All too often we are subjected to people leadership which lacks inspiration, let alone care. In workplaces all over the world there are 'bosses' - managers who just don't get people. They micromanage, set unrealistic targets, and maybe even create workplace cultures based on fear. Should these people really be allowed to lead others? During his leadership career spanning 30 years to date, Alexander has often found himself swimming against the tide of poor managers and in doing so, overcame his own feelings of deflation, channelling this into creating engaging workplaces for his teams that were the envy of his colleagues. Much to his surprise, he even won awards for it!
ÔUNLIKE A BOSSÕ spills the beans on some of the poorest people leadership examples heÕs observed, and been subjected to, in a conversational, and at times light-hearted, pseudo memoir style. ThereÕs that well used saying Ôlearn from your mistakesÕ but as Alexander attests, you can learn from other peopleÕs mistakes too, in fact this book is full of them!
ÔUNLIKE A BOSSÕ shares 15 easy to follow steps to help you achieve a truly people-centred leadership approach, with heart. The kind of tips you wish your manager had read. ItÕs a must read for anyone who leads people and who wants to create an environment where every day is a great day!
ÒMake sure you go and check out AndrewsÕ book, UNLIKE A BOSS is about leadership skills in your workplace. I definitely think itÕs going to be inspirational!Ó - Kisean Paul Anderson (Sean Kingston), American singer and songwriter.
