Since writing and publishing the book late in 2020, I'm thrilled to have sold over 3000 copies which has way surpassed my expectations.
The feedback I've had is that people use the book in many different ways.
Some read for their individual leadership and/or self-leadership development, and others read it as a leadership team to reflect on and articulate their leadership vision and strategy, and some teams actively use it to enhance their teamwork culture.
It is following so much wonderful feedback that I have decided to prepare two reading guides for you to use in reviewing the content individually and/or as a team.
Leading Above the line is a book about creating psychologically aware, responsible and safe workplaces where leaders and employees thrive.
If we are genuinely committed to employees doing their best work, fulfilling potential, and achieving peak performance we must create ideal ecosystems to make that happen.
Never before have the importance of human relationships and the interpersonal climate we collectively create, been more critical to our professional lives and to an organisation’s success.
