The Audacity Spectrum: Leading with Care, Courage and Non-Conformity

A transformational guide to stepping up and standing out

Good leadership requires authenticity, assertiveness and adaptability. It takes courage. Yet many of us are stuck playing it safe and striving to fit in.

Dispelling the myth that caring is a weakness, Alina Addison shows how the things we care about most can fuel our most courageous acts. Combining deep research with her own expertise – as a pioneering corporate leader, Emotional Intelligence coach, and mother to a son on the autism spectrum – Addison presents the eight life-changing principles behind audacious leadership.

These practical, proven methods will help you identify the things that set you apart, inspire others and dare to create the life and career you truly want.
