Build Your Leader Identity

Build Your Leader Identity is a practical guide to harnessing your unique leadership potential. At its heart is the idea that every person has the potential to lead, including you, by drawing on your personal attributes, values, and life experiences.

This book aims to give you the skills to build your own unique leader identity - the self-expression of who you are as a leader. It is a personal approach that asks you to consider how your core values and individual history affect your leadership, whatever your position. It questions how events in your life, and your multiple identities such as daughter or son, manager or team member, may have reinforced or undermined your ideas about your potential to lead, or what leadership means to you. It is a process that celebrates diversity; a journey where one size for leadership does not fit all. Ultimately, I believe it has the potential to transform the way you think about yourself and your ability to become a more empowered, conscious leader in your chosen area.
