Quiet Leadership Julian Stodd

When Organisations talk about leadership, they mark out a journey that is 10,000 steps long. Quiet Leadership is about the first three steps.




It's an exploration of leadership in the smallest of things: our mindset, our words and our actions, in every single day. It's not about a grand aspiration, about formal objectives, or big development programmes. It's not about the formal power you have been given, your ability to influence at scale, or the varied ways you exert control. It's not about 'one' way of leading, but rather about a multitude of ways, and specifically about how you find 'your' way.




Quiet Leadership is about the ways we are with each other in every moment, and how those varied 'ways' of being come together to give us

the thing we call culture today. It's a practice that recognises that all cultures have edges, all communities have boundaries, and our impact is felt more in the shadows than in the light that we face. Quiet Leadership is a reflective practice, not to see the version of ourselves that we already know, but, rather, to discover ourselves in how others see us.




Leadership in our reflection; leadership in our shadow. Leadership in our impact, through every action every day.
