Being (The Six Principles for Leading in an Age of Fast Change)

We can often become governed by our 'to do' lists and forget that we are human 'beings', not human 'doings.' Doing is important, but it is not why we exist. In a world characterised by complexity, ambiguity, disruption and globalization the quality of our being will determine the quality of our experience. This is true in all walks of life but has heightened significance in the leadership domain. As a leader, the risk of being dominated by 'doing' can cause you to lose touch with the essential qualities required to provide great leadership. In Being, popular author and leadership coach Ben Renshaw blends six principles with compelling calls to action.
