I am pleased to share the latest thoughtful and encouraging review of my book “The Courage to Lead”. Thank you Luke for your words, it was my sincere intention to share both the triumphs and trials of my leadership journey, hoping to illustrate the importance of vulnerability and resilience. Knowing that you found the book engaging and relatable, and recommend my book for other leaders across disciplines is gratifying. See Luke Negri, Sergent, Tasmania Police’s full review here: Article
“Allan Sicard presents a thorough exploration of his leadership through the lens of vulnerability and resilience (in The Courage to Lead – Resilience and Compassion in Police Command). While primarily exploring his policing leadership, he also explores other professional and personal aspects of his journey.
Allans mantra is all about empowering and supporting others to lead.
Allan discusses not only his achievements, but also reflects on those adverse periods in his career and life. Allan has presented the book in a chronological and easy for follow format. Finishing each chapter is like finishing an episode of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad – you just have to keep going! I finished the book in 2 nights.
Allan (and therefore the book) has legitimacy and credibility. Overall, “Courage to Lead” is a transformative read that encourages leaders to lead with integrity, humility and compassion, ultimately driving meaningful change.
I highly recommend this book, to anyone, in any discipline, industry or workplace seeking to enhance their own leadership skills.
Thanks Allan.”
