Leading Like a Human: Building High-Functioning Teams by Putting People First is a practical, real-world guide to leadership built from more than 30 years of experience leading and transforming teams. Robert Swannie explores how trust, empathy, psychological safety, honest feedback, and genuine human connection create environments where people can do their best work. Through personal stories, lessons learned, and practical insights, Leading Like a Human challenges leaders to look beyond titles, processes, and metrics, and remember the human behind the role. You don’t have to be a perfect leader. You just have to show up, stay curious, and lead like a human.
