This book is based on a simple point: leadership roles should be filled by people who deliberately decide that they want to be in them. To that end, Discovering the Leader in You offers a unique system of self-discovery that clearly shows how you can attain the leadership position you want. Robert J. Lee and Sara N. King, who developed this approach from their experience at the widely renowned Center for Creative Leadership, help potential leaders examine development paths in the context of who they are as individuals. They show how you can connect your inner self to the demands of leadership by using a set of questions that will help you take your career in new directions. You'll gain deep insight into what leadership means to you personally as you retain more control over your career choices and, subsequently, achieve more personal success.A Center for Creative Leadership Book.

Discovering the Leader in You offers a planful approach to understanding how aspects of personality, character, vision, home life, values, and skills match with essential leadership activities. This unique system of self–discovery clearly shows what it looks like to fit or not to fit in leadership roles in organizations.
Robert J. Lee and Sara N. King, who developed this approach from their experience at the widely renowned Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina, help leaders and potential leaders examine leadership commitments and development paths in the context of who they are as individuals. They show how to connect the inner self to the demands of leadership by using a set of questions that help (1) clarify the relevant realities and expectations in a leadership role, (2) bring out a personal vision and a leadership vision, (3) base leadership behaviors on personal values, (4) become more authentic in leadership situations, and (5) productively integrate work and personal lives.
Discovering the Leader in You will help all executives––seasoned veterans and those considering leading as a new direction in their careers––to gain more personal insight into what leadership really means to them, to retain more control over their career choices, and consequently to achieve more personal success as leaders.
"In the considerable literature on leadership, this book focuses on something new–how individuals can identify the key attributes of great leadership and link them to their own unique vision, values, and personal strengths. The authors provide a roadmap to self–knowledge that becomes a guide to maximizing effectiveness in the organization and in life."
Evelyn Rodstein, managing director, Leadership Organizational Development, J.P. Morgan
"As we have known since biblical days, no one wants to follow an uncertain trumpet. If you want to be the most persuasive, self–confident, visionary leader that you can be, the tools and techniques in this book will help get you there"
Douglas T. (Tim) Hall, director, Executive Development Roundtable, and professor of organizational behavior, Boston University School of Management
"The perfect book at the perfect time! As leadership has become the critical element in the age of intellectual capital, the pressure to assume a leadership role without reflection or regard for the trade–offs it represents is greater than ever. Thanks to Bob and Sara, mentors and professionals at all ages have a tool to make a conscious choice to accept the challenge and rewards of leadership."
Anita Jensen, vice president, organizationl development, Bristol–Myers Squibb
"You wouldn′t think there was anything more that could be said about leadership–but there is, the most important part in fact: how do you figure out who you are as a leader? Lee and King are wonderful counselors in answering this question. This book is going to be required reading in our executive MBA program."
