Description
**Shortlisted for the The Leadership Book of the Year Award 2024**
You may think it’s small stuff, but it has a big impact.
Great leadership is about people: connecting with them and inspiring them to perform at their best. But leaders under pressure tend to focus on tasks, to-do lists and deadlines.
The result? Teams are disengaged, performance and productivity are below expectations, morale is low.
Building relationships isn’t a one-off task. It happens through every single interaction, and we aren’t paying those everyday moments nearly enough attention.
Do Sweat the Small Stuff challenges you to notice and own the profound impact of your micro-interactions. To explore how your speaking and listening, your habits and your behaviours affect those around you, whether you realize or not. Finally, it reveals how to reinvent those interactions to reshape how you show up as a leader and build trusting, productive relationships with your people.
Sarah Langslow distils more than two decades of hands-on experience building effective leadership skills and behaviours in the corporate and sporting world and as an executive coach into an actionable plan for sustainable transformation.
Advance Praise
I’m a sucker for books like this! Packed full of practical examples, in Do Sweat the Small Stuff Sarah Langslow has done the hard work of breaking down how to translate our good intentions into the words we actually say to make those intentions real and tangible. - L. David Marquet, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around and Leadership is Language
Do Sweat the Small Stuff is a great active read (keep a pen handy)! The book offers a valuable lens through which to observe your own leadership, and a practical set of exercises and suggestions to intentionally develop your influence and effectiveness as a leader by focussing on the acute impact of your so-called micro-interactions. - David Singleton, CTO of Stripe
Micro-interactions are vital in building and maintaining relationships, yet they are so rarely discussed. Do Sweat the Small Stuff raises your awareness as a leader of how important all these are for every person we lead and gives you tools to help you reflect and improve your leadership effectiveness.
We owe it to the people we lead to use our leadership skills to grow every relationship, and for this to happen we need to understand these micro-interactions and use them to the best of our ability. I really think the rewards will be worth it. - Stuart Lancaster, Head Coach at Racing 92 Rugby, former Head Coach at England Rugby
