Résumé

From the bestselling author of No Bullsh*t Leadership comes an indispensable guide on how to thrive in the workplace, for those at all stages of their careers.

It is a universal truth that to have a job - even a very good and exciting job - you must have a boss. Yet many of us find ourselves in situations where we feel stifled, frustrated or worse. We feel that, despite our best efforts, we are held back by mediocre leaders, poor cultures or organizations that act contrary to our own values.

Indispensable is a much-needed compass for navigating the complexities of the modern workplace, in particular career progression. It builds on the premise that experiencing both exemplary and poor leadership shapes us into more resilient and insightful leaders. It equips readers with the tools and resilience to thrive in challenging environments, advocating for individuals to become the leaders they always wished they had.

Through compelling storytelling and practical wisdom, bestselling author (and former CEO) Chris Hirst deconstructs the notion of leadership, championing the belief that anyone can lead, and presents a holistic look at navigating one's career path, advocating for one where success is measured not just in personal achievements but in the collective triumphs of one's team.
