Leadership research demonstrates that there are serious shortcomings in the quality and competence of leaders in our organisations. The recent global financial crisis has also reminded us that, if our society and economies are to move forward sustainably, we must have the right kind of leaders and the right kind of leadership throughout our organisations. Yet billions of dollars are spent annually on leadership development programs.
The Leader in You has been framed to be useful to all individuals who are currently in leadership roles, from chief executives to frontline managers, and for those who wish to step up to a leadership role. Organisations can also utilise this book to assist their leaders to increase their leadership potential or to complement leadership development programs.
