Step up, get tough, and commit to your decision to lead
The Leadership Contract provides the manual that leaders around the
world need. With only seven percent of employees feeling confident in
senior leadership, the problem is evident: disappointing, and often
disgraceful leaders. Employees deserve better than that; organizations
need better than that--and this book provides a robust framework for
stepping up and making the decision to lead. This new third edition has
been updated, featuring a new foreword by Adecco CEO Alain Dehaze, new
findings from the Global Leadership Accountability Study, and more
insights to help you chart your own path to build strong leadership
accountability at a personal and organizational level.
Great leadership doesn't happen by accident. It's more than just being
in charge; it's a decision, an obligation and potentially your legacy.
Mediocre is no longer good enough--in today's business climate,
organizations need stellar leadership. If you're not exceptional, step
up or step aside -- this book helps you toughen up and put your
commitment to great leadership in writing for yourself as much as
everyone else.
