HOST LEADERSHIP The Model Behind the Metaphor

Host Leaders utilise six distinct roles: Initiator, Inviter, Space Creator, Gatekeeper, Connector, and Co-participator to establish a leadership framework based on the host and guest metaphor.

This e-book explores how these six roles are strategically applied across four leadership positions: In the Spotlight, With the Guests, In the Gallery, and In the Kitchen. The reader will learn how to identify which role and position to adopt, depending on the situation and the team's needs. This method aims to cultivate environments that foster collaboration, innovation, and shared purpose, ultimately leading to collective success and fulfilment. This e-book is ideal for anyone looking to improve their leadership skills in a variety of contexts, including management, team development, organisational development, and more.

This e-book is a 40-page guide to the Host Leadership model, a modern (yet ancient) approach to leading and managing teams in complex environments. It is a great companion to our free Host Roles Quiz, the comprehensive Host Roles Self-assessment ($67.00 including 24-page personal report) and our 90-minute online course, Introduction to Host Leadership: Leading in Complexity ($47.00)
