Leading With Courage: Nine Critical Behaviors of Effective Leaders and Managers

More about the book

Leading With Courage offers pragmatic, practical and proven advice for leaders and managers who want to make a bigger impact, sooner. The author's insights are drawn from the interviews he conducted with 40 CEOs and his four decades of experience in five industries as a senior finance and operations executive in the U.S. and Europe. At the core of "Leading With Courage" are nine blind spots that effective leaders and managers are aware of. Those who come in with the answer, stick with under-performers too long, and try doing everything themselves (three of the nine blind spots) could be among the 40% to 50% of leaders who fail, are fired, or quit within 18 months of starting their leadership role. The book includes a link to a self-assessment that will help readers identify which of the nine blind spots they may have to be on alert for. Lee focuses on helping individuals and teams more clearly understand themselves and how others see them. Being more aware of their leadership blind spots empowers clients to realize the possibilities of peace of mind and confidence that come from being a more effective leader
