What makes for an exceptional leader in organisations today? Do you truly know what it takes to lead a team? Do you know what works and what doesn't? Many leaders find themselves in leadership positions without knowing what's really expected of them. They are often promoted into leadership roles because of their exemplary technical skills, yet never had the opportunity to develop their people-management skills.
To become an effective leader, leaders must first understand how to follow. They must also be open to adapt their approach so they aren't locked into techniques that no longer work in an ever-changing environment. Self-awareness, resilience, vulnerability and time-management skills are critical to effective leadership, as are many other, often veiled, factors.
With over thirty years' experience in leading teams, Ms. Layt guides both new and experienced leaders to reflect on their weaknesses and develop their strengths. Expertly weaving professional anecdotes with proven leadership strategies, Dominique Layt inspires all leaders, regardless of profession, to take their leadership skills to new heights.
