“Through the CRAFT Leadership book, Beáta provides an up-to-date overview of the most important leadership qualities and their values. It helps us identify our best advantage and strengthens us as a conscious leader. This is how it serves continuous renewal and learning in this period full of changes. In the book, she has well combined the leadership experiences gleaned from the interviews and her own views, so that she simultaneously revives familiar situations and guides the innovative ideas of practicing leaders.”

“CRAFT Leadership highlights the many challenges leaders are juggling today and the critical qualities needed to stay relevant and ahead. The book is filled with practical exercises and reflection points that force you to pause, evaluate and consider your personal development areas. I highly recommend CRAFT leadership – it is perfect for those working on improving their own leadership skills and those with a passion for developing leaders around them. Congrats Beáta Kalamár, I am grateful for your impact on my journey.”

“The Covid pandemic may have been behind us, and we will even be arguing a lot more about which Leadership Qualities were most needed in those times. It could have been Focus or perhaps Resilience. Every leader had to use all the leadership and management tools very skilfully to be sure. The stormy sea really showed how much the ship’s captain was in charge of the tasks, but of course, the ship’s condition was also revealed. Beáta’s book is an essential work that should be read in-depth and flipped back and forth. It is worth immersing yourself in the questions to have an accurate picture of your own and your organisation’s areas for development. From time to time, we need to stop and deal with the development of ourselves and our company to bring about the growth that has been coveted so often. The book is an excellent guide for both senior and less experienced leaders.“

“In today’s rapidly changing and unpredictable business world, completely different leadership skills are required for senior executives and the companies they represent to remain productive in the long run. Future-creating, growth-oriented, and people-centered strategic approaches are increasingly becoming the key to success, coupled with even much higher leadership awareness. There are few really conscious leaders these days, who are not only aware but consciously able to transform themselves and unleash the maximum potential of themselves and their people. The CRAFT Leadership book and the contained leadership attributes provide a guide for both novice and experienced leaders to help them find their real selves and become conscious leaders who are able to think and lead at a strategic level. They “anchor” the leader. This book serves as a point of reference for the direction and means by which you can navigate yourself as a leader, and even as an individual, based on your own deep inner purpose, established personality, and gained experience. All this is guaranteed by the writer, Beáta Kalamár, and her many years of professional experience.“

“The mission and role of senior executives are undergoing a radical transformation compared to previous decades. In today’s world, where complexity, unpredictability, anxiety, and ambiguity dominate, well-established and entrenched leadership approaches, methods, and styles no longer lead to sustainable business successes. Today’s leaders with yesterday’s knowledge and skills will not be able to solve tomorrow’s challenges and problems. However, there is no treading path to new directions, which often leads to confusion and insecurity among them. In this situation, Beáta Kalamár’s book CRAFT Leadership offers a secure grip in which she supports her readers to become future-proof leaders through the practical development of 5 basic leadership qualities. Beáta’s decades of experience in developing and transforming leaders is a clear guarantee for anyone who wants to have a significant impact on their company’s external and internal stakeholders in the future.“

“I am in the fortunate position of being able to accompany from the very first moment the birth of the book, Beáta’s development as an author, and the evolvement and complete clarification of the leadership development methodology presented in the book. The past period has been full of excitement and countless ups and downs, but the result is a book that should not be missed by any leader, regardless of sector or company size. In the book, all elements of the author’s own leadership development methodology start with a literature-based foundation and are complemented by the interviews with 55 leaders working in different sectors and different company sizes, which confirm and support the content. CRAFT Leadership is a handbook that, in addition to theoretical foundations and the appearance of individual leadership qualities in practice, includes exercises and practical guides that enable leaders to review their own leadership qualities. The book faithfully reflects Beáta’s personality, professional experience, and commitment to the leadership profession, which makes the reader feel as if she is there to support and guide him/her through his/her development.“
