7 My Notes on Leadership and Life - Heyneke Meyer

My coaching journey has been rewarding, but Ive never taken the road of least resistance. Ive had more adversaries than supporters in my life. In my career as head coach, I have come to believe in seven key principles of leadership that kept the ship on course in calm and stormy seas. These have led me into head-on confrontations with individuals, who doubted my methods and values, but for almost three decades, these seven principles have always served my teams well.

This book is not about me. I dont enjoy the limelight or talking about myself. This book is about the seven universal principles of leadership and life that I have been fortunate enough to experience along my own journey. If I achieve nothing else in life, these are the seven principles I would like to instil in my two sons. As it has done for me, 7 My Notes on Leadership and Life, will serve as a map and compass for anyone seeking hope, direction and fulfilment in roles of leadership, be they corporate executives, SME business owners, public servants, teachers, coaches.
