Beyonders: Transcending Average Leadership

This book examines the qualities held by ‘Beyonders’; world leaders who have held a hugely positive influence not just during their political reign, but that have served as an inspiration to humankind. The text examines why for world leaders to go down in history, they must surpass their job description and work to elicit positive, dramatic and lasting change within society. Using case studies including Nelson Mandela, two academic authors reveal the secret of legendary leadership.
