Discover What It Truly Takes To Develop
Leadership Authority & Potency...
A MUST READ FOR ANYONE WHO LEADS OR ASPIRES TO LEAD
What This Book Is All About:
Most leaders think they can just show up and lead. Despite all the research that leaders are developed and not born, few leaders (and organizations) actually look at leading as a profession that requires them to train, gain experience and mastery in order to be effective.
Without training, leaders develop a leadership persona which results in excessive permissiveness or autocratic behaviors as well as other BAD LEADERSHIP HABITS.
So, You Think You Can Lead? challenges the prevailing beliefs in organizations that leaders do not need to develop. It provides a clear, step by step framework to DEVELOP LEADERSHIP AUTHORITY and potency, so that leaders can fully realize their leadership potential.
The book explains what Leading With Authority looks like, the importance of establishing and maintaining leadership authority, and each of the skills and competencies that a leader must master in order to effectively navigate the complexities of leading people.

The Story Behind the Book
A Note from the Authors
Over the past 25 years, we have coached, trained and consulted with thousands of leaders from around the world. During this time, we have seen a dramatic rise in permissive leadership practices, an approach to leading that has leaders abdicating their authority, tolerating inappropriate behaviors and too often working harder than their employees to compensate for performance issues.
We are on a mission to give leaders the power and wisdom to lead. This book was created to give leaders (and organizations!) the insight into what happens when people are expected to just show up and lead, without any training or development. We wanted to share our proven framework that we have used with clients for years to radically change their leadership behavior and impact, giving everyone the opportunity to achieve their full potential as leaders.
Leading With Authority is an approach to leadership mastery that is based on our expertise in personality development, brain organization and development, emotional intelligence and behavioral change, as well as leadership effectiveness and dysfunction. The book sets out in detail our proven development framework and includes real-life examples from our clients to illustrate. It provides leaders (and organizations) with a clear path to follow as they pursue becoming the leader they are meant to be.
The great news is that the power is yours to make your answer to the question:
Yes, I know I can lead!

So practical! I was able to start applying the learning from the book immediately, first noticing my own behavior and recognizing when I was choosing to stay safe, rather than lead. I bought copies for all my leaders.
