Leadership is not a title or a position. It is a movement. Leadership is a trajectory in your life. It is growth, continuous growth, not just for yourself but for those you lead.
Some of us may lead a team; some may mentor and guide others. There are exceptional leaders born to educate and develop people. Leaders should aim to share a vision, be focused on the growth of others, be able to communicate clearly and be a problem solver.
The Shepherd and the Beast draws on the works of psychologists, myths and fables to highlight important lessons and encourages the reader to question their leadership style and to take time to reflect about how they choose to be in the world.
Along the path, we find our mentors and face our trials. We are distracted, and we fail – we are human, after all. In the chaos, we eventually find the balance required to grow. This is a book about facing demons and meeting mages.
Tramayne Monaghan went on a journey of heroic proportions, learning how to be a leader from the best and learning lessons from the trials of beasts. Being thrust into leadership positions at a young age, these are the real-life lessons learnt and the steps the reader can take to absorb them.
A must-read for every CEO, CFO, manager, and entrepreneur.
