This book aims to help leaders become the best versions of themselves, achieve extraordinary results, and help their team accomplish the same. Packed with research and practical advice from real-life positive leaders, it offers an extensive look into both what high-performance leadership is and how it can be achieved. Positive Leadership in Practice is a resource that all leaders can tap into to be more effective. The book introduces an ALIGHT model that guides leaders through six fundamental resources that can alight their own and their team's motivation and transform their performance to an extraordinary level. Further breaking down the six resources into 18 core components, the book expands on what constitutes the six resources to make them tangible and accessible. The book also offers leaders the opportunity to self-assess their own levels of resources and levels of positive leadership through a questionnaire, as well as opportunities to reflect on how to further develop these levels of resources and positive leadership. Finally, the book signposts practical strategies to tap into on the back of their reflections to take action to become their best possible positive leader. This book is for those starting out in their professional leadership journey to those with well-established leadership responsibilities and careers. It is for existing and aspiring managers, leaders, team leaders, senior leaders, CEOs, and all those with people development related roles such as in learning and development, leadership development, organisational development, coaching and wider human resources roles. This book is also for anyone in a more informal leadership position who may not recognise themselves as a leader; as really we are all leaders in some capacity whether we know that yet or not.
