…With Leading Edge, Alison and Jenni offer simple strategies and tools as well as case studies to illustrate and ultimately drive outstanding individual and collective performance to new heights. As a leader you always have a very unique and special role to play in that you may hold your team back or enable it towards a greater performance, all dependent upon your attitude, guidance and choices. While the state of sustained high team performance remains virtually magical and often difficult to explain, you may find that this book is designed and written with the goal of making it more relatable, practicable and ideally replicable. It is all about how you decide to think, act and communicate to inspire and foster a well-calibrated, inclusive and optimally performing team. My personal message is that self-awareness and authenticity are two critical foundations that will only enable you to appreciate, embrace and extend what you will gain out of this seminal book.

If you’re ready, want to take action and start modelling those behaviours to give yourself the edge… this is a must read to create that momentum! Neil Molyneux, Technical innovation Director, Pepsico It’s rare in a career you find an organization so in need of a major overhaul to be able to deliver its purpose for its consumers. And yet this was where we found Pandora (the world’s largest jewellery brand by volume) back in 2019. This overhaul was needed to safeguard the loyalty of millions of consumers in nearly 100 countries and the livelihoods of over 25,000 employees and their families around the world… It was on this journey that we first crossed paths with Alison and Jenni – two talented professionals, early in the lifespan of their entrepreneurial creation and with a compelling model based on data and strong facilitation. We were taken by their values, which fit with ours, their commitment to measuring impact and their track record of success in other organizations. They were invited to go large across the top three career bands globally in Pandora – at one point they were helping 27 different leadership teams everywhere from Panama to Thailand to Sydney. This resulted over time in a nearly 10% increase in employee-reported team strength. In 2022 it also contributed to Pandora delivering four record quarters of trading performance and top decile employee net promoter score results! - Erik Schmidt, former CHRO, Pandora In a nutshell, this book is a game-changer for leaders.
