Through working with a host of managers who have made the change, she looks at the experimentation, networking and analysis required to be successful. Whilst Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader looks at the pressures on modern leaders, the barriers the hit in trying to embrace change, and how the best way to pivot is through action rather than examination.
