The COVID-19 pandemic literally grounded us all and created enormous, unprecedented challenges for leaders across the travel, tourism and aviation industry. In a series of exclusive interviews with twenty top leaders across the industry and world, Anita Mendiratta gets right to the heart of how to successfully lead through a crisis.
This beautifully produced, limited hardback edition features an exclusive gold foiled jacket.
Why is it that when a crisis occurs some people immediately, instinctively step up and lead, as though hearing a calling? Are they just wired that way, born to lead? Or do certain moments in their lives put them on a path to extraordinary leadership?
The Call to Leadership: Unlocking the Leader Within in Times of Crisis reveals the true essence of leadership in times of extreme challenge. Beyond the technical aspects of leadership, this book goes deep into the hearts and minds of global decision makers at the highest level.
Through exclusive interviews, twenty C-suite leaders from the travel, tourism and aviation industries share their unique perspectives and never-before-heard personal stories on how they led through one of the most challenging times in modern history when the world was literally grounded – the COVID-19 pandemic. Rigorous as a study of exceptional leadership, their very real revelations and raw reflections offer invaluable insight into how you can control and navigate your own personal or professional crises, emerging stronger on the other side.
