Award-winning diversity, equity and inclusion leader, Michelle Redfern believes that closing the gender leadership gap is not about fixing women. It is about providing them with a human compass to navigate their way to leadership success. Rather than change their behaviour, they need to learn the skills and gain the confidence required to reach their leadership potential.

The Leadership Compass is evidence-based, illustrated with the author s own experiences and those of others, and it provides a proven approach for readers to follow.

Many leadership books are preoccupied with the soft skills of emotional intelligence (EQ) and social intelligence (SQ) and, of course, Michelle covers these in her book. But she believes that many aspiring women leaders are missing the most powerful contributor and that is business intelligence (BQ). Women need to understand the financials and the metrics if they are to reach the highest executive levels in our organisations.

The Leadership Compass is a no-holds-barred look at leadership through the lens of the career of a woman who is, and always has been, a leader. It is essential reading for women at all stages of their career.

Reviews for The Leadership Compass: The ultimate guide for women leaders to reach their full potential

Michelle's genuine and relatable approach to sharing her experiences in business and sports makes The Leadership Compass a must-read for women who are ready to take charge of their careers. This book is a game-changer! As a black immigrant woman, navigating the corporate world often left me feeling adrift, encountering setbacks that seemed insurmountable. However, Michelle's astute insights and practical advice have helped turn my head a few degrees, allowing me to see possibilities that were in my blind spot before. Amal Yusuf CIO, Great Southern Bank Michelle Redfern is a refreshing voice in the equity space. There is no beating around the bush or mincing words - Michelle tells it like it is, and I was delighted in reading this book that she writes as she speaks. Michelle has a knack of being able to engage with people from shop floor to executive, and her book will be universally appealing for this very reason. Bronwyn Woods GM Airport Operations, Delta Air Lines Michelle has been successfully challenging and inspiring women to step into and realise their leadership potential for many years. I've seen her insights resonate with women at every stage of their career journey and have significant personal and organisational impact. I am grateful to have experienced and supported her leadership programs first-hand and to now have this knowledge in a book to share more widely! Carol-Ann Gough
