AN INTRODUCTION FROM THE AUTHOR MATT HOLLSTEIN
I don’t know about you, but I live in two completely different worlds.
And no, I’m not high, delusional or suffering from some kind of personality disorder!
What I mean is, as a full-time project by manager AND a scuba diving instructor, I see the world in two very different ways –
The most obvious being the fact that for part my time I’m on dry land and for the rest I’m mostly underwater, submerged in an incredible world and engaged with an incredible community of everyday people and exceptional professionals.
Now, I’m not here to talk to you today about the how incredible diving is or how breathtaking the underwater world can be – you can go and see Avatar for a taste of that! – or go diving yourself. . .
I’m here to talk to you today about LEGENDARY LEADERSHIP and answer two questions that have been on my mind for many years:
The first is:
What ARE the elements of GOOD LEADERSHIP that make my students feel safe in the hands of a COMPLETE STRANGER when they’re COMPLETELY out of their depth underwater?
The second is:
How do we TRANSFER those underwater leadership elements to the development of effective everyday leadership on land?
This is in a nutshell, is what my book is about.
