Leadership starts from within and manifests itself on the outside.
Jeff Wolf's well-crafted book, "SEVEN DISCIPLINES OF A LEADER" provides the skills needed from within and shows how to seamlessly transfer them into actions with practical applications.
The "SEVEN DISCIPLINES OF A LEADER" details how to:
Emulate leaders whose behaviors foster open, two-way communication with the team
Identify how ego gets in the way of effectiveness
Learn to borrow leadership attributes from situations
Analyze and recalibrate yourself in terms of the "Seven Deadly Leadership Sins"
Create a plan to weave discipline into your daily life and improve your leadership
Highly effective leaders engage others in creating a clear, compelling, and inspiring vision, and communicate it in such a way that everyone understands it---and---in a way that motivates and inspires people to work as a team toward common goals. Only then will people be motivated.
No organization becomes great without a shared vision, goals, and values. A genuine vision breeds excellence and learning because people in the organization want to pursue these goals.
