Too many leaders wrestle with fractured teams, high staff turnover, and the nagging sense that they are not fully equipped to lead. Whether as a new director fighting imposter syndrome, a business owner desperate to scale without burning out, or an experienced executive seeking a proven framework, the truth is simple: great businesses are built by great senior leadership teams.

In Lighting the Blue Touch Paper executive coach and consultant Les Murray shares a clear, step-by-step roadmap for creating, empowering, and sustaining high-performance teams. Drawing on decades of experience where he has partnered with growth-oriented CEOs and their senior leaders, Les reveals what it really takes to translate vision into measurable success.

Inside, you will discover how to:

- Align your senior team around a shared vision, goals, and values.

- Recruit, onboard, and retain the right people in the right roles.
