About this audiobook
'A compelling case for a new, more holistic form of leadership.' Andrew Winston, Thinkers50
The leaders of today cannot be the leaders of tomorrow.
The Leadership We Need offers a bold, urgent blueprint for a new era of leadership - one that's tough enough to protect our future, and wise enough to lead with purpose, not ego. Drawing from over a decade of leadership experience and cutting-edge research, Maria Brinck calls out the dominant, masculine monopoly on leadership that has shaped society for millennia - and how it's failing us in today's poly-crisis reality.
Brinck argues that the hard way is, in fact, the right way: where we collaborate instead of compete, engage people instead of control them, and live alongside nature rather than dominate it.
We need leadership that serves people and planet.
Through powerful examples of collaborative and service-driven leaders - many of them women - and practical tools including a 10-step roadmap and self-assessments, this book provides a positive path forward for leaders in business, government, and society.
The best of humanity is still ahead. Follow this courageous call to action and create a leadership culture that's inclusive, balanced, and capable of shaping a future we can all thrive in.
