Congratulations to Douglas Conant – ConantLeadership for the winning article of the year ‘Leaders you can (and must) do better. Here’s how’.
An extremely thought provoking and inspirational article that many managers will identify with, which is based on a leadership career spanning 40 years of experience. A simple diagnostic tool based on 5 questions has led to the Conant leadership model or flywheel that provides continuous improvement through regular reflection.
Some really insightful quotes and observations which is coupled with a useful diagnostic model and a strong emphasis on self-learning. The model offers real hope for any manager that wants to improve and develop their leadership capabilities and embark on a leadership journey of adventure.
‘Leadership is more than a job it’s a craft’
