Leadership is not just for the execs in the corner office. It’s time we all stepped up and developed the mind of a leader. In a time of rapid technological change and economic uncertainty, businesses that thrive will do so through empowering employees at all levels to take an active role in leading themselves and their organisations to success. It's time that we all, at every stage of our careers, started to think proactively, take responsibility and excel in work. This is the new face of leadership – consensual and nonhierarchical. Scandinavian entrepreneur and business guru Fredrik Arnander outlines strategies and tools for transforming anyone into an effective leader. He offers a simple, straightforward, highly-practical approach to developing the leader mindset. And these aren't lessons from on high – they're clear and functional examples drawn from real life experiences. We Are All Leaders is all about empowerment – it will transform you into a confident, focused visionary…and can help you inspire that same passion in others. <ul> <li>A refreshingly simple and practical guide to leadership for anyone who wants to progress in their work</li> <li>Based on the author's experience of running fast technology companies, creating agile and flexible organisations through leadership at all levels</li> <li>Lessons are taught via easy to follow dialogue between a mentor and apprentice, exchanges which emphasise teamwork and reciprocal learning</li> </ul> "Everyone should read this book.

Rezension

"This book gives you the confidence to grow as a leader and inspire the same confidence and passion in your colleagues." (Start Your Business, March 2013) "It's concepts can be applied to any industry and it is appropriate for those new to management, as well as senior managers who would like to refresh their approach." (Supply Management, March 2013) "... engaging and easily digestible book.... Arnander's straightforward and friendly tone make it an easier read than many business tomes ... useful and unpretentious." (HR, February 3013) "... Arnander's book provides useful insights and lessons as to how we can use leadership to empower ourselves and the people we work with ... his insights are practical and punchy – all of the ideas can be taken away and applied by a reader, no matter where they are in their careers. All in all, there's something very inspiring about the entrepreneur and CEO's advice and it shows us leadership isn't something preserved for the select few; it is something we can all embody." (Elite Business, February 2013) "Unlike most management tomes this book this book is aimed at people just starting out in their career, as well as established leaders ... simply and engagingly written."
