WINNER OF THE SABEW MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP BUSINESS BOOK AWARD

'Thought-provoking' Wall Street Journal

'A must-read' Donald C. Hambrick

'Insightful . . . reminds us why and how expertise matters' Herminia Ibarra

What makes a great leader?

This is the question Amanda Goodall has been asking for the last twenty years. From boardrooms and F1 race tracks to healthcare and scientific innovation, her research has proven time and again that when it comes to leadership, we need bosses with a deep understanding of the worlds in which they operate. That's what makes the people around them feel happier, more motivated and productive.

Credible identifies the key characteristics of good leaders and a new model for career success, by combining expertise with the leadership development experts need to succeed.

In a world short of trust, Goodall shows us that when it comes to leadership, credible experts are needed more than ever.
