key insight is the need for leaders to recognise that one size does not fit all in the way they lead their organisation and interact with their people. Leaders need to be adaptive to the context and the person.

To enable this the authors have developed the concept of the “5 hats of adaptive leaders.” These enable leaders to understand why, when and how to adapt their style as appropriate to any given context.

The book is full of real-life examples that every leader can relate to and provides them with a practical, easy to follow approach to building the habits of an adaptive leader. It is an inspirational and motivational read that enables the reader to immediately take action to make a positive impact on themselves, their people and their organisation.
