The leadership described in this book goes beyond empowerment and offers control, competence and directional clarity to the employee, not only granting them authority but also enabling them to make impactful decisions and act autonomously — in short making them into leders.
I especially enjoyed the human element of treating people as creative and highly competent individuals rather than as order-obeying ressources. Tap into the whole human being and watch them unfold.
If you're looking for an inspiring book on leadership to read this year (regardless of your own position in leadership), give this one a go.
