So, You Think You Can Lead?
A Guide to Developing Your Leadership Authority and Potential
Imagine having the skills, competence, and awareness to lead any employee to greater productivity, alignment of expectations and followership!!
What This Book Explores
Most leaders are led to believe they should be able to just show up and lead. Despite all the research that leaders are developed and not born, few leaders actually look at leading as a profession that requires them to train, gain experience in, and mastery in order to be effective.
This book helps you discover what it takes to truly develop as a leader. Follow the step-by-step approach, based on the 6 Pillars of Leading with Authority framework, that shows how to build the skills needed to lead people as well as how to establish authority and lead performance.
Authority is not a dirty word….
It’s never been more challenging or more frustrating to be a leader than it is today. By reading this book, you will discover the truth about how changing beliefs and a lack of development is leaving leaders feeling powerless to lead (and how it’s NOT the fault of the employees).
The book explains what leading with consciousness, knowledge and authority looks like. It shows the importance of establishing and maintaining leadership authority, and each of the skills and competencies that a leader must master in order to effectively navigate the complexities of leading people through the stages of employee development.
