Painted Wolves: A New Model of Leadership from Powerful Women (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985645224)

"I never expected to receive a masterclass in organizational leadership on a South African safari."

But as our eight-seater Toyota Land Cruiser crunched over the sundried Kruger Park brush-it happened.

As symbols of power, lions have often been used as a motivational figure for leaders. But do lions really make the best role models? Or does the painted wolf, with its collaborative and communal approach to life, provide a better example of leadership to follow?

Painted Wolves calls into question our dominant views of leadership by examining the underrepresented story of women leading their countries around the globe. Through these pages, you will:

• Challenge your perception of what it means to be an effective leader
• Identify 6 critical skills for leading differently and
• Develop strategies for supporting and growing the representation of women in leadership

From stories of the compassion and decisiveness of Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand to the collective approach of Mia Motley in the Caribbean, you'll learn why we need a new model of leadership and how you can usher in a new era - the era of the painted wolf.
