**Shortlisted for the The Leadership Book of the Year Award 2024**
You may think it’s small stuff, but it has a big impact.
Great leadership is about people: connecting with them and inspiring them to perform at their best. But leaders under pressure tend to focus on tasks, to-do lists and deadlines.
The result? Teams are disengaged, performance and productivity are below expectations, morale is low.
Building relationships isn’t a one-off task. It happens through every single interaction, and we aren’t paying those everyday moments nearly enough attention.
Do Sweat the Small Stuff challenges you to notice and own the profound impact of your micro-interactions. To explore how your speaking and listening, your habits and your behaviours affect those around you, whether you realize or not. Finally, it reveals how to reinvent those interactions to reshape how you show up as a leader and build trusting, productive relationships with your people.
Sarah Langslow distils more than two decades of hands-on experience building effective leadership skills and behaviours in the corporate and sporting world and as an executive coach into an actionable plan for sustainable transformation.
This book provides great insight into our day-to-day interactions and how we can improve on it by focusing on the detail, and making sure each individual and interactions counts. One of the standout features of the book is its combination of theoretical frameworks with practical steps and thought exercises, which are easy to follow and highly effective. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to enhance their everyday interactions as a leader and a make an overall positive impact in their lives, organisations and society. - Amazon 5*
Flips a common script on its head - the script that tells us that we are defined in big moments of our life. The author suggests that rather than focusing on the grandiose we pay attention to the small minutia of our relationships, our day-to-day interactions and the way even the smallest of actions we take align (or don’t) with our values. There are many excellent examples and patterns described within the book as well as exercises and tools to practice and reflect on how these seemingly simple nuances show up in your own life. I felt like I was being coached by Langslow through the page! - Amazon 5*
