Weber provides a solid road map and the book feels like you are taking the scenic route - so pleasing to look at and read.
Liz Weber, known as the Dragon Lady of Leadership Accountability, shared the following quote in her new book: Something Needs to Change Around Here, The Five Stages to Leveraging Your Leadership: "Being a manager or a leader is a privilege. It's an honor to have others respect your abilities enough to allow you to lead them. It's an honor to have others trust you to guide them and support them as you work together." Interesting quote, but even more, that's an amazing concept. Ask yourself, how many managers and leaders behave in such a way that demonstrates their understanding of the concept that their leadership position is a privilege?
