Rezensionen

"We only truly grow up when we know what it is to be fully human. In our hands we are being given technology tools that are transforming what we can do and how we grow. But just because we can do it, doesn't make it good for us. The world needs leaders who thrive on living in this tension and use tools for growing transparency of truth. That's good for all of us."

- Ruth Dearnley OBE, CEO STOP THE TRAFFIK



"Mike and James have produced a timely gem of a handbook for leaders at all levels. Leading amidst the profound shifts in how we live, work and relate to one another demands we evolve how we lead and Network Leadership shows us how."

- Neil Ventura, Executive Vice President, Strategy & Innovation (De Beers Group)

"In Network Leadership, James and Mike connect the dots beautifully in laying out what it means to be an agile and resilient leader in a rapidly changing world.
