Download or read book Once Upon a Leader written by Rick Lash and published by Page Two. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take charge of your leadership story—and write a new chapter There are moments in just about every leadership journey when the path forward suddenly feels unclear. Struck by uncertainty and a lack of confidence, your sense of self—and your clarity of purpose—is out of balance. It’s as if you have ceased to be the hero in your own story. At times of periods of disruption and transition like these, you need a rewrite. As a senior leader, what holds you back is often not a lack of skills or knowledge, but a fragmented and patchy leadership narrative that is frozen in time. A growing body of research suggests that many leaders are guided by a core narrative that defines not only how they see themselves, but that acts as a key source of personal motivation, drive and action. When your leadership stalls, it’s a sign that your story has taken you as far as it can—and it’s time to reauthor a new leadership narrative. In this transformative guide to leadership development, executive coaches and leadership experts Rick Lash and Christine Miners illuminate how your internal narrator acts as the operating system of your mind—and how, like any OS, it can become outdated and overstretched (because it was mainly installed in your teens and early 20s). Through engaging stories, research-backed insights, and techniques, you’ll gain the tools to re-engage and update the story that you tell yourself, so you can operate at a higher, more effective level. As you edit and upgrade your internal narrator, you’ll develop a personal story that is more grounded and anchored in your true self: one that is less fragile, more resilient, and able to withstand the relentless pressures of leadership—and life.

Book excerpt: What is joyous leadership and why should it be practiced? In his book, Joyous Leadership, Mark Watson makes the case through pivotal personal stories that joyous leadership is not about short-term profit or prestige. It is a long-term endeavor to enrich our lives and strengthen our communities. Joyous Leadership makes the case that we all have plain or sometimes ugly personal stories that, like a prism examined in the light, transform into something that may surprise ourselves and inspire others.Joyous Leadership is a book not just for managers and leader-types; it's a hopeful guide on making an impact where you are right now, wherever that may be. It's a book conspicuously free of billionaires and Ivy League graduates, not because we can't learn from these high achievers, but they get plenty of accolades elsewhere. Joyous Leadership is about getting back to the most innate human truths, celebrating the unsung everyday heroes of your life story, finding joy where you are right now, and creating something that lasts. The pursuit of joyous leadership will make an impact on you and your community that reverberates through time.

Download or read book LOVING Like a Leader written by Peter Jeff and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a handy reference tool on leadership principles and as an on-going, convenient professional development conversation starter for a leader and his or her staff, LOVING Like a Leader is comprised of 77 short stories called Leadership Mints. Sweetened with insights from 77-plus other books on leadership, these Leadership Mints define and leverage emotional intelligence in general and love in a business context in particular for greater productivity, profitability and sustainability. Like a candy mint, these short stories, these Leadership Mints are quickly accessed on-the-go in real time, easily digested and immediately satisfying. Combining the story-telling of an inspirational book like Chicken Soup for the Soul with the consummate research of the most-sold leadership development book in the world (over 1.5 million copies) like The Leadership Challenge, LOVING Like a Leader shares the best-kept secret of successful leaders: Love. In an entertaining story-telling format, this book provides tips and techniques-and the business rationale -to take love out of the bedroom and into the boardroom and optimize bottom-line results. Indeed, love is the "best-kept secret of successful leaders" based on extensive surveys of more than two million leaders over three decades according to highly-acclaimed researchers James Kouzes and Barry Posner, authors of The Leadership Challenge. LOVING Like a Leader is comprised of 77 short stories called Leadership Mints illustrating how leaders in business, sports and politics lead with love in a business context and set the stage for more on-going, more relevant and more convenient professional development. That's especially significant to both leaders and their direct reports now that Annual Reviews are trending toward more regular ad hoc learning opportunities and more timely feedback sessions. Like a candy mint, these short stories, these Leadership Mints are easily digested and immediately satisfying on-the-go in real time. You don't have to sit down to read this book for 15-30 minutes or more at a time as if it were a meal. You can digest these Leadership Mints one bite at a time in 5 minutes or less (average reading time per story) as if were a candy mint: easily accessed - always at your finger tips. Think of this book as your personal candy mint dish for you to grab and go when a leader's intervention can do the most good: in real time solving a real issue relevant to all concerned at the time. Too often we send leaders to workshops and seminars and fill them up with information and tools that somehow never get dusted off in the real world. That's why this book is structured around Leadership Mints not chapters. This reader-friendly format of short stories packing vital leadership thinking has spawned an on-going series of 5-minute Leadership Mints Breaks during regular staff meetings where leaders and their staffs discuss the key message in a story (a mint). Busy leaders don't have the time to attend as many seminars or workshops as they might like. And business demands preclude their staffs from attending as many off-site training programs. The 5-minute Leadership Mints Break provides a quick and easy solution to long-term growing future leaders without sacrificing short term productivity. That's the intent of a Leadership Mint, a quick pick-me-up via a short entertaining story that can be read in less than 5 minutes and provides a key tip or technique to handle a leadership issue from conflict management to emotional intelligence
