Research that stays connected to real work.

“After years in leadership, few books on the subject still manage to surprise me. How Leadership Works did. Not by offering another guaranteed formula, but by showing leadership in all its complexity, from classical theories through psychology, change and crisis to power and its darker sides. It is a smart, practical and highly readable map for anyone who understands that good leadership is not about one correct style, but about the ability to read people, situations and the world around them. A book you will return to not for answers, but for better questions.”

“Peter Ulcin’s latest book traces the transformation of leadership from traditional models towards a modern, flexible approach that combines expertise, empathy and emotion with the ability to anticipate profound change. Digitalisation, technological development, artificial intelligence and remote work demand a different kind of leader, whose qualities and capabilities are vividly described in the book. This book does not tell you whether you are a good leader or will become one. After reading it, you must answer that question for yourself. For me, this is the greatest value of this exceptionally inspiring book.”

“Diligence, knowledge and daily energy grounded in ethics and morality are essential. Every day, you must set an example for the people you work with. This book is a clear, authoritative and valuable guide to the principles of leadership, while also showing what leaders should avoid.”
