The higher you go, the less likely people are to tell you what is actually getting in your way.

That was my takeaway from HBR Live in London tonight with the formidable Muriel Wilkins and captivating Amy Gallo.

Two outstanding books from two of the world’s best leadership coaches:
📘 Leadership Unblocked by Muriel Wilkins
📘 Getting Along by Amy Gallo

I would recommend Muriel when a leader’s own behavioural patterns are limiting impact e.g. over-involvement, difficulty delegating, excessive control or behaviours that no longer fit the role. Expected outcomes: greater self-awareness; sharper judgement; better delegation; and a stronger shift from operator to Enterprise leader.

I would recommend Amy when the challenge is relational e.g. Executive friction, difficult stakeholders, recurring conflict or eroding trust. Expected outcomes: more productive disagreement; stronger relationships; faster resolution; and less energy lost to friction.

One looks within the leader.
The other looks between leaders.

For Boards and Executive teams, that can translate into better decisions, healthier dynamics and stronger execution.

Don’t just put these books on your Leadership reading list. Put Muriel and Amy on your shortlist of coaches to transform how your Leadership team operates.
