Product Management

I absolutely loved this book. Sahota provides a practical guide on how you can evolve your leadership skills to influence change within a business by developing others, focusing on the people, and having a growth mindset. Every single page is golden, and I found myself glued to the content and context behind the credible approaches, which are focused around the concept of Evolutionary Leadership.

Evolutionary Leadership is the choice to evolve oneself and develop the capabilities needed to evolve an organisation.

It’s common to hear in the business world that it’s leadership’s fault for specific problems, but the book focuses on how you can instead use that energy to focus on improving your own skills and behaviour to drive the necessary changes by taking responsibility, setting a good example, having courage, low ego, and ultimately influencing throughout the business which as a side effect drives change.

During my career in business, one of the most impactful leadership behaviours I’ve experienced is having the courage to do the right thing even if it’s hard and to set a good example, which proves to be one of the quickest ways to driving positive change and a healthy culture, so it’s been thoroughly enjoyable and thought  provoking reading a whole book about it.

“Understanding reality is a critical key ingredient for success.”

“All we can do to really learn the truth of reality is to constantly test our models and seek new ones.”

“The production capability will only evolve to the extent that organisational learning takes place.”
