Everyday People, Everyday Leaders

"One of the best books I’ve read for supporting my professional development."
Leadership; a word traditionally reserved for those with a title, a badge, a position, a name, an office, a desk, some stripes on the arm or a story of heroism to tell. But leadership is simpler and more pervasive than that. Leadership can be found in the poorest and quietest of places, away from the media and award ceremonies. It can be found in everyday places, exhibited by everyday people being everyday leaders.

Everyday People Everyday Leaders tells the story of a few of these everyday leaders. Each story demonstrating an aspect of leadership, that when you piece it together you complete the jigsaw of leadership. The good news, for those wanting to be a leader, is that you don’t have to have all the pieces of the jigsaw to start. Like the childhood sticker albums, it is the journey of gathering the precious stickers that is part of the enjoyment. Central to the principle of being a good leader is being malleable, willing to learn and develop as a leader, gathering new skills as you practise the art of leadership.
