The Seven Games of Leadership

The overall focus of The Seven Games of Leadership is simple: the disruptive moment in which we find ourselves living - the combined effect of the fourth industrial revolution, climate change, political divisions/fake news, Covid 19, wealth distribution, immigration, and so on - demands that we are our own agents of change. We can start our own revolutions in order to live the most rewarding lives possible - we just need to know how to do it. It is about caring about ourselves (so prioritising self-care), caring about the people around us, and caring about our jobs and careers - not simply as a source of income but as an engine for a larger purpose and change, both personal and professional. The book will guide the reader towards a realisation that ''being a rebel'' is not about destroying what we have but rather it''s about co-designing and rebuilding different paths for individuals which then also have a positive impact on society at large. The overall objective is allow people to identify and find a role/job that is more effectively aligned, not only with their individual values (already discussed in the author''s previous book, The Compass & the Radar ), but with a broader purpose centred on a wider sense of humanity and building sustainable prosperity for all. If we have learned anything from the pandemic, it is the importance of being part of a community, the need to avoid isolation and - given the complexity of the problems we face - the need to develop self-care, contextual intelligence and collaboration. The Seven Games of Leadership provides the tools and practical advice you need to reassess your priorities and take the steps necessary to refocus your life, your career and the issues of the world around you.>
