The Barefoot Leader

The purpose of leadership is to get better results. Leaders are most useful when they are improving outcomes. Everything else that a leader does is an input to this final output, and everything shared in this book is based on this idea. This book is written for current and aspiring leaders within organisations. The organisation might be your own start-up, a mid-size corporation, a global multinational, a not for profit or a government department. The principles in this book are derived from human behaviour and therefore transcend organisational structure, size and industry type. Where any group of people gather together to achieve an outcome, this book will help the leaders in that group achieve a better outcome.
