Karen Ferris asked me to blurb her new book Be Remarkable. This is the first time I've been asked to do this for anyone so this podcast episode logically followed. Karen has the honour of being the only guest I've invited to the podcast twice. She's very vocal in talking about the leadership crisis that exists now and this book provides useful resources to help immediately.

This is the blurb I wrote:

“Are you looking for a practical guide to help you navigate the ever-evolving world of work? Look no further than Karen’s new book, which provides a human approach to work that is future-focused, effective, and feels good. Using a memorable acronym (R.E.M.A.R.K.A.B.L.E), Karen’s book is a valuable resource for leaders and employees alike. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, this book will help you develop the mindset you need to succeed in today’s fast-paced world. Mindset is everything and leaders at all levels who want to be remarkable will be well served by this thoughtful and practical book. I highly recommend reading and applying Karen’s teachings. An ever-evolving workforce and nonstop change means that ongoing learning is the key to success. This book is a great resource for a world of work faced with disruption.”

The main call to action comes from this quote in the book:

"Leaders may need to be agile, highly entrepreneurial, socially conscious, and digitally savvy. They must lead through ambiguity and uncertainty, managing a diverse workforce. They must possess cognitive flexibility and be innovative, adaptive, and collaborative."

Yes, please.

Listen as we discuss the leaders journey, the learn-unlearn-relearn cycle and how leadership needs to change in order to adapt to the current moment and to pave the way for a better future of work.
