Authors Scott J. Allen and Mitchell Kusy redefine what we think of as traditional leadership in this tangible book that ascribes flexible yet concrete and proven actions to what can be a very abstract term.
Rather than delving into lengthy exposition and analysis to help you understand what leadership is and how to develop it for yourself, this practical book enables you to design a straightforward system tailored to your team and organizational needs.
Free of complicated theories, The Little Book of Leadership Development focuses on what really works to motivate others, encourage productivity, and equip future leaders. The book delivers streamlined instructions on fifty practical strategies, including:
- modeling behaviors,
- sharing information,
- building accountability,
- stretching teams,
- and providing feedback.
Managers with the ability to self-reflect and a willingness to implement these ideas will see quick improvements--in communication, efficiency, morale, and every other measure. The Little Book of Leadership Development goes straight to the heart of what it takes to be a great leader, so you can spend less time studying skills and more time developing a committed team of emerging leaders.

From the Back Cover
Advance Praise for The Little Book of Leadership Development:
“Never has the need been greater for a handbook on the development of leaders of the future, leaders at every level across the organization. Today, Scott Allen and Mitchell Kusy have responded with The Little Book of Leadership Development. Leaders across the sectors will find the ‘50 Ways’ the indispensable companion on their leadership journey.”— Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO, Leader to Leader Institute, www.leadertoleader.org
“This book is an easy to read, practical guide for the experienced leader and the newly appointed. The 50 tips contain gems of wisdom that can improve any team. It is the new Leadership handbook. Well done!” — Thomas D. Cassady, CPCU, CLU, ChFC, President and CEO, USI Midwest Inc.
“Allen and Kusy offer a little book with some very big ideas about reflective leadership. The advice is crisp and easy to follow. Their collective real-world experience sings out beautifully in this wonderfully practical advice on changing yourself and those you lead.” — Anthony J. Scriffignano, Ph.D., Vice President, Global Data Strategy at Dun & Bradstreet
“There is nothing ‘little’ about this book! I plan on giving it to new leaders and using the LD50 checklist at their next evaluation. My favorites were 18, 21, 38, and 49 . . . great work!”— Agency Field Executive, State Farm
“This pithy book of leadership behaviors will be a valuable resource for those leaders who are seeking to change their behaviors and become more effective. Less on theory and more on practice, Allen and Kusy have captured the essence of effective leadership behaviors.” — Thomas J. Marr, MD, Medical Director, Clinical Relations, HealthPartners
“The leader’s most important job is to develop future leaders. We need resources that are easy to use and understand, but when it comes to leadership, this is not an easy task. Allen and Kusy have accomplished this with The Little Book of Leadership Development. If you are responsible for developing leaders, this book should be dog-eared and always close at hand on your bookshelf.” — Peter Mello, Editor of the WeeklyLeader Blog (www.weeklyleader.net)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
