Читать книгу Ignite - Dolan Gabrielle - Страница 1

Leadership is a privilege. I am humbled by it every day. As leaders we have the opportunity to have a huge effect on an organisation's culture just through creating more genuine connections with our people. Connecting people to a vision takes heart, it takes guts, and is driven by passion. Telling stories that resonate and drive an organisation's purpose is a powerful and important part of a leader's ability to truly engage. Read this book, listen, learn, practise, put yourself out there and practise some more – the people you are leading deserve nothing less.

– Andrew Thorburn, Managing Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of the National Australia Bank Group

An insightful read about the human dimension of leadership. Gabrielle has provided a timely exploration of what it is to be a leader in today's complex world with information overload and the expectations of Generation Y. She peels back the layers of what it is to be an effective leader and provides a practical guide to her readers as to how we can better connect, communicate and engage as leaders.

– Janine Kirk, Chief Executive at The Prince's Charities Australia

Gabrielle Dolan provides brilliant hands-on advice for achieving success in any of the various roles you play, and models that advice in the writing of the book itself: it is a full dose of her authenticity, vulnerability and energy. She makes it real to help us make ourselves more real.

– Marty Linsky, Co-Founder and Principal at Cambridge Leadership Associates

Gabrielle Dolan lays bare the myth that traditional approaches to leadership and antiquated management by hierarchy will survive in the era of Gen Y and Millenial workforces. Authentic leadership and emotional maturity are key success criteria for today's leaders as we confront information challenges and disruptive competitors far greater than anything we could have imagined. In Ignite, Gabrielle successfully threads humour and personal perspectives, making this a very accessible and enjoyable guide for any evolving leader.

What I love about Gabrielle is that she keeps it real. Sure she's direct, honest and straight, but she also generates real results with her clients and those she mentors. If you're after another self-help tome that blows smoke up your backside, this book is not for you, but if you're ready to take a look at who you are and what you achieve, Gabrielle has the goods.

– Dan Gregory, CEO at The Impossible Institute, co-author of Selfish, Scared and Stupid

Gabrielle's book offers a refreshing and humorous approach to thinking about leadership impact. It is quite literally bursting at the seams with practical information, ideas, stories (of course) and stimulating questions. I hope it ‘Ignites’ you as it has me!

– Hilary Crowe, Vice President, Group Human Resources, Amcor Ltd, Zurich

Leadership is about self-awareness and having the confidence to be you. If you want to know if you are leading authentically, read this book!

– Layne Beachley, seven-time ASP Women's World Champion Surfer, motivational speaker, entrepreneur and philanthropist

If knowledge is power and wisdom is knowledge applied then Ignite is that rare book that helps leaders take an idea and run with it. Packed full of practical truths you can use.

– Matt Church, Founder of Thought Leaders Global, author of Amplifiers
