Develop your #1 leadership asset – your thinking.
The quality of your thinking is, ultimately, the quality of your leadership. Many leaders, when faced with a challenge, wing it or default to what has worked before. But what if there were a more intentional approach? One where you fully understand the way you think, can shape your response and yet remain open to the unexpected?
In Deliberate, Steve Turner brings his decades of experience as an applied psychologist, leadership coach and consultant to give ten tutorials in thinking that will revolutionise your approach to challenges. These lessons in, amongst other topics, metacognition, framing and
conversing will help you grow as a person and as a leader of your organisation.
Drawing on a wealth of ideas, theories, provocations and examples from education, industry, neuroscience and even quantum physics, this is, above all, a practical book. In each tutorial, leaders are invited to challenge themselves to become more deliberate – more thoughtful and more effective – in the way they approach their leadership practice.
In a volatile and uncertain world, Deliberate gives leaders a new thinking toolkit, ready to act with agency, whatever the challenge.
