Practical, accessible and solution-focused, Making Sense of Leadership helps entrepreneurs, managers and leaders develop their leadership roles and skills. The authors present five distinct styles of leadership that promote positive change and innovation. They encourage readers to play with these roles, recognizing and taking on those elements which most appropriately suit their situation.

Discovering these roles offers an important guide to the new leader shaping his or her own leadership approach. It also provides interesting challenges to the existing leader who wants to refresh their stance in order to tackle a new situation. The book is supported by exercises for groups, so that the text can also be used as a learning and development resource.
