Download or read book How to Be a Good Leader written by Terry Cochran and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the human race has evolved, it has been socially dependent on certain members deemed leaders of the group. These particular people always possess characteristics that a group of people could rally around in order to reach their goals. Even in the animal kingdom, wild animals will gather around a dominant animal to lead them. For example, a pride of lions has one king lion that leads the pack and ensures every lion is properly fed and protected. Because the male lion will fight to the death for the top spot, this ensures the king is the strongest and therefore the most able to protect and hunt food for his pride, or group. Of course, in today's civilized world, we don't exactly have to fight to the death to lead a group of people. But, in a manner of speaking, any potential leader does have to fight or compete to obtain a leadership position. Instead of proving strength and power, the candidate will have to display how and why they're the most suitable for the position. Instead of physically lunging at an opponent, the candidate will constantly have to demonstrate professional, motivational, and social skills a cut above the rest. This book will help you to develop all the attributes that define a great leader, and will help you discover how to use those qualities to bring your career and personal life to new heights.

Download or read book The Aspiring Leader s Guide to the Future written by Clay Scroggins and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may not hold a position of leadership or think of yourself as a leader. But if you want to create, change, or impact the world around you—even in a modest way—then you're guided by a leader's impulse and shaped by a leader's principles. You are an aspiring leader. But the fact is that you've come to this role at a time when leadership—like everything else—is rapidly changing...and too many leaders are addressing the problems of today and tomorrow with the style and substance of yesterday's leadership. We need an update. In The Aspiring Leader's Guide to the Future, Clay Scroggins (author of How to Lead When You're Not in Charge) explores nine new principles of leadership that will help leaders adapt to a changing world and work culture, such as: Today's leaders lean into vulnerability. Today's leaders develop relationships primarily around trust. Today's leaders celebrate the successes of others. These may seem like counter-intuitive principles, but they provide a new way forward for leaders and teams and will prove versatile in the event of change and durable in the face of conflict. With humor and a pastor's candor, Clay will show you why the old ways need updating and what developing new leadership skills could look like for your future. To be clear, the author of this book does not know the future. If he did, he would have used his talents on sports betting or stock trading. What he does know is that yesterday's leadership axioms are today's myths and what that means. The way forward requires an understanding of the past, a conviction of what's at stake today, and a vision for how different tomorrow will be. You don't have to be a young entrepreneur with big dreams or someone looking to land a leadership role just to be considered an aspiring leader. You are one now. And by developing your skills for the future, you can become today's version of a leader worth following.
