In reading this book you will learn that leadership is something all levels of employees in the organisation can make a positive contribution to. Leadership is not restricted to those with managerial and senior positions in the organisation but is also the responsibility of all employees. You will recognise the essential importance of discovering who you are and what you care about and how these insights guide you to exercise leadership.

Each of the five chapters related to the leadership practices starts with a story of an ordinary individual who held a junior position within their organisation. These stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things highlight the principles and practices of leadership. The stories highlight leadership examples, but the chapters go more in-depth into the practical application of the principle’s theory.

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their own leadership potential and who is not yet in a formal leadership role. Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership offers authoritative new insights, case studies and examples, and practical guidance for those who want to make a difference. It supplies the reader with the skills needed to show leadership and in so doing make a positive contribution to their employing organisation.
