Leading an organization is fundamentally different from managing one. While managers focus on efficiency, leaders aim for effectiveness. For those looking to enhance their leadership skills, the first step is learning how to truly lead. Leadership is about self-awareness, articulating a clear vision, building trust among colleagues, and taking purposeful action to unlock your full potential.
This new edition draws on the insights of the world’s most successful leaders, incorporating self-assessments and numerous one-day exercises to build practical skills. It is designed to help individuals become not just better managers, but effective leaders. With over 30 exercises for both individual and group development, this workbook offers a variety of approaches to grow your leadership abilities.
Key topics include: leading for a successful future, understanding the difference between management and leadership, developing and communicating a vision, ethical leadership, and harnessing the power to reach your leadership goals. Warren Bennis, the author of Organizing Genius, On Becoming a Leader, and Leaders, offers invaluable insights throughout.
