Good Leaders in Turbulent Times

Bedtime reading for leaders who can’t sleep… A unique and rich mix of imaginative story-telling and practical advice from an author with six decades of management and leadership experience, Good Leaders in Turbulent Times is for those nightmare times when everything seems to fall apart. With engaging humour and deep wisdom, it tells the stories of leaders who are fictional but probably not unlike you, who are doing their best not just to be leaders but good leaders who respond positively to the turbulent times they are living through. But they drift into crisis and struggle in ‘wild waters’. With fortitude they navigate their way to dry ground, recover and find new paths. The wise words they discover along the way will be as valuable for you as for them. Good Leaders in Turbulent Times is for good leaders everywhere, from those in the smallest through to largest organizations, who want to build and sustain a civil society which is decent and just – so we, with all creatures on earth, can live together well for the foreseeable future. Martin Farrell has held senior positions in civil society organizations such as Save the Children and the British Red Cross. Since his first assignment with the UN in 2002 he has been in demand as an international facilitator and crisis coach for civil society leaders and was awarded Certified Professional Facilitator Emeritus status in 2022.
