First time leaders often struggle to understand why they should try to lead and not simply manage. They are often uncertain whether they have what it takes to lead effectively. In fact, they can be overwhelmed by the challenge of leadership.
Ready To Lead? demystifies leadership and offers readers practical advice to help them as they first begin to think and then act like a successful leader. This book focuses on leading, not managing as the core theme, but applies this to the more junior management levels within organizations. It translates a complex topic into an easy to follow guide, which avoids a sound-bite approach to leadership development and incorporates detailed discussions of how to do it in practice.
Ready to Lead? supports the reader continuously, through the provision of practical examples, exercises and clear action steps where appropriate, culminating in an end of book personal action plan. First time leaders face the greatest leadership challenges on a day to day basis. This book helps them to build their capabilities and confidence so that they can meet those challenges effectively. |
‘Practical, enormously helpful and wonderfully well organized!! The self assessment exercises alone are an important linkage to effective leadership. Enda Larkin has added a valuable, practical work to the expanding literature surrounding the topic of leadership. Ready to Lead? provides an effective guide to help maximize the reader’s individual potential as a leader at all levels within any type of organization.’ James B. Hayes, Chairman of the Board Ashworth, Inc. and Retired Publisher FORTUNE Magazine |
