You Don’t Need an MBA
By Alicia McKay
‘In this moment, we need leaders more than ever. But, as Alicia McKay helps us understand, waiting two years for a piece of paper isn’t required to make a difference. Start where you are and start now.’
SETH GODIN, author of This is Marketing
You Don’t Need an MBA demystifies the skills leaders of the future need and epitomises the brave new world of leadership; united leadership that focuses on real outcomes, not quick-fixes.
The ability of next-generation leaders to cope with constant change has never been more important or more poorly understood. The world keeps throwing curveballs, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. It’s not that we don’t know we need to change. The gap isn’t knowing, it’s doing. The leaders of tomorrow need to change today.
Alicia McKay draws on the latest global thinking on leadership and outlines a way forward, in plain English and with actionable steps. Her new book ‘You Don’t Need an MBA’ will be in bookstores in May of 2021.
‘Credit belongs to Alicia because she is actually in the arena. Read this book if you want a down-to-earth, what-really-works guide to leadership.’
Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism
‘Accessible, quirky, moving, funny and, above all, practical and applicable. If you are in leadership, or aspire to be, this book should be at the very top of your list of recommended reading.’
Peter Cook, author of Implement!
‘Alicia has deconstructed leadership to the point where it’s easy to understand and action. Managers no longer have the excuse of not knowing how to step up – instead, they now have a choice. Read this book and grow… or don’t, and become slowly irrelevant. It should be an easy choice to make.’
Colin D. Ellis, author of Culture Hacks
