Leadership DNA: Shaping A Thriving Business Culture is a business anthology, edited by Alinka Rutkowska, that delivers impeccable lessons on leadership, combining the unique experiences of thought leaders with time-tested lessons on leadership. You’ll find insights from authors across different industries. The book explains important topics such as authentic leadership, the importance of grit, the place of ethical decision-making, and the continuous development of leadership skills. The book highlights the fact that leaders are not born but created through learning, adaptability, and a process of self-awareness. It teaches readers how to build trust, promote a culture of inclusivity, and drive collective growth in their organizations.

What got me fully engaged were the stories shared by the authors and how well the ideas were articulated. The voices are unique and distinct, and while the experiences shared are different, there is a common theme of leadership that is approached from the different perspectives, each as spot-on as the next. Alinka Rutkowska explores transformational leadership as a catalyst for change and discusses the power of vision, inspiration, and adaptability with clarity. Darius Ross tells his story and shares the lessons he learned from his struggles. His work illustrates that grit and strategic thinking are two ingredients that build leadership skills. Fred Zirkle underlines the significance of values-driven leadership, stressing integrity, collaboration, and the impact of organizational culture rooted in core principles. Leadership DNA is a well-crafted anthology with the wisdom that aspiring leaders need. The writing is crisp, and the concepts are conveyed in accessible language.
