Leading Well

Leading Well is the second in a 'Leadership' series written by the team at The Institute of Managers and Leaders.

In this research-driven book, IML uncovered that the following attributes lead to leaders leading well:

1. Integrity
2. Emotional Intelligence (EI)
3. Ability to Inspire
4. Authenticity
5. Self-Awareness
6. Respect
7. Decisiveness.

Discussion around these attributes is the subject of each of the chapters. There are case studies, expert opinions and strategies to help today's, and next-generation leaders, in their endeavours to lead their organisations as best they can.

David Pich interviews some of Australia's most highly regarded leaders to find out what attributes they value and display best:

• Georgie Harman - CEO of Beyond Blue.
• Warren Mundine
• John Borgetti - Virgin
• Christine Holgate - Aus Post CEO ex Blackmores
• John Buchanan (ex Aussie Cricket Coach)
• Andy Burnham - ex-UK Health Minister under Tony Blair, current Lord Mayor of the City of Manchester and the person that worked on the justice campaign for the Liverpool Supporters Trust following Hillsborough.
