The Leader’s Clothes – 19 insights into leadership
How is your leadership? That’s not an easy question to answer, especially because we still strongly associate leadership with bosses. But that’s not what it is really about. Nowadays, leadership is everyone’s job. In this inspiration session, we get to the essence of leadership and give personal direction to your own leadership, to serve your own qualities and context.

In 2013, ‘The Leader in the Mirror (De leider in de spiegel)’ was published. The book quickly became a bestseller for anyone interested or specialized in leadership. The book’s honest approach, combined with its inspiring stories and up-to-date research, was a source of inspiration to many. Four years on, ‘The Leader’s Clothes (De kleren van de leader)’ is due to be published. Again, we are presented with 19 different perspectives combined with recent research and new testimonies. But just how does this book differ from its predecessor? Read about it in this blog post.
