'If leadership is measured in moments, this book shows you how to make those moments matter. The Shiftcode Model is both simple and profound, giving leaders a reliable compass for uncertain times. Preetie Boler's insights will help you shift from reactivity to intentionality with lasting impact.' - Emeritus Professor Gary Martin FAIM, CEO, Australian Institute of Management Western Australia 'What I love about this book is that it doesn't just talk about leadership - it makes you reflect on your own behaviours and gives you practical steps to shift them. The practices have already helped me strengthen my effectiveness as a leader.' - John Pirie, Head of FM, Western Australia and Resources, Programmed by Persol 'One of the most valuable takeaways for me was reframing leadership from "control" to "influence." This simple yet powerful shift creates more flexibility and resilience in how leaders navigate complex situations. The book doesn't just challenge old paradigms - it equips leaders with the mindset and tools to thrive in today's dynamic workplace.' - Rob Thomson, General Manager, Government Sector, Programmed Facility Management
