A revealing, empowering vision of how the law can work better for all of us, from Jolyon Maugham KC, founder of Good Law Project • Our legal system often feels like it only works for the rich and powerful - for those who have the means to use the courts to enforce their will and defend their interests.

It has brought a series of landmark cases against a dishonest and increasingly autocratic government and won widespread acclaim in successfully reversing Boris Johnson's unlawful suspension of Parliament.

From those decisive moments in which a difficult decision must be made, to the unguarded moments when our emotional, authentic selves manifest themselves for better or worse - this book explores the actions and outlooks that define leadership. The Intentional Leader clarifies that openness is key to genuinely effective leadership - as Emerson wrote, "The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is because man is disunited with himself." • We have an overabundance of 'leaders' in our world today. But those who truly stand out are the ones who lead in a way that inspires employees to rally behind the organizational cause - whether that be developing cutting-edge technologies or selling fast food. This is Intentional Leadership, which Tim Hebert defines as clear, aligned, compassionate guidance delivered with a strong core ideology
