Managers and leaders who think they can simply return to their old ways and methods will be the least effective in this new age of work. This book sets out the key attributes that the modern leader must learn and/or develop. Such attributes centre on the themes of trust, strengths, compassion, flexibility, family, creativity, risk, values, empowerment and even humor. Leaders and managers who are more progressive and are seen to value their people will be the ones that stand out in terms of both individual and team performance. This practical book provides the foundation for any manager who wants to make the transition into being a modern and effective leader.
