- Based on research with over 1000 leaders in the public, private and voluntary sectors worldwide
- Includes tips, exercises, examples and space for readers to make their own notes
- The leadership book for people who live in the real world - it concentrates on how to become a practical leader
Most leadership books try to answer the question 'what is good leadership?' This book is different. It starts with the question: 'How can people learn to lead?' The author identifies the main practical skills leaders must have in order to be successful and provides a framework for developing those skills.
The Leadership Skills Handbook is about more than technical skills, it is also about developing the people skills, behaviours and values needed to become a leader. For use as an active tool, it can become a personal guide and coach on the road to leadership.
Jo Owen has worked for over 70 of the best, and one or two of the worst, organizations in the world. His experience crosses industries, continents and business environments - and formed the basis for his best-selling book Management Stripped Bare, also published by Kogan Page. A founder of Teach First, a top graduate recruitment firm, he is a frequent speaker on leadership.
