Leadership Starts With Leading Ourselves Get onto an Upward Spiral where one good thing leads to another. Learn to make the day-to-day leadership choices in work and in life that will make the world better for ourselves and others.
Choose to reach for purpose and joy.
The world needs to work better for everyone. For that to happen we need more of us choosing to act in special ways. We need more of a certain kind of leaders and leadership -- a revolutionary form of leadership.
Leadership is not determined by our social status or job title; it's determined by the Choices that each of us make. Every one of us can make these leadership Choices. Choosing to Lead is about leadership that lifts up ourselves and others. It is that lift that makes it so effective and joyous.
More of us need to see and embrace the challenging opportunities that are calling each of us to choose to lead. Choosing to Lead shows people like each of us who are making these Choices. The book reveals how to use a set of clear, practical leadership Mindsets and Methods to make good leadership Choices in the four domains of Intent, Being, Language and Roles.
Using these Mindsets and Methods will lead not only to greater effectiveness and results but also will precipitate greater joy. This concept of joy is one you will seldom, if ever, encounter in other management or business school case studies or workshops. But it is real, it is contagious, and it is a force spurring results and connections never imagined.
Choosing to Lead is about leadership that is benevolent, not malevolent.
Learn how to create the kind of work and life experiences that others will always remember - in good ways. Resist the natural temptation to disqualify ourselves from leadership.
Join with the people whose leadership journeys are profiled in the pages of this book.
Choose to lead. Make the parts of the world we touch better - much better.
