If you can lead a dog, you can lead a team.Most leadership books are packed with jargon, complex theories, and corporate buzzwords that look impressive but change very little in real life.
Putting the Lead into Leadership takes a refreshingly different approach.
Drawing on decades of real-world leadership experience, academic insight, and a surprisingly powerful source of wisdom
dog ownership this book shows how the everyday behaviours used to guide, train, and build trust with dogs translate directly into effective workplace leadership.
Through practical examples, relatable humour, and clear guidance, Kevin Weare breaks leadership down into what actually matters:
clarity, consistency, trust, and calm confidence.
Whether you are a new manager, an experienced leader, or someone who has been promoted without formal leadership training, this book provides practical tools you can apply immediately.
You will learn how to:
- Set clear expectations and build trust
- Understand personality types and emotional intelligence
- Motivate, coach, and develop high-performing teams
- Communicate with impact and run effective meetings
- Handle difficult behaviours and manage change confidently
- Delegate without micromanaging
- Develop your own leadership confidence and credibility
Blending professional insight with engaging storytelling,
Putting the Lead into Leadership strips away unnecessary theory and replaces it with
practical, human leadership that works.
Leadership isn't about barking orders. It's about guidance, trust, and consistency.
And if you can lead a dog, you can lead people.
