Do Lead (share Your Vision. Inspire Others. Achieve The Impossible. )

By (author) Les  McKeown
Short description/annotation:
Real-world leadership is very different from all that the media would have us believe. Forget the dashing hero, true leadership is typically understated. It s the myriad small things that make the big things possible. And, we can all do it.
Description:
In Do Lead, Les McKeown draws on his decades as CEO and senior advisor to demolish the myths around modern-day leadership and provide new tools for the job. You ll discover that effective leadership is goal- not people-oriented. It s about the person with the right skills stepping forward. Find out: your natural leadership style; the essential toolkit and mindset; how to improve group dynamics and foster inclusivity; and strategies for dealing with setbacks and failures. With scenarios from a range of industries, simple exercises and proven leadership techniques, Do Lead is an empowering guide to becoming a confident, respected and inspiring leader no matter what your position.
Review quote:
A refreshing take on what real leadership is all about. It s not heroics or headlines, it s about achieving results in the here and now. Do Lead is short, to the point, and not to be missed. Rita Gunther McGrath, professor and author
