About
For those looking to be the best leaders they can be, seven dysfunctions stand in the way. These patterns of behaviour repeatedly undermine performance and derail careers, even for those with the best intentions.
In 35 years as an international coach, Olivier Courtois has seen all the traps into which leaders can fall. To keep your career, your team, your organisation and your life on track, he says, it takes constant vigilance.
In this self-coaching guide, you will learn how each dysfunction can drag you down, how you can defeat it and what gains you can make. Through a series of 21 questions, it gives you the tools, the practices and the skills to let you realise your potential as a leader who can transform performance in the workplace and keep making a difference in life.
Olivier makes becoming a better leader easier by demystifying what it takes to be effective in dealing with other people.
