About the book
Beautiful Leadership explores how authentic and sustainable leadership can transform organisations. Discover insights and practical guidance from the author and Leadership Counsel, Dawn Stallwood.
Leadership, when practised with intentionality and care, can be experienced as something truly beautiful. Beautiful Leaders attract, inspire, nurture, transform, and galvanise. They get things done, in the best possible way.
Beautiful Leaders use their power, position, and resources to create a positive impact. This kind of leadership is beautiful. It takes commitment, strength, resilience, agility, self-awarnesss and a clear vision.
Leadership is not static.
The framework is split into two parts:
- Beautiful explores nine key attributes or qualities that shape how leaders are experienced.
- Leadership introduces ten key practices or disciplines that enhance leadership effectiveness.
Together, they offer a way for leadership to be captivating, so beautiful that others follow and aspire to be leaders themselves.
