Using the models of Situational Leadership® II , DISC, and
other acclaimed psychological theories, this text explores how your personality governs to
a large extent how you will act and react as a leader over time. Striving to know your patterned self and your alternatives to those patterns is a key
to being an effective leader.
The authors of this book have been consulting, teaching, and training in U.S. and
International corporations for a combined total of over one hundred years.
At the heart of
this book is a seven-year, in-depth statistical study concerning the personalities and
influence behaviors used by corporate executives. The framework and in-depth discussion of personality and leadership can help anyone
influence others more effectively. The purpose of the book is to help you recreate or
re-invent your approach to leadership for better organizational results and greater human
satisfaction.
The contents of this book are structured around four core ideas: Disposition, Values,
Leader Behavior, and Character. Beginning with Chapter 1, which deals
with the challenges of self change, you will find that each chapter contains metaphors to
increase understanding and retention.
Discovering who you are and what you can be is a life-long challenge. Connecting to the
"lost", or as yet, unused facets of your humanness will make you a better leader
and will go far to rekindle the spirit of the people you lead.
