Extraordinary Leadership in Australia and New Zealand: The Five Practices that Create Great Workplaces

Jim, Barry and Michael have produced a truly enjoyable read in an Australasian context. Through a wealth of real–world examples and thorough research, they identify universal leadership practices that will be of value to all managers, from CEO to the front line, who want to take on new challenges or refresh their approach to achieve more.
Josh Bayliss, CEO, Virgin Group (Worldwide)

This book is important and reminds us that leaders need to bring out the best of themselves to bring out the best in others. Too often leaders forget the real purpose of leadership and get lost in the details and data. The authors succinctly show the way for leaders to get extraordinary things done in Australasia.
Luke Sayers, CEO, PwC Australia and Vice Chairman, PwC Asia
