‘If you want to become a wiser, more inspiring and resilient leader, this is the best book you can read‘ – Jonathan Haidt, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Anxious Generation

Lead with intelligence – not just instinct.


Renowned executive coach and bestselling author of How to Have a Good Day, Caroline Webb provides a science-backed playbook for leading in a workplace being reshaped by rapid technological change.

Webb distils three decades of experience into a practical guide for mastering twenty-one essential leadership challenges. Grounded in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics, Leadership Intelligence moves management away from guesswork and transforms it into a learnable craft.

Arranged under three core pillars – Wisdom, Inspiration and Resilience – this book provides the actionable tools needed to:

  • Make consistently wise choices even amidst complexity and bias.
  • Inspire peak performance by leveraging the brain’s reward system.
  • Build team resilience to navigate uncertainty, crisis and burnout.


Featuring stories from real-life role models at organizations including Google, X and L’Oréal, Webb shares indispensable lessons for leaders at every level.

Practical enough for the heat of a crisis and broad enough to guide your entire career, Leadership Intelligence is the definitive handbook for the modern era.

‘Caroline Webb has a quite exceptional range of organizational experience‘ – Peter Day, BBC Business Correspondent

Caroline Webb's first book (How to Have a Good Day) is so wonderful that I assign it in every course I teach at NYU's Stern School of Business. Now she is back with a terrific book for leaders. Every page of Leadership Intelligence offers invaluable advice drawn from her long experience as an executive coach, all grounded in current research on how the brain processes information, rewards and threat – and I can personally vouch for the effectiveness of Webb's advice. If you want to become a wiser, more inspiring and resilient leader, this is the best book you can read -- Jonathan Haidt, No. 1 New York Times bestselling of The Anxious Generation
