Publisher's Synopsis
Do you have what it takes to lead?
"Leading from the InsideOUT" shows how to...
> Cultivate your character as a leader
> Interact confidently with your constituents
> Establish credibility to justify your role
> Create enduring connections so others want to follow
> Produce future leaders for your organization
> Discover the fulfillment that comes from growing yourself as well as your organization.
With clear maps, in-depth descriptions, stories of other leaders, and a conversational style, "Leading from the InsideOUT" shows you why you should expand yourself, what to work on, and how to become the leader that others will want to follow.
"In Leading from the InsideOUT" you'll discover that leadership skills are necessary but not sufficient to equip you to lead in this twenty-first century of highly complex global enterprises. David Kolb identifies seven crucial capacities that you'll need to develop, possess, and draw from as you step forward to take charge.
As a leader you need to balance two opposing forces at once: the expectations placed on you by others and the reality that you won't always know what to do because you never encountered the situations you now face.
Can others trust you to guide them through the unknown? If you accept the title and the responsibility then you owe it to yourself to fulfill your destiny, and to your followers to provide them with an illuminated path.
