This book may be controversial!
Michael Kouly passionately studied leadership at Harvard and Princeton universities. His scholarly research, combined with his 35 years of experience in war journalism and top organizational leadership, helped and inspired thousands of executives and government officials around the globe. An advisor to state-leaders and a fellow of the World Bank, Michael has authored several books about leadership, strategy, meaning, and purpose. His unique executive leadership programs are held worldwide and are genuinely life-changing experiences.
Now, in this book, Michael articulates the core of his leadership knowledge and experience in an easy-to-read, clear, concise, and timeless package. "This is Leadership" aims to rethink the conventional understanding of leadership and remove the clutter that has surrounded this critical concept. It takes leadership back to its core and re-attaches to it a moral dimension that includes courage, sacrifice, truth, responsibility, love, authenticity, meaning, fulfillment, in addition to other values and virtues that can help us live together in peace and prosperity.
This book will answer many critical questions, such as:
- Why the old ways of thinking about leadership do not work anymore.
- How leadership is, at its core, about mobilizing people towards a purpose that elevates themselves, their families, communities, and organizations.
- How leadership is a messy, risky, and dangerous enterprise that involves fear, betrayals, tolerating pain, and enduring injustice.
- How leadership may use conflict, instability, chaos, tension, and stress to create a better reality.
- How leadership is not about authority, followers, power, or influence.
- How leadership is a noble act of service that can be practiced by everyone.
Life is hard. We can make it bearable, and maybe beautiful, but undoubtedly meaningful and worthwhile. We can live together with honor, dignity, joy, generosity, and physical and spiritual wealth. This is the challenge of leadership, and this is our invitation to act. It is our duty.
Lead whenever you can, because you matter far more than you think.
Start with yourself NOW. Learn. Live. Lead.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
