Publisher's Summary
'Want to avoid making leadership mistakes and make better decisions? Read this book.' - James Timpson
No time for wishful thinking when you’re changing the world.
If you’re a leader who wants to get things done in a way that makes the world a better place, you need someone in your corner.
Liam Black has been supporting social entrepreneurs and purpose-driven leaders for decades, and he understands what it takes to do work that goes beyond the bottom line — and what it can take out of you, too.
In this no-bullshit, woo-woo-free book, he reveals how to align purpose and leadership, how to deal with uncertainty, imposter syndrome, anxiety and loneliness along the way, how to exercise authority (even in the face of endemic sexism), and when it’s right to walk away.
'Liam’s the mentor you want on your side when things get tough.' - Sue Campbell, FA Director of Women’s Football
'This book (like his mentoring) will help you get through tough times with grace – a must read.' - Juliet Scott-Croxford, President North America Brompton Bikes
Liam Black has founded and led a dozen organizations, invested millions in purpose-driven companies and is a mentor to start-up entrepreneurs and leaders in multinational corporations.
Critic Reviews
Does the world really need another book about leadership? Well, it turns out it does.. Liam's book is a paean. (Dr Craig Dearden Phillips, MBE)
He gets you to see the world as it is before you want to see the world as you want it to be. And that is why the gloves off mentor bit really rings true with me. I highly recommend it. (David McQueen)
