Description

Self-leadership was written for people who work for a living. There is a glut of books and articles out there whose sole audience are chief executives or people who want to be chief executives. Even when the topic might be how to help the condition of a workforce, the writers speak to those executives, as if the people who actually need the help are incapable of or uninterested in helping themselves.Little has been written, for people who may have no particular ambitions to reach a certain office or hold a certain title, but instead simply want be more effective at whatever it is they happen to do, whether that's running a home, a business, or a backhoe.If you are interested in leadership, yes, this book is for you, but it's not about the false notion of leadership that obsesses about controlling people. It's about true leadership whereby we come to understand control of situations and circumstances.Self-leadership speaks to you, not the people you report to. It's not dumbed down and it's not full of hot air. It's filled with constructive information about why some of us may not be as effective as we'd like to be and how to become better at whatever it is you do. All of it is backed up by extensive research and first hand experiences.As you reading Self-leadership, there will be moments of astonishment as you suddenly realize how you can do something better or shock to discover how other highly effective people have been operating their entire lives.You will be happy to have read it, better at what you do for having read it, and reassured knowing that you will always have it as resource as you move forward in your life.
