WHAT MAKES A LEADER? CAN YOU REALLY LEARN TO LEAD? You might
believe that leaders are born, not made. Perhaps you think that you
need to hold an important job to be a leader--that you need
permission to lead. Leadership is one of the most important aspects
of our society. Yet there is enormous disagreement and confusion
about what leadership means and whether it can really be learned.
As Harvard Business School professor Robert Steven Kaplan explains
in this powerful new book, leadership qualities are not something
you either have or you don't. Leadership is not a destination or a
state of being. Leadership is about what you do, rather than who
you are, and it starts with an ownership mind-set. For Kaplan,
learning to lead involves three key elements: * Thinking like an
owner * A willingness to act on your beliefs * A relentless focus
on adding value to others Kaplan compellingly argues that great
organizations are built around a nucleus of people who think and
act with an ownership mind-set. He believes that leadership is not
a role reserved only for those blessed with the right attributes or
situated in the right positions of power. Leadership is accessible
to each of us--today. It requires a process of hard work,
willingness to ask questions, and openness to learning. This book
aims to demystify leadership and outlines a specific regimen that
will empower you to build your leadership skills. Kaplan tells
real-life stories from his own experience of working with various
types of leaders seeking to improve their effectiveness and make
their organizations more successful. He asks probing questions,
provides exercises, and suggests concrete follow-up steps that will
help you develop your skills, create new habits, and move you
toward reaching your unique leadership potential. What You Really
Need to Lead will help you develop your capacity to lead by
unlocking your power to think and act like an owner.
