Braver Leaders in Action Summary

Braver Leaders in Action: Personal and Professional Development for Principled Leadership by Mike McLaughlin (Braver Leadership, UK)

Braver Leaders in Action explains why it is vital for ordinary leaders to be brave in the context of unprecedented global challenges. Exercises and practical examples from experienced leaders help you to grow your awareness and understanding, boosting your potential to be a braver leader and prompting reflection on your development in eight key areas.

Each area explores the braver forms of personal and corporate leadership necessary for future leaders via four related cornerstones derived from literature reviews, discussions with leaders, and many years of developmental and coaching conversations.

This well-referenced and practical book is essential reading for a range of readers across sectors including management and leadership, coaching, mentoring and followership. Supporting the case for new ways of thinking about leadership in current conditions - and what its core purpose may actually be - Braver Leaders in Action fills a gap in the current leadership literature by exploring how leaders can truly bring a braver stance to their life and work.

Braver Leaders in Action Reviews

Leaders can no longer instruct, direct and command from on high. In the new world of hybrid and remote working leaders need to step up, connect, understand and engage: they need to be braver.

McLaughlin and Cox build on their previous work on leadership to offer guidance on how awareness, EQ, values, and a servant heart can enable leaders to succeed in the new normal. Essential reading for a post-covid world.

-- Prof. Jonathan Passmore,SVP Coaching, CoachHub and Henley Business School

Making a positive impact on our world, challenging the status quo, stepping outside of our comfort zone - many of us would like to know how to do this and where to start. We can just open this book! Thanks to their established expertise and experience as educator, coach and consultant in coaching and leadership development, McLaughlin and Cox have designed a self-help book that will accompany us in this transition. This research-informed manual makes top academic work accessible through thought-provoking reflexive activities and meaningful illustrative cases. Forge your own leadership with Braver Leaders in Action by your side!

-- Prof. Pauline Fatien,Associate Professor, Grenoble Ecole de Management, France

In this powerful text, research and theory meet deep experience in the practice of leadership in ways that will authentically speak to the reader. With values forefront and centre, McLaughlin and Cox bring both an urgency and a how-to for braver leaders to do the right thing when facing contemporary challenges.

The reflective exercises, feedback, recommended readings and case studies from experienced leaders gently guide the reader through such concepts as awareness, desire, ego-lite, ethical practice, humility, legacy and well-being - of leaders themselves, of others, and of the planet.

This is a wonderful text for those who want to be braver leaders, knowing what a difference they could make in the world.

-- Dr. Jan Robertson,Academic Consultant, Author of Coaching Leadership, New Zealand.
