Humanise: Why Human-Centred Leadership is the Key to the 21st Century

Resource scarcity, climate change, deepening inequality — all of the challenges facing modern society and businesses mean we need to fundamentally reinvent the way we think about leadership. Results-centred leadership is no longer enough. Humanise is crucial reading for business leaders at the vanguard of change in a world that's crying out for leadership with a human purpose. Anthony Howard's delightful storytelling decodes the dilemmas facing leaders today and provides superb insight into how we can change leadership styles for future-fit growth. Great leadership is not about doing things the way they've always been done before and this book truly shakes up thought-leadership in this field.

In his latest work, Anthony Howard addresses a growing disconnect between corporate objectives and people-friendly practices that undermines the best interests of both parties. He focuses on a leadership vacuum at the highest levels that is leaving corporations aloof, adrift, and unable to capitalise on their most valuable resource: their own employees. Humanise is a critical reminder that all business is driven by people and meant to serve people; Howard's personal and accessible style makes this lesson resonate.
