The author
A Norwegian executive who has led teams through transformations and megaprojects for decades.
The foreword
“This book has grown out of decades spent doing the work, including responsibility for projects of immense complexity, where different forms of specialist knowledge, human judgement, uncertainty and consequence have had to coexist.”
What you will learn
Leading will make you reflect about your own practice.
It is a reference guide and a story collection that will help the reader understand what it is to be a leader in the twenty-first century.
WOW3
The WOW3 framework helps establish shared purpose and understanding, bringing people together and keeping them on the same page.
Charisma
Charisma is not necessarily innate and is something that can be developed over time.
Feedback
Leaders should create a safe environment where feedback is seen as an opportunity to grow and learn, not as a method to reprimand or belittle.
Confidence
Remember, confidence emerges from consistent action, not from waiting until you feel ready.
From the book
“The greatest leaders create the environment in which others can blossom.”
“First, we are human, then we are leaders.”
“In short, leadership is not about individual leaders, it’s all about the people.”
“The beauty of leadership is that it doesn’t require a title.”
“The question is not whether you are ready to lead. The question is whether you are ready to begin.”
