The Silent Rebellion cover

Leaders ask questions. Rebellious leadership is about asking the right ones, such as 'who needs to act' and 'what needs to be done to make this better'. In the aftermath of the global pandemic, everything has changed, and the fault lines of leadership were exposed. No area remains untouched. Government, education, health care social media, public, private and third sectors have all shifted. The failures of leadership demand a reimagining of how we will move ahead. Yet, it's not all doom and gloom. There is a way forward. Leadership expert, Chris Lewis, and business coach, Inez Robinson-Odom, address the challenges facing leaders today. This is not just theory. The lessons they teach come from working together in a commercially successful global enterprise, specializing in campaigns for commercial and community causes. The Silent Rebellion highlights the leaders of those communities and how they make a difference as modern leaders. The Silent Rebellion shows you how to be a different sort of leader. It considers the lessons of history and how they inform the future. Taking inspiration from unexpected places and unique figures such as Pauli Murray, Thomas Aquinas, George Washington Carver and Rene Descartes, you'll learn what it means to be a modern leader. The book also uses QR codes to link videos and examples of related content to bring the material to life.
