Imperfect leadership - Steve Munby

When asked to describe his own leadership style, Steve Munby uses the word "imperfect".

This is not something he apologizes for; he feels imperfect leadership should be celebrated. Too often we are given examples of leaders who are put on some kind of pedestal, lauded as superheroes who have it all worked out, and are so good at what they do that nobody else can come close.

This book is the antidote to that flawed perception.

Imperfect leadership is an honest reflection upon leadership. It is about Steve's journey,  covering his highs and ultimately, how he learned to refine and improve his leadership.

It is about messy, trial-and-error, butterflies-in-the-stomach leadership and about thoughtful and invitational leadership - and the positive impact it can have.

At the heart of the book are edited highlights of 12 keynote speeches delivered to increasingly large audiences of school leaders between 2005 and 2017. These speeches, delivered at the Seizing success and inspiring leadership conferences, form the structure around which Steve's story and insights are wrapped.
