Lead Like Mary Barry Dore

Traditionally, we have thought of leaders as lying somewhere on a continuum from autocratic bullies at one end, to weak and spineless at the other. There is a different kind of leader. Meet Mary, who gains her authority not from the position she holds but because of who she is. Mary is an authentic leader who truly believes that her first role is to serve others. She is absolutely committed to delivering results, but always the right results delivered in the right way. She cares about people, and her decision making is strongly rooted in her values and beliefs. There are Marys and those who aspire to be Mary, at all levels in organisations, part of an evolution to a more principled and effective way of leading. In this book we explore the ten traits that define Mary, and challenge you to become part of this evolution - to Lead Like Mary.
