Through these conversations, Jez Rose provides further details into the nuances of behavior and its profound implications for leadership effectiveness. He strongly states, "I don't think managers exist, and we should stop using the title ‘manager' because the language we use directly influences our behavior. The definition of manage is to cope, which isn't exactly the most inspirational start." He states that by simply reframing our language and mindset, leaders are able to create the behavior changes they need for themselves and those in their charge. 

Furthermore, Jez explores the essential skills that differentiate successful leaders from their counterparts. Drawing on his extensive experience working with leaders across industries, he identifies key competencies such as conflict resolution and emotional intelligence as critical pillars of effective leadership. This Behavior Insight Advisor equips readers, especially in leadership roles, with the tools they need to thrive in today's fast-paced business landscape through illuminating anecdotes and evidence-based insights.

As a seasoned practitioner in the field of behavior change management, Jez brings a wealth of firsthand experience to bear in his book. Reflecting on his own journey advising senior leadership teams over the past 21 years, he shares candid insights into the triumphs and tribulations encountered along the way. From navigating complex organizational dynamics to driving meaningful behavior change, Jez offers readers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the realities of changing behavior and visionary leadership for the 21st century.

Gone are the days of hierarchical command and control; instead, Jez insists that leaders lead from the heart, to inspire and empower their teams to achieve their full potential. It is a vision rooted in a profound understanding of human behavior and a deep commitment to fostering meaningful change.
