The Whole Brain Leader: 8-Dimensional Approach

‘WHAT? Another leadership book?’, you may ask. Yes, and this one is different. Jónsson and de Waal, practitioners not theoreticians, see leadership/followership experiences through both pragmatic and neurological ‘lenses’, simplifying both complexities and daily applications. This is neither a textbook nor a cookbook, but a set of down-to-earth explanations of what so often goes wrong and how to get them right going forward. Highly recommended! (Dr Steve F. Foster, Organisational Psychologist and Management Educator)

Leadership is not just about leading or managing a group of people; it is rather a skill that brings together many qualities such as to set a right vision to encourage and inspire people to proactively work with that vision to coach and build the team to achieve success as a team and as an individual. This book brings together all these elements immaculately. It is, therefore, highly recommended. (Dr Satarupa, Bhattacharjee Kapoor CEO, Pristdel)
