Small Acts of Leadership

In business today, there is no offline and there is no downtime. Professionals are both exhausted and depleted. Being constantly tethered to our work through technology makes us overwhelmed and shortsighted, and deprives us of time for meaningful reflection or thoughtful connection to our professional communities, and often even to our own families. For us to thrive—not simply survive—in this accelerating economy, we need to adopt small, intentional behaviours and practice them each day.

From simply taking care of our rest and exercise to building our self-confidence and embracing challenges, Small Acts of Leadership will guide you through a series of incremental steps you can take to build a stronger version of yourself and make a broader impact in the world. Weaving in personal life stories and meaningful interviews with business leaders around the world, G. Shawn Hunter presents the reader with twelve critical competencies that are consistently present in the daily behaviours of today's most successful leaders.
