Every day, every one of us is a leader in some way – we just don’t necessarily know it. Leadership is about inspiring change and movement, whether on an individual level – a person’s attitude, behaviour, emotions or habits – or an organizational level – culture, goals, vision or strategy. By changing the way you approach the concept of leadership, The Everyday Leader will help you recognise and embrace your natural leadership qualities, so that you can be more motivated and empowered in the workplace and at home.

The Everyday Leader tackles the main challenges that leaders face at some point in their career: leading teams; attaining buy-in from stakeholders; leading through artificial intelligence; whistleblowing; and leading from a distance. But the book also addresses the leadership issues that occur in day-to-day life: listening and empathising; making change attractive and accessible; influencing and persuading; and making the right decision through information overload.

Providing advice and tools for those looking to polish their existing leadership skills or anyone who wants to take the next step in their career, The Everyday Leader also recognises that leadership doesn’t stop once you clock off – these are lessons you can and should take home with you.

The Everyday Leader. How to Motivate, Empower and Influence Those Around You, Hardback, reviewed

This is a tough challenge to achieve. The authors recognise the challenge of actually achieving these goals, rather than just giving lip service to the concept with trivial statements like ‘Just Do It’ … There are some good case studies and interviews with people who have achieved significant and impressive wins. Looking at the Chicago Bulls for example, yes it never hurts if you have Michael Jordan on your team, but there have been many other great individuals, around whom an awesome team has failed to gell. In this context the authors give useful and actionable insights to help you with trying to motivate and empower those in your own teams too.

The book does cover some interesting and harder areas in which to achieve success those working remotely, requiring self motivation, and even whistle blowing. These are tricky and nuanced areas, so the authors insights are worth reading and contemplating. We enjoyed reading it, and hope / wish / would have liked it if several of our bosses had read and acted on the insights in this book.
