Leadership isn't what you think it is.
First, leadership and authority are two different things. That means
that anyone can lead, and leadership starts with you and must engage
others. Leadership is mobilizing people to make progress on complex
challenges. Helping, motivating and inspiring people to change is what
leadership is about. Because when everyone leads, we untap the full
potential to solve the toughest challenges.
In Your Leadership Edge, Ed O'Malley and Amanda Cebula provide a
practical, comprehensive guide designed to help you hone the behaviors,
attitudes and mindset necessary to create lasting impact for yourself,
your organization and your community. The book describes four
competences--Diagnose Situation, Manage Self, Energize Others, and
Intervene Skillfully--and dives deeply into each one with a list of
skills and tactics that can help you lead anytime, anywhere.
