Authentic Leaders

"We are re-launching this blog under the title - Authentic Leaders."

Recently, I travelled to Dubai and used the time on the plane and in the airport to catch up on some reading. Boris Johnson's book “Have I got views for you” kept me amused on the outward-bound flight with a Harvard Business review highlighting “The Effective Organization” to read on the return leg. In my mind the two seemed to balance each other out.

Over the years I have had the privilege of being involved and working with a variety of leadership teams across the UK and in different parts of the world. So I find reading about different leadership styles to be insightful and sometimes quite entertaining. Recently Michael O’Leary of Ryanair fame was an interesting read on one man’s amazing drive and ambition. As was Alan Leighton book on “Leadership”, full of quotable quotes, and incredibly helpful for someone who trains leaders and is also a blogger.

To add to all this and all the wealth and wisdom on leadership out there, we are launching www.authenticleaders.org.uk  This blog will have a number of contributors, video interviews, book reviews, articles and discussion around the idea of an authentic leader. My next few blogs will qualify what I believe an authentic leader is.
