What can you learn from the RAF to transform your own leadership skills? 
The RAF is a well-oiled machine that gets the job done. Much of that is down to its unique leadership style which doesn't see leadership as a senior position but instead something that should be distributed to all. Rise Above unpicks the RAF leadership model to provide a fresh perspective on how to: 
  • Deploy the shared leadership style to get the best results for your team. 
  • Improve your personal leadership competences to guide your own development and enhance your skills as a leader. 
  • Embrace contemporary opportunities such as diversity and inclusion, technology, innovation and adaptability, which have long been a reality of the RAF. 
John Jupp combines practical strategies with inspirational real-life examples from over 100 years of the RAF to illustrate how leadership works so you are better equipped to lead effectively. 
Whatever your level, you can lead.
