LEAD BIG is a book about how to make changes and get things done in an environment where creating change is turbulent and a journey not easily navigated.
Using his 28 years as a leader with the Canadian RCMP, Ward Clapham writes about his experience as a leader in a highly rigid, command-and-control environment. His detachment was celebrated as one of the most progressive and effective units within the RCMP and more than 53 countries from around the world have studied his leadership approach. His leadership model has also been championed by government and private institutions as the key to successful community safety and public reassurance.
LEAD BIG takes some of Ward’s toughest career experiences and uses storytelling to weave a fabric of memorable lessons. Full of hard knocks and touching insights LEAD BIG teaches what it takes to inspire people and break with old, outdated leadership models in order to remain, human, values driven and successful.
“Every breakthrough first requires a break with the old paradigms, practices, and principles that tether people and organizations to the status quo.”
