About this audiobook
In an age where the pace and complexity of change is accelerating, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact we’re all just human beings, leading other human beings.
Rob’s groundbreaking new book challenges the status quo, helping us realize that leadership is no longer about being the all-seeing, all-knowing heroic character that we’ve been told is the answer to all our prayers. Using stories drawn from over 20 years of working with leaders from across the globe, Rob debunks the myths around what it truly means to "be a leader", replacing old and obsolete leadership models with a new human-led philosophy fit for the 21st century.
