Synopsis

Leadership tends to remain an undefined quality to most managers. We see people with leadership abilities and often refer to them as having leadership skills. Yet, in most personnel meetings, leadership is mostly discussed as a singular skill that one either possesses or not. In the process of selecting personnel for advancement in management, the most common approach is to cherry-pick those who look and act most like us, or someone who matches our paradigm of a leader. This book attempts to break down leadership into teachable skill sets that can be practiced and honed to improve your leadership abilities. It is designed in individual elements to allow you to focus on one area at a time for more effective learning.

About this title

About the Author

In 2000, Johnny began to reflect on his experience as a supervisor and manager. He remembered countless personnel evaluations and development meetings in which personnel were evaluated to determine if they possessed leadership skills. Even though the term "skills" was used in discussions, it was still treated as a singular skill that one did or didn't have. Johnny began identifying and enumerating the individual skills that comprised leadership in industry today. He initially used this model to mentor young supervisors and managers before retirement in 2005. His hope is to share this model of leadership to help young managers get an early start honing leadership skills. After a career in the petrochemical industry, Johnny moved back to the San Antonio area with his wife, Janett.
