Leaders of all kinds, in all fields, need to be methodical and
logical, but also strategic, innovative, and intuitive. Yet the two
different styles require different modes of thinking, or what
author Mary Lou Décosterd describes as shifts to right brain, or
left brain, thinking. Those who operate in what she explains as the
left brain mode develop strong logical, rational, and analytical
abilities, but they may downplay the value of right brain thinking,
which spurs intuition, subjectivity, and creativity. And those who
operate primarily in the latter mode lose the value of the former.
A leader who is habitually a right-brainer sees only the big
picture, rather than its parts, is creative but not usually
analytical, is an emotional far more than logical. So who is more
effective? Veteran consultant Décosterd shows how those with
maximum success are leaders who understand both styles and have the
ability to switch between the two at certain key moments to broaden
their overall effectiveness. In the language of leadership, this
pragmatic guide provides an all-encompassing view of how to
maximize brain power and get to next-level leadership impact.
Through case examples, simple assessment and unique learning tools,
this book takes the reader through a new process for examining his
or her current leadership style and skill sets, and framing a plan
for greater success. Décosterd explains how, through use of
popular leader exemplars, leadership examples and concise steps and
summaries, every person can, at virtually any stage of personal and
professional accomplishment, become a more consummate leader.
