Preface

My whole life has been a voyage of discovery fuelled by restless curiosity.

Over the past 10 years I have crisscrossed the globe to talk to more than 150 men and women who shape and influence their part of history, seeking out their insight and inspiration. It has been an enormous privilege to learn about their life, leadership and legacy. I doubt I can ever repay the gift of their time and their timeless wisdom.

While circumnavigating the world I have also enjoyed the trust of many high-level leaders who have asked me to help them along the path to becoming the best person they can be, building the best organisations they can build and finding their point of contribution in and to the world.

This combination of conversations and consulting helped shape a philosophy — Human-Centred Leadership. This is leadership that puts people first, and that integrates the technical and moral aspects of leadership. As such it has a profoundly moral dimension, and is grounded in the person and character of each individual leader.

This book explains how the concept of Human-Centred Leadership emerged, the principles of Human-Centred Leadership and how you can apply these principles in your leadership roles. It contains the key insights gleaned from the great leaders I have met.

It is my gift to you, as a thank you for the gifts I have been given.
