GLOBAL CEO ANDRÉ LACROIX INVITES EXISTING AND FUTURE LEADERS TO STOP AND THINK IN NEW BOOK - LEADERSHIP WITH SOUL

"Putting people at the heart of your growth strategy is the only way to unleash the true potential of your business and create sustainable growth for all." André Lacroix

LONDON, Oct. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Chief Executive André Lacroix today launches his book, Leadership with Soul, challenging conventional leadership thinking and inviting existing and future leaders to stop, think and reinvent their approach to become ever-better leaders.

In Leadership with Soul, Lacroix reveals his model for business success, built over more than three decades with world leading organisations such as Ernst & Young, PepsiCo, Burger King, Euro Disney, Inchcape, Reckitt Benckiser and Intertek. Lacroix attributes his success to taking an empathetic, humanist approach to driving sustainable growth and value for all: customers, employees, shareholders, communities and society as a whole.

With a Gallup survey showing that 80% of the global workforce is disengaged, every day 2.8 billion individuals go to their workplace without passion and excitement about their day ahead, a shocking statistic that shows how people truly feel today at work. Lacroix asserts that too many companies are over-managed and under-led, with damaging knock-on effects for employee morale, productivity and performance.

Through a combination of real-life anecdotes and vivid storytelling, Lacroix brings his 10 leadership principles to life in inspiring fashion, providing readers with the tools to think differently about leadership and urging them to trust, empower and galvanise their people, putting them at the heart of their growth strategy, which, Lacroix argues, is the only way to deliver sustainable growth and value for all stakeholders.
