When Holly Ransom was named as one of Australian Financial Review’s ‘100 Most Influential
Women’ in 2012, she was the youngest person to receive the honor. One of the world’s top
keynote speakers, CEO of her own company, and now the author of her first book The Leading Edge,
Holly raises a call to arms for people to step up and turn their restlessness for change into the
reality of a better world.
Holly has spent a decade studying leadership, interviewing incredible luminaries including Barack
Obama, Condoleezza Rice, Sir Richard Branson, and Malcolm Gladwell. The Leading Edge is a
culmination of this research, a number of case studies, Holly's own experience, and personal
anecdotes (such as what you can learn from attempting a triathlon with very little training and why
you should always listen to your grandma). Holly shares a diverse array of actionable leadership
practices from the many changemakers she has worked with and interviewed. Case studies
include the New Zealand All Blacks and why they always win; and how listening to feedback
helped Red Balloon become a top business with over 3.6 million customers.
