In this book you will find examples from some of the best
leadership activities and behaviors observed firsthand in the
working world. Some of the best examples have come from small,
privately run companies with a handful of employees while others
come from multi-national organizations with thousands of employees
worldwide. Some are from the retail world, from manufacturing,
heavy industrial operations, the service sector, not-for-profit
agencies and even Mom and Pop operations.
There are leadership styles from within Canada, the United States
and the United Kingdom. Leaders' behaviors and personal styles vary
from private, public and not-for -profit businesses and these
different styles and approaches provide valuable lessons for
leaders everywhere.
Some of the people you will find in these pages have a
'fresh-faced' enthusiasm, an energy and passion fresh from college
or university while others wear a time worn expression that speaks
of experience, results, changes and maturity. There are examples of
leaders who continue to look for ways to improve their own working
style; they strive to develop the people around them, and seem to
constantly be considering ways to make yet another contribution, to
apply a new approach, to leave a legacy, to know they have made a
difference.
As you leaf through the pages you may recognize your own style in
some of the activities, while some examples may trigger you to
think of alternative approaches; places where you can make
adjustments. For some of you there will be gentle reminders to go
back to some the things you once did so passionately but have since
forgotten. For others there will be a fresh new concept on every
page.
My hopeis that this book will inspire you to try something new, to
re-visit familiar but seldom-used approaches, and to re-connect
with your people in ways that build skills, competence and
confidence.
In these pages you'll find ways to make profound changes that can
catapult your career upwards and inspire emerging leaders to make
their own mark. If you act, and act carefully, following the
concepts and examples from these pages, others will, in time,
recognize your abilities because results will be more evident. You
will find that your employees will become more courageous, more
capable, more confident, and you will have made your mark as a
leader worthy of respect.
Read slowly, ponder long; proceed carefully. Be courageous, step
forward, and try something new. Make certain that when you retire
or move on to advance your own career, you leave behind highly
skilled and capable employees because of your leadership and
coaching.
How does this book work? It started one letter at a time which
conjured up a thought and then a lesson, a memory of a leader and
an example of the leadership in action. Each one could, and does
stand alone; there is no pattern, no sequence, and no place to
start or end.
Flip through the book in a random fashion, read a page a day, pick
something that seems to "speak to you," or settle down for a
journey into leadership development. The choice is yours.
There's something for everyone within these pages. Read, enjoy,
reflect, apply and learn. A fresh new leader is just around the
corner.
