Overview

Your friendly, inspiring, and concise guide to leadership. Inspired leadership makes for proud, engaged, and highly productive teams of people who love what they do, why they do it, and who they do it for. Renowned corporate trainer, keynote speaker, and executive coach Bruce Mayhew believes all of us can be great leaders when we choose to be. We will not all lead the same way, but we all have what it takes to successfully bring out our authentic style-and let others bring out theirs. In The Path of an Inspired Leader, Bruce distills years of hands-on experience and research into practical opportunities. He shows readers how everyone can lead with clarity, courage, and care, and build a supportive, trustworthy, and high-potential team culture where people feel safe, proud of their contributions, and deeply connected to their work. He discusses the characteristics of great leaders, including communication skills, curiosity, a growth mindset, and giving yourself permission to not have all the answers. He encourages you to laugh with your team, to be confident in your goals but flexible about the path you take to get there, and to be firm about accountability and aligning your team around shared respect, transparency, and honesty. This is a concise, practical book with short chapters that can be read in any order or dipped into as needed. Topics covered include leadership development, motivation and team-building strategies, active listening, generational differences, email etiquette, hiring skills, how to prepare for and have difficult conversations, and both time and change management. The Path of an Inspired Leader is an inspiring resource that experienced and aspiring leaders will keep close by for years, turning to it whenever they need help, confidence, or clarification.
