Inspire, Discover, Transform - 30 years of The Windsor Way
A Limited-Edition Book by Alan Coppin OBE
Offering a masterclass in leadership across all sectors, Inspire, Discover, Transform captures the impact of those who have participated in our experiential development programmes at Windsor over the past 30 years, and are some of the most influential leaders in society today.
Having collaborated with 50 people at the top of their game, Windsor Leadership Fellow Alan Coppin OBE has expertly collated an anthology of compelling leadership anecdotes, designed to inspire readers to dig deeper and discover more about becoming exceptional leaders themselves.
Inspired to make a difference
Inspired by participating in programmes at Windsor, contributors, have gone on to shape and influence their organisations and wider society; in some instances transforming the sectors in which they operate.
In this book they peel back the layers of complexity involved in being an authentic leader, exploring the common values that have shaped them into the people they have become. As our Patron, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence says, ‘They have bared their souls in commendably honest fashion’ – providing rare insights into their hearts and minds.
Exploring the hidden heart of the leader
Five surprisingly probing questions are at the heart of each contribution, providing fascinatingly open and honest perspectives:
- What is the best advice you ever received in your career?
- In four words, what makes a great leader?
- What would you have advised yourself as a leader 30 years ago?
- What is your favourite leadership quote?
- What makes you laugh?
Designed with a lifetime of learning in mind, what greater gift to give than the opportunity to inspire others and make a difference?
Timeless Resource
At a time when the complex challenges and expectations of truly effective leadership are under the spotlight, we hope and believe that this book will serve as a timeless resource, not only for the Windsor Leadership alumni community but for all leaders. Particularly those who want to use their position of influence to positively impact society both today and in the future.
All profits from the sale of the book, including author and editor royalties, are being donated to Windsor Leadership Trust’s Bursary Fund. Timed to coincide with our 30th anniversary celebrations in 2025, the book is raising funds to enable leaders across the faith and not-for-profit sectors to experience further inspiration and transformation by attending our programmes and continuing professional development events.
