From the authors own practical experience, from his observation of other leaders and from his wide research he found that people who have become highly respected usually display the eight characteristics described within the inspiring leadership philosophy. Employing these qualities is how they manage to get others to follow them willingly. You could do the same. A coaching client, Sarah Jane Mills, who critically reviewed a draft of this book, described the benefits as follows: "This is a fresh approach to leadership and it is named perfectly. It brings together a wealth of different ideas and concepts under a very clear and simple set of 8 principles. This is about leadership based on relationship. It gives people permission to be inspiring leaders. You can analyse your own strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats using the compass and you will be given a set of tools to develop your skill so you become a better inspiring leader. If you focus on these principles you will affect others in a highly positive way."
