Inspiration
Olivier Courtois is the author of The Seven Dysfunctions of Leaders: 21 questions to
transform your business, your career and your life. He was inspired to write it by the
thousands of leaders who have turned to him to manage significant moments of transition. At each of these points, he has observed seven repeating patterns that undermine how they perform, particularly when under pressure.
Olivier offers exceptional insights and tips on leading and inspiring complex teams ... in an increasingly ambiguous and fast-changing environment, he brings alignment, clarity and engagement
