Jumpstart Your Leadership will share with you the 10 key principles
of leveraging your leadership.
Mission and vision- the important and compelling reasons why every
organization large and small needs to have a mission and vision
statement in order to lead effectively.
Strategic planning- strategic planning is absolutely critical to
the long-term health of an organization. However in many cases
leaders are not skilled at planning short, mid-term and long-term.
Shawn shows them specifically how to plan and think strategically
about the future which is a core leadership competency.
Hiring- hiring in many organizations is done very poorly,
haphazardly and the track record of success is appalling. Shawn
shows leaders how to interview and hire people effectively and
shares a shocking concept about hiring people that they have
probably never heard.
Communication- in many organizations leaders think that they are
communicating effectively-but they would be wrong. The reality is
most leaders think they're communicating effectively but when
employees are asked they say they don't feel "in the loop" or that
the communication is not effective in any way. So why is there two
different versions of effective communication? This chapter will
unlock the keys to effectively communicating in a leadership role.
Motivation- one of the biggest questions that Shawn gets in the
classroom around the country is how can leaders motivate their
employees? In this chapter he shares the inside secrets for getting
the team motivated and only high levels of morale and team spirit.
Reward- too many times in too many organizations high-performing
employees feel underappreciated overworked and not rewarded. In
this chapter Shawn shares with them many of the myths about reward
and how they can be shattered. He also shares the key strategies
for rewarding people in order to impact of rewards and to increase
people's perception of their rewards.
Accountability- far too many times managers are reluctant to hold
employees accountable for the results of their work. In this
section Shawn shares the key tools and techniques for holding
people accountable for their work and for the results of their
work.
Development- Shawn believes that one of the key responsibilities of
a person in a leadership role is to provide employees with the
development that they deserve and need. He will show leaders how to
put an end to the concept of a "dead end job."
Storytelling- Shawn believes that an important competency of
leadership is being able to tell stories that reinforce and help
build the culture of an organization. In this section leaders will
learn how to become a competent and powerful storyteller as a
leader.
Authenticity- many books of late have been written about the
importance of authenticity and honesty. This chapter shares with
leaders the importance of being "who they are" within the framework
of their organization.
In addition to covering all of these topics, each section of the
book includes a "work it" section at the end of the chapter which
encourages the leader to turn the concepts that they learned into
action.. This section allows people in a leadership role to create
a plan for acting on the information that they just learned.
This book simply and powerfully captures the key elements for being
a truly effective and impactful leader in any environment.
For the past 23 years Shawn Doyle has traveled the country as a
speaker and trainer teaching leadership development programs to
corporate America. As a result of this experience Shawn engineered
a comprehensive leadership development program. This book is a
summary of that program. Many leaders have commented that these
concepts are life changing. Some clients include Pfizer, Comcast,
Charter Media, IBM, Kraft, Microsoft, The Marines, The Ladders, and
Los Alamos National Defense Laboratory.
