Description
Winner of the 2023 Royal Society of Arts Career Book Award.
'A timely, actionable book on the virtues that every great leader needs to learn.'
ADAM GRANT, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife
Leadership is simply a series of moments, and every moment gives you the opportunity to leave a positive legacy for those you lead.
In this ground-breaking book, award-winning leadership expert and business leader Kirstin Ferguson has written a much-needed practical guide for every modern leader. Whether you are the head of one of the largest companies in the world, supervising a small team, or guiding your family, it will be your ability to integrate your head and heart that will influence your success in leading others and navigating our complex world.
Combining studies from leading thinkers in the field with her own research and more than three decades of personal experience, Kirstin explains the eight key attributes of a head and heart leader, and provides the tools to measure your own approach. Along the way, she shares her conversations with modern leaders from a broad range of backgrounds whose stories will surprise you, challenge your thinking, and inspire you to be the type of leader the world needs today.
'Head and Heart is one of those books you just know is going to change the world.'
KATE JENKINS, Australia's Sex Discrimination Commissioner
'A long way from the standard corporate leadership book.'
MARK SCOTT AO, Vice Chancellor, University of Sydney
'Head and Heart has joined my favourite leadership books on my bedside table.'
