The Five Practices that Create Great Workplaces

The research-driven guide to the leadership behaviours which
create more engaged workplaces and higher performance,
Extraordinary Leadership in Australia and New Zealand is a
guidebook for what it takes, at any level of an organisation, to
bring out the best in people. And full of insights not just from
people who are making a difference, but also evidence from their
direct reports, colleagues and managers about the impact that The
Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® has on them and their
performance.

Drawing upon empirical data from more than 75,000 people in the
Australian and New Zealand workforce, the authors document how The
Five Practices are being applied here, and also compares this
region with data from 28 other countries. Interviews with more than
100 leaders and their teams provide real examples and practical
applications within the grasp of every reader who aspires to make a
difference.

Case studies are balanced across gender, function, and industry
providing a broad perspective, identifying why leadership matters,
and offering keen insights into how you lead others to
greatness.
