Ruthlessly Caring: And Other Paradoxical Mindsets Leaders Need to be Future-Fit

A startlingly insightful exploration of contemporary leadership

In Ruthlessly Caring: And other paradoxical mindsets leaders need to be future-fit, leadership strategist Amy Walters Cohen delivers a one-of-a-kind insight into contemporary business leadership. In the book, you’ll explore how the leadership environment is being radically redefined by 12 megatrends and how five paradoxical mindsets are necessary to achieving high performance and effective decision making in this new era of business. From ambitious appreciation to political virtue, humble confidence, and responsible daring, you’ll discover how to develop and expand your leadership identity. Whilst being heavily based in research, this revolutionary approach takes a practical look at the day-to-day realities of leading in business, offering fresh insight into how to tackle tough decisions, change behaviour, and evolve habits to become future-fit and thrive in a modern environment.

The author shows you how to:

• Weave together multiple, seemingly contradictory, mindsets to enhance decision making and day-to-day leadership
• Adapt to the megatrends that are driving much of the change we see throughout the world
• Shake up the thinking, habits, and behaviours that are holding you back from unleashing your full potential as a leader

An indispensable roadmap to leading modern organisations, Ruthlessly Caring is a must-read for c-suite executives, directors, senior managers, and aspiring business leaders who hope to perform well in their role and get the best out of themselves and the people they lead.
