With our book The Leader’s Toolbox – Your Path to Active and Enjoyable Leadership, we aim to give leaders more “gears” to use in their everyday leadership. The book provides concrete models, practical exercises, and reflections that help leaders lead both themselves and others more actively and enjoyably. It also seeks to inspire greater self-awareness. By understanding our different abilities and learning to shift between them, we unlock energy that allows us to lead ourselves and others more effectively.
The toolbox consists of six gears, plus the “R” gear, which in our case stands for Reflection. The gear shift illustrates the key behaviors we have identified as particularly important for increasing effectiveness in your leadership. To succeed fully as a leader, you should embrace and apply all the abilities symbolized by the toolbox.
