How to Lead with Purpose by Liam Black

**Business Book Awards 2024 Finalist** 'Want to avoid making leadership mistakes and make better decisions? Read this book.' - James Timpson No time for wishful thinking when you’re changing the world. If you’re a leader who wants to get things done in a way that makes the world a better place, you need someone in your corner. Liam Black has been supporting social entrepreneurs and purpose-driven leaders for decades, and he understands what it takes to do work that goes beyond the bottom line – and what it can take out of you, too. In this no-bullshit, woo-woo-free book, he reveals how to align purpose and leadership, how to deal with uncertainty, imposter syndrome, anxiety and loneliness along the way, how to exercise authority (even in the face of endemic sexism), and when it’s right to walk away. 'Liam’s the mentor you want on your side when things get tough.' - Sue Campbell, FA Director of Women’s Football 'This book (like his mentoring) will help you get through tough times with grace – a must read.' - Juliet Scott-Croxford, President North America Brompton Bikes Liam Black has founded and led a dozen organizations, invested millions in purpose-driven companies and is a mentor to start-up entrepreneurs and leaders in multinational corporations.

Does the world really need another book about leadership? Well, it turns out it does- Dr Craig Dearden Phillips, MBE, LinkedIn

This is a plain speaking and honest guide to the challenges involved in running purpose-led organisations...It is clearly written, honest, brave, entertaining and very, very funny. If you like seeing ego, pomposity and hypocrisy being skewered, you’ll love it. - Amazon 5*

Authentic, no non-sense, and completely inspiring to read. It makes you laugh and cry with so many true leadership stories, relatable challenges, and wisdom. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone! - Amazon 5*

I especially found the discussion on women, their leadership roles in the shadows of the patriarchy the most interesting. Few men have tackled the topic male-dominated power which is often found in the C-Suite in just a candid manner. - NetGalley

One of the most impactful leadership books I have ever read - Amazon 5*

In a world facing extreme change and uncertainty keeping your feet on the ground and focused on your objectives can seem at times very challenging. Liam’s matter of fact, can do, get stuff done approach to life is reassuring and the themes and messages in this book are valuable and timely. An easy and rewarding read. - Amazon 5*
