Co-written with Professor Amanda Sinclair, the book describes the experiences of 30 of Australia’s business leaders, all with successful careers in large corporations.
The childhood stories of these men and women are enlightening. They establish that early experiences in crossing various types of borders – physical, cultural, linguistic, socio-economic and emotional – are a key ingredient for successful leadership in today’s world. It suggests that successful future leaders will be people who, having harnessed their own experiences of difference, are able to bring openness, flexibility and courage to their leadership.
