Another question Kogan Page asked us in our interview with them was: how is our 5-S Framework different from any other leadership theory or model?

Whilst techniques, tools and theories can be useful in leadership development, if we lean on them too much they can end up being counter-productive.

What organizations really need are leaders who can help them gain advantage by thinking differently.

So the 5-S Framework is designed to support this with 5 key leadership themes: seeing; showing; shaping; serving; and sharing.

But this book is not just about leadership, it’s about uncommon leadership.  So each theme also relates to an uncommon insight:

• Seeing – finding the sense before it becomes common.
• Shaping – making good sense into common sense.
• Showing – doing the common things uncommonly well.
• Serving – having the common touch.
• Sharing – making uncommon leadership more common.
