Leadership rests on 4 pillars: Relationships - to truly connect with other people; Equipping - developing other's potential; Attitude - the make-or-break ingredient of success; Leadership -influencing the people around you. The 4 Pillars of Leadership asks questions such as: How can I gain the trust of others?; What is my most important relationship?; Whom should I equip?; How can I inspire others to excel?; How can I grow as a leader?; How does attitude influence leadership? The answers to these questions will show you how positive, goal-oriented leadership can make you stand out in your organisation, and how your leadership skills will help you to go all the way to the top.


In The 4 Pillars of Leadership, these four crucial areas are called the four pillars, because they are key features of successful leadership.


The four pillars are:

  • Relationships: connecting with others

  • Equipping: helping others to achieve their potential

  • Attitude: make or break ingredient of success

  • Leadership: influence others around you
