A new and inspiring take on leadership from a recognized expert

In The Leadership Route: How Different Approaches to Management Can Shape a Leader, Alex Cummins—one of Malaysia's top business trainers—delivers a practical and eye-opening guide to leadership that takes a close look at both “traditional” and “evolved” styles of leadership, including what sets them apart and the benefits that flow from adopting an evolved approach to leading others.

From developing a new and resilient mindset to creating a workspace of psychological safety, the author walks you through how to design and implement a workplace environment that your followers truly want to work in. You'll also find:

  • Strategies for directing others, delegating responsibility, and motivating your followers to reach their full potential
  • Ways to have difficult conversations in a way that directly addresses points of conflict without being adversarial
  • Techniques for role modelling the behaviour you hope to see in your employees

Perfect for new, aspiring, and seasoned managers seeking to navigate contemporary workplaces and lead effectively in all sorts of environments, The Leadership Route is a must-read guide for working professionals at every level of the corporate hierarchy.
