This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Review Package for the book, Compass: Your Guide for Leadership Development and Coaching) Continuing research from the Center for Creative Leadership reports what kind of actions contribute to effective leadership—the kind of leadership that generates an inclusive process among managers, peers, employees, and senior leaders, and is marked by direction, alignment, and commitment. Guiding a team or an entire organization toward these outcomes requires competency—an interrelated set of knowledge, skills, and perspectives that address predictable and unpredictable situations. This book is for leaders and managers looking to develop competency in themselves and others. It is also for training and development professionals, either inside companies or working as independent consultants, who can use the book as a coaching tool and as a blueprint for leader development plans. For anyone concerned with his or her development as a leader, dedicated to developing their people for more responsibility, and committed to organizational sustainability, this book can be a valuable tool. This book distills the characteristics, actions, and perspectives at the heart of creative leadership. Its developmental opportunities and coaching tactics support a single purpose: to help you—and the people you develop—become what is needed in any circumstance to galvanize teams, groups, and organizations and help people move toward a thriving future. Achieving competency isn’t a check mark on a list. It’s a step toward creative leadership—leadership capable of adapting, inventing, and renewing itself amid the uncertainty, volatility, and ambiguity of a continually changing world.
