Leadership' and 'Action Centred Leadership' from the course he established (with the Industry
Society) of the same name. He has also written a number of books in the Effective Management
series. John Adair has been listed among the top 40 people in the world who have contributed

Effective Leadership is aimed at the individual who is serious about improving his or her own
leadership development capabilities. The author aims to stimulate an awareness of leadership,
provide an understanding of the principles and functions of leadership, and guide the reader
through the methods used to develop leadership skills.
The book is in three parts: understanding leadership, developing your leadership capabilities,
and growing as a leader. Within each chapter are exercises designed to stimulate thought and
actions. At the end of each chapter there is a checklist which enables readers to focus on the
issues covered in the text and relate their own experiences to the learning. Throughout the book
there are numerous quotes, stories and case studies from leaders in world history, largely from
the military context. These colourful and powerful insights into the thoughts and actions of real
leaders are successful in capturing the essence of the qualities required in and of a leader.
