Synopsis

These Lessons Will Put You On The Path to Success!When I first earned a promotion to a leadership position, I received no training to develop my skills. The unwritten rule seemed to be that if you received the promotion you must know what you are doing, so now go do it! Sound familiar? Unfortunately, I have talked with thousands of newly promoted leaders over the years that have had the same experience. If you have been thrust into a position of leadership with little or no training, this book contains the lessons you need to jump-start your new role and get you on the path to become the leader you want to be. If you are serious about making the move from “manager to leader”, or if your job is to help others make the move, this book is for you! Your lessons will include:•Key behaviors that will cause you to be immediately recognized as an effective leader.•The power of perception: how to look, think and act like a leader.•The truths of our human connection and how to use these truths to strengthen your team.•Building an extraordinary team through selection, orientation, training and development.•Simple leader-led processes to solve problems, create action plans, and develop team members.•Dealing with change, preparing for the unexpected, resources for the future and much more!
