About this book
Is leadership a mystery? Do leaders really understand the value, risk, and reality of the leadership brand? Or is leadership an illusion where ignorance is bliss?
The purpose of this book is to unveil the mystery of leadership. Leadership is a risky proposition and not as easy as it seems. In naivety, leaders or those aspiring often are misguided by the perception of the pot of gold at the end of the leadership rainbow. With time, they quickly realize that leadership is costly, has consequences for others, and is riddled with challenges. Thus, what leaders don't know them will harm them and others eventually.
In The Mystery of Leadership (Unlocking the Code to Value, Risk, and Leadership Illusions), readers will learn:
How to find and leverage the leadership voice.
The importance of timing and the value of waiting.
The cost of being a sage and choosing an authentic leadership brand.
The illusion of leadership political capital.
How to assemble the right leadership room, set goals, and identify effective leaders for the optimal team.
The cost of being a leadership watchman.
How to recover from leadership falls and weather leadership storms.
