Leadership Intelligence

‘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, economist and bestselling author of How to Have a Good Day, Caroline Webb gives us a science-backed playbook for leading brilliantly in an ever-changing workplace.

Webb distils her three decades of experience into a practical guide for mastering 21 leadership challenges that every manager will face during their career. Grounded in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural economics, Leadership Intelligence makes management feel less like guesswork and more like a craft.

Arranged under three key strengths of a great leader - Wisdom, Inspiration and Resilience - this book is packed full of tools and techniques to help readers:

• Cultivate Wisdom: Clear the cognitive fog to make smarter choices amidst complexity.
• Ignite Inspiration: Engage the brain’s reward system to amplify human potential and performance.
• Build Resilience: Reframe the brain’s response to threats to make stressful situations more manageable.

Featuring exclusive insights from role models at the top of their game – including executives from Alphabet, L’Oréal and MetLife – this is an indispensable toolkit for leaders at all levels.

Practical enough for the heat of a crisis yet engaging enough to savour in depth, Leadership Intelligence is the essential handbook for those ready to lead with insight, purpose and calm.
