Advance Praise
‘WHAT? Another leadership book?’, you may ask. Yes, and this one
is different. Jónsson and de Waal, practitioners not theoreticians,
see leadership/followership experiences through both pragmatic
and neurological ‘lenses’, simplifying both complexities and daily
applications. This is neither a textbook nor a cookbook, but a set of
down-to-earth explanations of what so often goes wrong and how
to get them right going forward. Highly recommended!
Dr Steve F. Foster
Organisational Psychologist and Management Educator
Leadership is not just about leading or managing a group of people;
it is rather a skill that brings together many qualities such as to set
a right vision to encourage and inspire people to proactively work
with that vision to coach and build the team to achieve success as
a team and as an individual. This book brings together all these
elements immaculately. It is, therefore, highly recommended.
Dr Satarupa Bhattacharjee Kapoor

A must-read for today’s leaders. The book offers insights into effec-
tive leadership and develops leaders not only to steer organisations
during the present time but also to brace the future. By applying
Whole Brain Thinking, the authors have launched a contemporary
management guidebook for the leaders of today and tomorrow.

Finally, a book that brings all the strands for the personal and
professional journeys to effective leadership into focus like never
before! The Whole Brain Leader is not only a book for our times,
but it is also a roadmap for all times, crystallising everything you
need to best serve your organisation in extraordinary clarity.

This book is a must-read for all. Ingvar Jónsson and Sjoerd de Waal
have done a great job in explaining the ‘VUCA’ approach. The book
takes a practical and easy-to-read path to solve most of the prob-
lems that a leader faces. Every business leader must apply Whole
Brain thinking and use the suggested tools to effectively transform
their business leadership.

‘Disruption is all around us … for leadership this means change’.
Jónsson and de Waal manage to create a complete toolbox for the
modern leader. Their VUCA approach captures the complexity and
speed of change of our times and, at the same time, the whole brain
methodology provides a complete platform for continuous trans-
formation. A must-read for any serious leader!

Understanding people’s behaviour, needs, drives and desires is,
according to me, the essence of true leadership. This book is very
accessible and introduces hands-on-tools that can help you grow to
become an even more successful leader—it’s a whole brainer!

We are living in challenging times, and we need to use all our

this book will help you become one! It will help you become a true
leader who builds further leadership as a continuous process. You
will not just inspire yourself, you will inspire others to lead.
