Editorial Review | An excellent and uplifting book that provides genuine insight into how leaders of all types can understand what truly motivates them and how they can use this to inspire others. Given the intense personal pressures facing so many people in business today, I recommend it as a highly relevant and compelling read whatever your level of experience. -- Carolyn Fairbairn * Director-General, Confederation of British Industry * Andy Bird's uncommon combination of intellect, experience and values has created a powerful, timely and unique work. Insightful and actionable frameworks illuminated by inspiring leadership stories invite us to reflect deeply on how we can inspire ourselves to become more effective leaders - not just of our own organizations, but in the world at large. -- Matt Shattock * CEO & Chairman, Beam Suntory Inc. * This is a wonderful book - I am falling in love with it. I read it, and I feel better about humanity, about being a member of this funny old thing called the 'human race'. Why 'race'? The people Andy Bird writes about become more human by stopping still, by getting to know themselves better. They give up on racing and become who they are. It is a celebration of humanity, and if that isn't inspirational I don't know what is. -- Professor Alison Hardingham * Henley Business School * Unlike other books I've read in the genre, this one offers a realistic and relatable way to improving leadership qualities. The ideas and evidence provided show how, by being proactive in seeking the right sources of motivation, it's possible to become inspired to realise your potential. |
