Does your organisation Outperform the Rest?
Inspirational Leaders are critical to Outperformance
Outperforming organisations are ones which demonstrate that the processes of empowered employees, distributed responsibility and freedom to challenge the status quo deliver better financial results, higher stakeholder satisfaction and greater innovation. Inspirational leaders are critical to outperformance.
Leadership development is an area of personal learning and growth that probably has more written about it than any other aspect of business management.
Why is it, therefore, that there is a serious lack of the practical application of leadership concepts and theories? We believe that this is because there is much head knowledge about the subject of business leadership, but how to apply this knowledge is often sadly missing.
Becoming an Inspirational Leader is an uphill climb
Practical Leadership will help you wherever you are on your leadership climb.
PRACTICAL Leadership is designed to help you to find your way through the nine key processes that will develop you into an inspirational leader. The nine processes to become recognised as an inspirational leader are:
- P – Principles of leadership
- R – Results based performance
- A – Accountability
- C – Character
- T – Teambuilding and collaborative working
- I – Imagination and innovation
- C – Change management
- A – Application of learning
- L – Learning sustainability
Becoming an inspirational leader is an uphill climb. ‘PRACTICAL Leadership’ will help you to start, continue or complete that climb, wherever you are on your leadership journey.
A multitude of books have been written on leadership. Why read this one? It is a book on leadership forged in the fires of war, business, and the birth and growth of a life-transforming church. I am grateful to say I have been the beneficiary of the principles and insights expressed in the pages of this book. No matter where you exercise leadership, whether it be in the life of a business, your community, your family, a local church or simply in the business of leading your own personal life choices, this book will help you. May you find these pages to be as helpful as they have been to me.
Practical Leadership is more than just another Book

In this digital era, we are all in danger of being overwhelmed by the vast amount of data and information available. This book is intended to fulfil the call ‘to make things as simple as possible but no simpler’ (Einstein).
Hal Oxley, working from his experience in four areas of his life, draws the conclusion that there is much head knowledge about the subject of leadership, but how to apply this knowledge is often sadly missing. Hal’s experience will show you that when you apply each one of the nine key processes of leadership you will understand how to achieve the following benefits:
- Higher productivity from every one you work with.
- Increased operational efficiency and effectiveness.
- Improved motivation and morale from team members.
- Savings in costs and expenditure.

Within this guide you will be presented with the experienced knowledge on how to successfully deliver leadership in business, whether the business is small or large. This book provides the organisational leadership that is so desperately needed for any leader, company or organisation to succeed. At perhaps no time in our history have we so needed to be reminded of the time honoured principles of leadership. Hal Oxley writes from experience across a range of careers, but importantly including leadership’s most defining crucible, the battlefield. He lays out the fundamental principles of functional leadership in a way that makes this book an essential and easy reference for busy leaders, and one for which the authority of the author is writ splendid in his reputation as leadership’s exemplar.
Will you become one of the world's Inspirational Leaders?
Work through this remarkably Practical Guide
I have been impressed by both the ‘down to earth’ nature and also the depth and breadth of the aspects of leadership that ‘Practical Leadership’ contains. The ‘Time for reflection’ is most helpful and challenging. The conclusion of ‘Learning Sustainability’ will surely mean that the book will not be merely ‘put on the bookshelf’ but will serve as a reference book to be read again and again.
