Synopsis

***WINNER Australian Business Book of the Year***

The toughest part of leadership isn't strategy, budgets or vision. It's the people stuff.

Silos. Turf wars. The personality clash that quietly derails an entire project. Most leadership advice hands you tactics for the surface symptoms. People Stuff goes deeper - to the patterns underneath.

Winner of the Australian Business Book Awards Book of the Year, People Stuff is your map to the complex territory of human behaviour at work. Leadership futurist Zoë Routh gives you "bionic x-ray eyes" to see why people do what they do - so you can build solutions that actually last.

Across five parts, you'll learn to:

• Read the leadership landscape and the developmental pathways your people move through
• Master the practice of perspective - see better, so you can lead better
• Recognise the five core leadership archetypes - and the shadows to avoid
• Tame the Four Devils - the Fire Bug, Storm Driver, Water Bomber and Ground Splitter behind your hardest workplace conflicts
• Lead with conviction, confidence and compassion at a time when trust in leadership has never been more fragile.

"This is most definitely not leadership for dummies. This is an advanced book about developing wisdom and mastery as a leader." - Peter Cook

This is not leadership for beginners. It's the handbook for leaders ready to work on themselves first.
