The Five Tests of Strong Leadership | Peter Boolkah

Send us Fan MailLeadership is not a job title. It is the ability to set a clear direction, choose the right people, create accountability, listen to evidence and take action.Using a turbulent week in British politics in 2018 as a case study, Peter Boolkah contrasts genuine leadership with what he bluntly calls “leadershit” and identifies five qualities every effective leader needs.You’ll discover:Why a leader must provide a clear and consistent planHow choosing the wrong leadership team undermines executionWhy alignment matters more than simply surrounding yourself with prominent peopleHow accountability must apply to the leader as well as the teamWhy strong leaders listen to uncomfortable commercial evidenceWhy planning becomes meaningless without actionHow to assess the quality of leadership inside your own businessFor founders, the lesson extends far beyond politics.
