Leaders Start With Themselves: The Six Fundamentals of Reflective Leadership (Paperback)

 

With 46 years of leadership experience in Singapore’s world-class public service and 15 years developing leaders, Kevin Santa Maria knows that what separates good leaders from the great ones isn’t drive or charisma—it’s self-knowledge from constant self-reflection.

Sustainable, high-performance leadership flows from leaders who first know themselves, invest in their people in positive ways and build cultures rooted in trust and genuine care.

This book is a practical step-by-step guide to self-reflection. Drawing on the author’s leadership journey, it walks readers through six fundamentals of reflective leadership:

1. Self-Awareness and Self-Management

2. Empathy, Active Listening and Engagement

3. Communication and Feedback

4. Building Trust

5. Leading Teams

6. Developing People

Leadership is a continuous journey, not a destination.
This book is your companion along the way.
