The Leadership Skills Handbook

Featuring everything you need to know about being an effective leader, The Leadership Skills Handbook will help you develop signature strengths and accelerate leadership success. This book, which was the manual for the original Teach First cohort, gives you the 100 essential tools you need to be an outstanding leader. Taking you beyond just theory, it shows you what works in real life, in a concise, easy-to-follow format. Based on research from over a thousand leaders around the world, from the public, private and voluntary sectors, it identifies the key practical skills that will make you even more successful. This new edition explains how readers can build networks of trust and influence and acquire informal power, an essential task for middle managers who lack the formal power required to carry out their responsibilities. With a relentless focus on the practice of making things happen, as well as the ways in which AI has shifted the requirements of the role, this book explains how today's leaders can add value to any organisation. Learn how to become the leader that people want to follow with The Leadership Skills Handbook.
