Increase your influence and ignite your passion to succeed The pleasure in leading people to achieve a vision is only surpassed by them truly sensing they did it themselves. Leading in the modern world is not about personality, style and charisma. People are not looking for rock-star leaders; they don’t care about your personality profile, theories on management or level of emotional intelligence. What people are after are leaders that are able to see the light on the hill; leaders that can establish an atmosphere of success where people actively contribute in a way that is enjoyable, challenging and fulfilling. The Leader Who Inspires is travelling the journey of life; not observing it from a theoretical perspective. This book covers the leadership essentials, providing practical insights to maximise your leadership potential. It contains two practical strategies for self-growth and a further two to apply leadership to transform your enterprise. The concept of The Leader Who Inspires is not for everyone; but it is for those who have a preference for action and an appetite to lead. A specialist in strategy and business transformation, Dan Jackson has spent a career observing leaders of all types at all levels in private and public enterprises. Thoroughly researched, The Leader Who Inspires applies grounded theory to extensive experience on how to effectively lead and transform the modern workplace. www.leaderwhoinspires.com

Why is the North East the most distinctive region of England? Where do the stereotypes about North Easterners come from, and why are they so often misunderstood? In this wideranging new history of the people of North East England, Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture--hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity--in centuries of border warfare and dangerous and demanding work in industry, at sea and underground. He explains how the landscape and architecture of the North East explains so much about the people who have lived there, and how a ''Northumbrian Enlightenment'' emerged from this most literate part of England, leading to a catalogue of inventions that changed the world, from the locomotive to the lightbulb. Jackson''s Northumbrian journey reaches right to the present day, as this remarkable region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and a newly assertive Scotland. Covering everything from the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, but whose people remain as distinctive as ever.
