A book by Harley Lovegrove
What are Inspirational Leaders?

Inspirational leaders are much more than great motivators, much more than just
charismatic icons. In fact the majority of
Inspirational Leaders are not what one
might describe as charismatic at all. These special people seem to have the
knack of consistently making good or great decisions, they are able to take on
board a wide range of parameters and to mould them into strategies with vision.
Inspirational Leaders sometimes lead by example but, more often than not, they
lead in much the same way as the great symphonic orchestra conductors; first
by studying in immense detail their subject matter and only then, as if by magic,
inspiring the talent that surrounds them to deliver extraordinary results.
Inspirational Leaders have influence on all those that enter their space and take
the time to listen. From secretaries and line managers, to boardroom colleagues
and shareholders, the Inspirational Leader binds his or her team together and
gives meaning to the way employees conduct their business lives. But just when you are beginning to think that this book is only about leaders in business, let me reassure you, that Inspirational Leaders can be found in every kind of environment; be it at home as a parent, in a religious or charitable community or even in politics and academia.
