Preview We Are All Leaders: Good Leadership and Why We're All Capable Of It
Human leadership. Egalitarian leadership. Inclusive leadership. This is the leadership of the 21st century. Not technical, authoritarian, knowledge-is-power leadership
Leaders are no longer exclusively defined by job title or social status, wealth or rank. Anyone could be a leader. We are all leaders – at home, online, in the workplace, on the sports field, as volunteers, campaigners or citizens. Somewhere, someone looks to us as a leader.
We all know a leader. We all have to deal with leaders. Being a leader today is tough. They need our support but we also need to know when a leader isn’t up to the demands placed on them before it’s too late. We need to know how to spot a poor leader before a problem becomes a crisis.
We all need to know a bit more about being a leader.
Leadership skills, however, are often only taught to those in big corporations or with access to the right sort of education. Even then it’s often taught within narrow parameters, or it fails to account for changes in expectations and circumstances.
Good, positive leadership today requires the honing of human skills, not technical ones. Human skills - empathy, creative and critical thinking, the ability to build trust and honest, supportive relationships - these are skills that we all possess, but we often ignore them in order to focus on technical skills instead.
WE ARE ALL LEADERS is a review of all the key elements of leadership in the 21st century. A collection of articles and essays examining how the best leaders communicate and listen, collaborate and coach, how they prepare for uncertainty and build trust. WE ARE ALL LEADERS is a book for anyone that has ever led, wants to lead, works with a leader or suspects they might have been leading without realising it.
