Great engagement is the key to truly successful leadership, and the secret to moving forward is knowing when to step back… It is no longer about being the hero, the one who has to make everything happen. There is another way: be the host. This book reveals why Host Leadership is set to become a pioneering concept in 21st century management. You will discover how to:

  • Understand how to apply hosting strategies in your organization to achieve greater agility, flexibility and responsiveness
  • Become a leader with a highly tuned sense of relationship building and engagement
  • Learn how to step into and out of the six NEW roles of engagement
  • Adopt the four positions for a Host Leader

“A great addition to the world of leadership ideas and thoroughly recommended.” Ralph Lewis, Chair Greenleaf Centre for Servant-Leadership (UK)

“Being a great host helps you to be a great networker. This practical book will help you build relationships and engagement both inside and outside your organization.” Dr Ivan Misner, founder, BNI
