Great leadership is hard to find.
Companies spend millions trying to fix their leadership issues by recruiting new leaders, hiring consultants to tell them how to restructure and a myriad of other ‘outside-in’ initiatives that fail to achieve the intended results.
What if they’re approaching the leadership dilemma entirely the wrong way?
Peter Shields has written a truly unique book. Peter describes the opportunity and challenges involved in what the leadership research and literature espouses. He has created a leadership novel with a rich constellation of complex characters, plots, themes and resolutions. All business is personal and it can be a profound journey of transformation. Leadership Alchemy artistically renders the transformative journey of business leadership into a powerful and very provocative leadership transformation read.

Leadership Alchemy presents a compelling vision and pathway to great leadership and comes at a time when humanity and the planet desperately need it. This is a book rich in wisdom and lessons skilfully woven into a storyline populated by engaging characters – ‘show not tell’ at its very finest.
Peter throws down the leadership challenge and then leads us on the adventure – it’s clear that it’s not easy, it’s not quick and it’s not for the faint hearted but for those willing to take it, the rewards are immense. This is the guidebook I will carry on my adventure and I am immensely grateful for it.
