REINVENTING THE LEADER

Reinventing the Leader is built on the rich experiences and remarkable introspections from two exceptional global business and thought leaders . . . It provides unique insights on how to lead change by transforming yourself to better serve all your stakeholders. It is truly one of the most inspiring leadership books I have read over the last 10 years.

Reinventing the Leader is an inspiring account of the magic that can happen when a leader realizes they must undergo their own transformation in order to transform their organization. Entertaining and relevant, the book includes personal insights from both authors while showing the pivotal role that trust plays in the leader/coach relationship. Gui and Carlos have written an honest, vulnerable, and praiseworthy book that should be in the library of every leader and coach.

You'll find no business jargon or easy aha moments in this remarkable book. Rather, it offers the at-times painfully honest story of a highly visible CEO with sufficient humility to realize that he needed to change before he could transform his company . . . Written with welcome clarity, this business narrative grabs you from the first page. Highly recommended for leaders and for coaches.

Reinventing the Leader is among the most compelling business leadership books I've read in a long time. It's exceedingly rare when both the dynamic CEO of a huge, iconic retail business and his seasoned executive coach tell allin their own unvarnished words, and in the words of executives around themabout the dreams and fears they shared before, during, and after a major transformation of the business.

In his account of the digital transformation of Walmart Mexico and Central America (Walmex), Gui Loureiro has provided a textbook on leading through change. He not only reinvented the business while also delivering results, but he also reinvented himself as a new kind of leader . . . You won't finish this book without sharing my enormous respect for what he accomplishedand how.

Reinventing the Leader is a master class in leader growth and learning. It's a unique, behind-the-scenes look into one leader's efforts to transform a business and a coach's reflections on leader reinvention . . . In the process, we see how changing organizations also means changing oneself.
