Overview

"Geniuses like Mozart, Einstein, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Da Vinci share one common trait that sets them apart from their peers. And it's not their talent or a high IQ. What if you could use this secret to outgrow your competitors and increase your productivity and brand value? And create a 200-400% higher impact return and genuinely transform our world for the better? LEAD LIKE A GENIUS will take you on an inspirational journey through examples of genius from around the globe: initiatives that tackle climate change, the marine plastic crisis, pollution, poverty, inequality, and social exclusion exceptionally well. The book reveals why these achieve much better results than most. It provides thought-leading insights on avoiding common sustainability pitfalls and how to tackle our global issues for a far better return. The step-by-step guide is based on award-winning research nominated by the Social Innovation Research Director at Cambridge University. While simple to apply, it underpins our world's most successful impact strategies. Once you have read LEAD LIKE A GENIUS, you will see the genius behind genuinely effective sustainable leadership. You will have a powerful tool to guide you in achieving the best outcomes that boost business growth; and the best outcomes that truly transform our world.
