What makes for an exceptional leader in organisations today? Do you truly know what it takes to lead a team? Do you know what works and what doesn’t?
Many leaders find themselves in leadership positions without knowing what’s really expected of them.
They are often promoted into leadership roles because of their exemplary technical skills, yet never had the opportunity to develop their people-management skills.
To become an effective leader, leaders must first understand how to follow. They must also be open to adapt their approach so they aren’t locked into techniques that no longer work in an ever-changing environment.
Self-awareness, resilience, vulnerability and time-management skills are critical to effective leadership, as are many other, often veiled, factors.
With over thirty years’ experience in leading teams, Ms Layt guides both new and experienced leaders to reflect on their weaknesses and develop their strengths.
Expertly weaving professional anecdotes with proven leadership strategies, Dominique Layt inspires all leaders, regardless of profession, to take their leadership skills to new heights.

‘This book is a brilliant read for those becoming first-time leaders as they will learn the skills, tools and tips to establish themselves as the leader they want to become.

’Become a Life-Changing Leader encourages new managers to question and reflect upon their own experiences and skills as they learn and develop their own leadership styles grounded in the frameworks, lessons and practical examples that Dominique presents. It is especially important to support new managers who have missed so much in-person training and leadership guidance during Covid. This book is an essential addition to the toolkit for young, new and emerging talent who will be the next crop of inspirational leaders of tomorrow.’ Dean Mc Kenna, Associate Director for Client Services at Flywheel Digital, UK
‘Become a life-changing leader offers current and emerging leaders a comprehensive yet practical resource for strengthening the effectiveness of their own personal leadership. Dominique has drawn on her own extensive leadership experience to provide examples and anecdotes. Beginning with a focus on one’s self before moving onto practical ways to manage a team and become the best leader, leaders will find this book a valuable tool for their leadership journey.’ Alana Bailey, Chief Financial Officer, Global Listed Insurer
