As a leader, forcing compliance from your team is easy. Anyone can 'make' another do a task. It will get done, but when, and to what standard? Many leaders focus so much on outcomes and objectives that they forget about investing in getting the best for and out of the individuals in their teams that will lead to the higher standards of performance that true engagement and commitment brings. In Compassionate Leadership , Manley Hopkinson combines the two worlds of business and adventure to encourage leaders everywhere - at work, at home, in sports and mid-ocean - to take a new approach to creating teams of developed, self-aware and committed individuals. Drawing on his experiences in business, inspirational speaking and coaching and as a team leader in the BT Global Challenge round-the-world yacht race and the Polar Race to the magnetic North Pole, Manley provides you with the tools you need to start the exciting journey to sustainable high performance for you and your team and better relationships across all spheres of life. 'A personal and most readable introduction to the fundamentals of good leadership, enlivened by the author's rich and varied experience. Anyone who aspires to be a leader will find in its pages both guidance and encouragement' John Adair, author of the bestselling Effective Leadership.
