Leadership with Soul is an invitation for existing and future leaders to stop, think and reinvent their leadership approach to become ever-better leaders. Leadership with Soul is a cutting-edge, systemic leadership model that has created sustainable growth and value in high-performance companies across several sectors of the economy.
Anyone, from a management student to a global CEO, who wants to become a more inspirational leader and achieve better outcomes, will benefit.
André Lacroix reveals his formula on how to make businesses flourish. He uses his universal humanist principles that have been developed over a long, diverse and outstanding leadership career. He also explains simple ways you can inspire a global organisation to outperform the competition; how you can create a truly customer-centric organisation; how best to inspire people to follow the lead set at the top, and how to leave a sustainable legacy for the generations to come. For Lacroix, true leadership prioritises sustainability and a desire to make the world an 'ever-better' place for everyone and many of the largest corporations are now adopting the sustainability solutions he envisioned.

'In my 27 years in the world of Leadership Advisory, I've rarely come across CEOs who've shared their insights by authoring a book, and rarer still one who invests huge personal time and energy in teaching leaders in their own organisation. André has done both. His book is a masterpiece of relevant advice to top leaders at a time when all leaders need to learn anew and reinvent themselves in order to reinvent their organisations. Leading in Complexity means leaders need greater capacities to sense and experiment, to understand the emotional and the rational realms. André demonstrates how putting people at the heart of a business makes a difference and he invites us all to experiment more, sharing his insights to accelerate our impact on businesses and on societies. I know André as masterful in understanding market forces and business economics and here he shares how and reminds us all that people matter most. It's only people and our leadership and innovation that will also save the planet.' - Jill AderGlobal Chairwoman, Egon Zehnder
'Identifying the SOUL of an organisation as the real engine of leadership is classically André Lacroix. André possesses a special ability to focus intensely on key issues of organisational success. In this very readable book, André shares his deep insight into leadership that links people with the mission of our organisations. André's experience and research confirms the wisdom of building an effective organisation whose people feel the power of the organisation's SOUL... and thereby greatly enhance their own effectiveness.' - Adrian BellamyChairman and CEO of two large corporations followed by multiple positions as a Director of various companies including Reckitt Benckiser (C), Gucci (C), Gap, Williams-Sonoma (C) and Starbucks
'André Lacroix, with his leadership building block of 10 principles developed over his decades of experience as a corporate leader, will encourage you to become a more inspirational and inclusive leader, putting employees — the hidden heroes — at the heart of your growth strategy.

'This work is a tour de force by a deeply experienced CEO on how leaders can engage the human agenda in business authentically and seriously. André Lacroix provides rich insights and actionable examples on how to create deep engagement and unleash performance. This is an excellent call to arms for leaders to go beyond paying lip-service to the people agenda and to engaging human issues seriously and with depth, both as the right thing to do but also as a powerful source of competitive advantage.' - Gurnek BainsAuthor of Meaning Inc and Managing Partner of the leadership consulting firm, Global Future Partners
'As an inspiring leader, André Lacroix has formalised his numerous experiences into a very educational leadership model for business school students and all those who have to lead strategic transformation. Glad to see on the market such a concentration of practical leadership thinking.' - Prof. Frank BournoisExecutive President&Dean, ESCP Business School
