Synopsis
First, Lead Yourself not only tackles the biggest problem in leadership development that holds millions of people back from achieving their full potential, it weaves together the essential ingredients required for your own success as a leader. This book is full of practical tools, exercises and insightful stories that will accelerate you along the path towards achieving your leadership goals.
Backed by research into personal change, high performance, resilience, and advanced communication skills, First, Lead Yourself is the perfect guide for anyone looking to step up and lead.
First, Lead Yourself is not your ordinary leadership book. It doesn’t tell you how to run a team, set a strategy, or lead a business. What it does do is to give you the tools you need to become the type of person that people will naturally follow, a leader that gives off an air of genuine authenticity.
Focusing on the key aspects of self-leadership, the core topics in this book are:
– Developing self-awareness
– Building resilience
– Advanced communication skills
'This book is amazing, I had so many ‘aha’ moments. Although not really a self-help book, I’ve learnt so much about myself from Cillín, I’m now more comfortable being me and more aware of my personal rules, I didn’t realise I had so many! The wisdom Cillín shares has enabled me to become more resilient, a better leader, and most importantly, a better parent.' ~ Luke Johnstone. Director, Double-O Consulting.
‘Working with Cillín as my coach over the last few years he has taught me many, many tips, tricks, techniques, and strategies to inspect and learn about myself so that I can grow in my own leadership journey. This book is an amazing toolkit collection of those teachings and I for one am extremely grateful to have it all pulled together in one place. I can see that my own copy of this book is going to be well thumbed through and dog-eared before too long. Cillín’s story telling and real life examples make this book memorable and, most of all, enjoyable to read.’ ~ June McClintock. Manager Products, FMG.
‘Cillín’s book is not only beautifully written, it is full of thoughtful and useful advice – the sort of advice that works in the real world. Recommended.’ ~ Clarke Ching. Author of Rolling Rocks Downhill and The Bottleneck Rules, Speaker, Coach.
