- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2024I attended one of Barry's leadership courses about 10 years and received his first book on leadership 'Lead Like Mary' as part of the course, which is written in the style of a story (with lessons). I really recommend buying and reading this book too (first if possible) as it cleraly highlights the qualities that do and do not make good leaders.
This book 'Lead! Finding your Voice in a Chaotic World' takes the learning from the first book much further and with the exercises and reflections built in - it is more like a thought provoking leadership manual. It has actually taken me a few months to read the whole book and complete the exercises - some I found relatively straight forward - others much harder - we often do not stop to think about our purpose for example - but thinking about the deeper stuff is good!
And then Lead! then goes on to say (more or less) - what are you going to do to lead in this world? what is stopping you, how can you overcome these barriers?
There are also inspirational examples from some brilliant leaders who Barry has encountered.
Reading this book has come at a really important time for me in my career and I want to thank Barry for the support the book has provided.
It is super accessible -there is no jargon, you do not need to work in business or anything - in fact examples are drawn from a school and NGOs. There is a lot in here - great value for money.
If you like Barry's style - you can also join the Lead! Community Facebook group and listen to his Leadership Reflections podcasts - both of which I also recommend.
I highly recommend buying this book, reading it, writing in it, learning as you read it, sharing its content, enjoying it and putting it into practice.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2023Being fortunate enough to have had the pleasure of attending a series of leadership development workshops delivered by Barry Dore some years ago, I have first hand experience of the impact his passion for inspiring leaders to realise their own potential. This book follows on from his first leadership book 'Lead like Mary' ( also highly recommended!) and is written is a style that is so easy to follow and digest - almost as if Barry is there, delivering his insight directly as you sit and read. The book includes case studies and personal accounts/reflections from Barry. With the World in such turmoil and seemingly lurching from one crisis to another, authentic leaders will do their bit in leading us to less troubled waters. This doesn't have to be on the World stage - we all have our part to play, no matter how big or small that may be. Barry will open your eyes to all manner of possibilities, enabling you to develop as a leader and
do your bit, at whatever level you aim for. My tip? buy it, read it, share it - you won't be disappointed!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2023The world feels pretty chaotic at the moment with an ever urgent need for leaders and significant change. This book is a must read for anyone who wants to feel empowered, with step by step chapters to become more efficient and focused to lead this change. It has and will continue to help support me in my work life and beyond.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2023Barry’s latest book is the best yet - reminders of Lead like Mary and then real life examples that inspire and show what incredible things are possible. Barry’s books always reset me - bringing me back to what’s most important. An absolute must read for anyone, at every stage of life or career.

This is a real insight into authentic leadership and how to put this into practice on a daily basis. A must read for all leaders no matter what your experience is.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2023I wasn’t sure how Barry Dore could top the advice and direction that his first book Lead Like Mary gave on authentic leadership and the empowering message that anyone can be a leader… but he bloomin well has! You can’t often say a non-fiction is a page turner but this book will resonate so strongly with anyone trying to lead a team or project or community group right now in todays chaotic environment that you just can’t put it down until you have consumed it! Thank you Barry!
