Against the backdrop of corporate downsizings and rightsizings that
have forever blurred the line between leaders and followers, The
Manager as Leader presents practical strategies, tools, and
techniques for developing the leadership mindset and applying it on
a daily basis. The book introduces the Contextual Leadership Model,
which identifies nine fundamental leadership roles and six common
contexts in which leadership is exercised, and guides readers
toward matching their roles and actions to the particular context
at hand—as well as making adjustments when context changes.
Packed with illustrative examples, diagnostic tools, worksheets,
and other interactive elements, and featuring an extensive listing
of resources, The Manager as Leader is a hands-on guide to the art
of leadership, whether you are an executive, manager, supervisor,
or aspiring leader anywhere in the organization. An invisible line
between individual contributor and leader was once thought to
exist, separating leaders from followers. Two decades of
downsizings and rightsizings have forever blurred this distinction
and left us with three fundamental challenges: (1) How can an
organization elicit leadership from everyone?; (2) How can those
who choose to lead influence others to perform more effectively and
efficiently than they ever thought possible?; (3) How can leaders
continue to be successful when the environment in which they lead
is constantly changing? Addressing these challenges requires a
certain awareness and nimbleness on behalf of the person thinking
and acting as the leader, regardless of their formal position. The
Manager as Leader presents practical strategies, tools, and
techniques for developing the leadership mindset and applying it on
a daily basis. The book introduces the Contextual Leadership Model,
which identifies nine fundamental leadership roles and six common
contexts in which leadership is exercised, and guides readers
toward matching their roles and actions to the particular context
at hand; it also shows readers how to anticipate changes in context
and adjust their roles and actions accordingly. Packed with
illustrative examples, diagnostic tools, worksheets, and other
interactive elements, and featuring an extensive listing of
resources, The Manager as Leader is a hands-on guide to the art of
leadership, whether you are an executive, manager, supervisor, or
aspiring leader anywhere in the organization.
