DARE TO BE A REVOLUTIONARY LEADER
FEATURED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES – WRITTEN BY CHARLEY SWORDS
ARE YOU READY TO:
- Develop a new mental image of yourself?
- Value and lead your employees with integrity?
- Be more fulfilled in your personal life?
- Take Action and try something different?
There is no such thing as perfection – only growth. This applies to leadership also.
With decades of experience developing organisational leaders in 27 countries throughout the world – from Albania to Vietnam – I have created a practical, engaging book to help you develop your leadership skills.
Full of simple and insightful exercises, this book will help you to become a more soul-centered, people-focused leader.
“I love the way this book is written, so clear and easy to understand. I think the addition of spirituality in a book like this is so refreshing and needed and Charley achieved a beautiful balance with that. I love the points about the different expectations from employers ‘now’ as opposed to ‘then’ and I love the “KYE” chapter in particular. That one means a lot to me because I always felt like a number when I was in the corporate world and I hated that. I think the interactive charts and graphs are a great idea and I am going to use some of those for my own personal growth.”

DARE TO BE A REVOLUTIONARY LEADER
Divided into three distinct parts, “Dare To Be A Revolutionary Leader” covers all the areas that are critical to succesful leadership.
Part 1: YOURSELF
The first person you lead is yourself, so taking the time to assess your blindspots and skills is fundamental to developing your leadership skills. Through seven chapters in this section, you will learn to recognise what your leadership style is, how to use it effectively, and how to manage your time and energy. With details on powerful communication, self-care, focus, and how to manage meetings effectively you’ll master your self-development so that you can be a revolutionary leader.
Part 2: YOUR EMPLOYEES
Psychological safety is essential to empowering people to create thriving organisations. How well do you know your employees? And why is it important that you know them? Learn about the art of delegation and effective feedback so that you’ll have empowered, engaged employees. Get a better understanding of what motivates different people so that you can build and lead high performance teams. This section also looks at staff development and succession planning so that your organisation is sustainable in the future.
Part 3: YOUR RESULTS
What to expect when you’ve implemented strategic transformation, and how to manage your customers’ experiences during the process. This concise section gives you practical tips so that your transformational leadership continues to inspire others, and your organisational strategy is always successfully executed. Customers have a different experience of organisations to employees. Taking this into account and delivering consistent customer service during transformation is crucial to develop and maintain customer loyalty.
