The Instant USA Today Bestseller

‘If you want to become a wiser, more inspiring and more resilient leader, this is the best book you can read’ – Jonathan Haidt, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Anxious Generation

‘A suite of tools so well-designed that using them feels less like following advice and more like seeing clearly’ – Daniel H. Pink, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive

Lead with intelligence – not just instinct.

Renowned leadership coach, economist, and bestselling author of How to Have a Good Day, Caroline Webb gives us a science-backed playbook for leading brilliantly in an ever-changing workplace.

Webb distils her three decades of experience into a practical guide for mastering the twenty-one leadership challenges that every manager will face during their career. Grounded in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioural economics, Leadership Intelligence makes management feel less like guesswork and more like a craft.

Arranged under three key strengths of a great leader - Wisdom, Inspiration, and Resilience - this book provides an integrated system packed full of tools and techniques to help readers:

  • Cultivate Wisdom: Clear the cognitive fog to make smarter choices amidst complexity
  • Ignite Inspiration: Engage the brain’s reward system to amplify human potential and performance
  • Build Resilience: Reframe the brain’s response to threats to make stressful situations more manageable

Featuring compelling stories from role models at the top of their game – including executives from Alphabet, L’Oréal, and JP Morgan – Webb shares indispensable lessons for leaders at all levels.

Clear enough to be consulted before a crucial meeting, but engaging enough to be read in depth, Leadership Intelligence is the essential handbook for those ready to lead with insight, purpose, and calm.

‘Leadership Intelligence will help you understand your own brain – and more importantly, how to bring out the intelligence of those around you’ – Kim Scott, New York Times bestselling author of Radical Candor

‘Smart, insightful, practical... give it to every leader you know!’ – Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 Hall of Fame executive coach and New York Times bestselling author
