| Summary |
Living your leadership starts with self-leadership to discover, understand, and improve yourself. Only then can you shift your focus to being a transformational leader focused on servant leadership. Chris Ewing, a leadership consultant and eductor who formerly served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, shares a thoughtful approach developed through years of study and research to foster leadership in a deliberate and structured fashion. He demonstrates how to develop your leadership style to match authentic servant leadership through individual discipline and critical reflection of character. He then explores how to regulate behavior and explains why it's important to move from an extrinsic motivational orientation toward a more intrinsic one. Other topics include the difference between management and leadership, how to lead with empathy and authenticity, and how to balance control and automony. Just an important, you'll learn how to avoid stumbling blocks that prevent many from becoming effective leaders. If you want to be an effective leader, you must be the kind of person that people want to follow. Become that person with the insights and lessons in this book. |
