The Leader with Seven Faces by Leandro Herrero is a novel book on leadership with emphasis on what to practice to become a leader or to improve your own leadership skills. It maps, explores and develops the seven faces of any leader: what you say (language, meaning and intention), where you go (maps, destinations and journeys), what you build (spaces, 'homes' and legacy), what you care about (values, 'the system' and non-negotiable), how you do it (drivers, styles and structures), what you are (awareness, responsibility and identity) and what you do (role models, change and practice of leadership itself).
