Reframing leadership 🌱🌳

Hi there, 

In Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, Markus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall challenge a popular myth about leadership—that it's a one-size-fits-all quality. The truth? Leadership isn't about adhering to a universal mold, but about adapting to the unique strengths of each leader, team dynamics, and specific situations.

This month, we’re diving deep into how effective leadership is context-dependent and thrives when aligned with the individuality of those involved. This edition brings you insights and practical resources to help you refine your own approach to leadership development. From personalized growth frameworks to strategies for building adaptable leadership styles, explore the hidden power of neurodiverse leaders and how diverse perspectives can drive innovation, resilience, and team cohesion in ways traditional models often overlook.
