About this listen

What does it mean to 'be a leader'?

What does true leadership look like in the 2020s, when we're facing complexity and challenges in every direction - from climate disaster to political division, and inequality to consumer mistrust?

And how can we be part of the solution, while crafting a meaningful and satisfying career?

The answers aren't simple, but Holly Ransom is closer to finding them than most. Barely into her 20s, since chairing the G20 Youth Summit in 2014, Holly has been working with and learning from the heads of countries, companies and charities to help them disrupt what they do and change the world for the better.

In her fearless and widely researched manifesto, this innovative young thinker shows how it is within everyone's reach, everyone's ability and everyone's power to be an effective leader - in business and beyond.

Through three principles - mindset, method and mastery - you'll discover how to first lead yourself, then others. And you'll benefit from the wisdom of the luminaries Holly has interviewed, from Susan Cain and Condoleezza Rice to Barack Obama and Malcolm Gladwell.

This is the path to the leading edge - and becoming the leader the world needs you to be.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and listening to Holly Ransom. Her insights and sharing from business leaders and influences of culture sports and politics is admirable. I took a lot away from this book and like Hollys grandma at the end in the epilogue I believe we can change and I have hope. Thank you Holly

Holly does a good job and gives a lot of real life examples and stories. There are some real gems in this book that make you think, and conversely there are some parts of the book that I wondered where it was going with regard leadership. Overall a thought provoking listen for those that want a look at modern leadership trends versus traditional in a progressive changing world.
