Book Description

ISBN-10: 1885228864 | ISBN-13: 978-1885228864 | Publication Date: January 1, 2008 | Edition: 1

Having a leadership position and being a leader are not one in the same. Your position is something you were appointed to...something you became eligible for by being a good performer in the past.

Being a true leader, however, is much different. LEADER is a descriptor...a label that you EARN through specific behaviors. It's based on what you do today, and what you will do tomorrow--not what's printed on your name tag. Simply put, in order to be a leader, you must do the things that leaders do. This book will show you how!

4.0 out of 5 stars Focus on Leadership, February 19, 2008

This review is from: Lead Right (Perfect Paperback)

I really liked this book for several reasons:
1. It is a quick read, jam-packed full of useful reminders
2. Everyone from first-line supervisor to corporate CEO can benefit
3. The included Ethical Action Test needs to be framed and displayed on everyone's wall.
4. The self-assessment is a great tool to get you thinking (or re-thinking!)
5. There are plenty of succinct, practical tips for improving your results.

The important thing to remember is that we can't do it all by ourselves. Leveraged success will come from our ability to work through others and it starts with us, as leaders, setting the tone.
