Book: ‘DNA of Leadership (in Dutch)

There is no universal model for creating the ideal leader. A leader is and remains in the making. This book invites the reader to (continue to) develop his or her own leadership based on the personal experiences of a diverse range of leaders.

DNA of leadership offers a sea of inspiration in 13 rich portraits for discovering and developing your individual leadership.

Frank Vogt formulates a striking vision of leadership based on his own experiences and those of 13 contemporary leaders.

DNA of Leadership is a special book that offers a wide range of insights and experiences. Written personally and accessibly and therefore easy to read. It does not offer a simplified checklist to success nor a complex theory that never touches practice. The personal experiences and wisdom distilled from them of the portrayed encourage you as a reader to self-reflect and stimulate you to think about your own further personal development.

DNA of leadership makes you think about your own leadership style and 'forces' you to reflect on your own development as a leader in an inspiring way. The book provides insight into their journey and their view of the world around them through the eyes of a number of very effective (well-known) leaders. This book encourages you to think, to stay curious, but above all to take the next step in your own personal development.

The core of leadership in the 21st century is to periodically recalibrate and refine one's own leadership. This book does that and ensures that you are constantly a little 'uncomfortable' with your own leadership. It can really be better without expecting it to be perfect now.

Beautiful image of contemporary leadership with which organizations, aware of their own identity and their environment, can successfully develop.

Learning, inspiring and reflecting, my 3 keywords for 'responsible' leadership. This book provides the substantiation for all three. Allow yourself the curiosity to read it!

DNA of leadership is easy to read and contains useful and practical leadership experiences from an interesting and diverse group of leaders. My favorite quote comes from his interview with Heleen Lameijer: 'Leadership exists by the grace of followership'. Frank Vogt frames these and other lessons and provides five constants that distinguish this group of leaders from others. Recommended!

"DNA of Leadership makes you think about your own leadership style and "forces" you in an inspiring way to reflect on your own development as a leader."

DNA of leadership shows that we are all unique and that if you are aware of that, you can (further) develop into an effective, authentic leader. Frank Vogt brings together a foundation of theory with thirteen diverse, inspiring and candid stories from unique leaders. This book reads so well that I advise everyone to consciously pause to compare the wise advice, questions and examples with your own DNA and experiences. Compare and enrich yourself into an effective, authentic leader. We urgently need it now!

Leadership is about trust, perseverance, context and self-awareness. Frank Vogt has been on the front line of top companies for years and can talk about it like no other.
