At a time of technology-driven change, the need to inspire, engage and tap into the creativity of employees demands better leaders. This book sets out how that can happen

Large-scale organizations present particular challenges. At the NHS, Europe’s largest employer, all 1.3m staff are potential leaders.

An organization with better leaders will invariably have better results.
