Description
Book SynopsisIn every organization there are barriers that prevent people from contributing to the full and these often result in individuals feeling marginalized. This book argues that there is an inner warrior in every person that needs courage to change and express themselves and perform to full potential. The author uses a powerful model of the six C''s to show how organizations and individuals can achieve this.
Trade Review'This is an important book about life's hardest question: should you stick with what's familiar but unsatisfying, or risk change for the chance of something more meaningful? The Inner Warrior will help you confront your fears and find the courage to be yourself. It shows that being the person you really are - not hiding behind an image - will give you enormous energy, in both your work and your personal life.' - Rachel Baird, Health Features Editor, Daily Express
'This excellent book should be required reading for all leaders. It is an indispensable road map to the mysterious terrain of team dynamics. Deeply thought provoking, it really will help you to understand why some teams excel when others implode. Written with sharp insight and practical real-life case studies this readable account of interpersonal dynamics is one of the few management books which gives you the curiosity, motivation and confidence to change your behaviour from chapter one and to reap rewards by chapter two. I couldn't put it down.' - Debbie Hewitt, Managing Director, RAC Plc Roadside Services

'I suspect all those in senior management and leadership positions will find the scenarios explored in this book all too familiar and will easily identify with the types of individuals and relationships so colourfully illustrated. It gives one reassurance to realise that one is not alone in the encountering barriers that seem to confront one on a daily basis and gives one the courage to see such barriers for what they are and combat them.' - Jevan Morris, Director of Intelligence & Investigation, Police Information Technology Organisation
