The problem is you're busy executing on today's demands.

In Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, Ibarra offers advice to: Redefine your job in order to make more strategic contributions Diversify your network so that you connect to, and learn from, a wider range of stakeholders Become more playful with your self-concept, allowing your familiar—and possibly outdated—leadership style to evolve Ibarra turns the usual leadership advice—generate insight about yourself through reflection and analysis of your strengths and weaknesses—on its head by arguing that you must first act and experiment your way into trying new things. The valuable external perspective you gain from direct experiences and experimentation—which Ibarra calls outsight—provides new and critical information on what kind of work is important to you, how you should invest your time, why and which relationships matter, and, ultimately, who you want to become.

Moore was asked to rescue a leading energy corporation from ever-increasing debt and a lack of executive accountability, he faced an uphill battle. Not only had he never before stepped into the role of CEO; he also had no experience in the rapidly evolving energy sector.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKForeword by Lord Dr Michael Hastings of Scarisbrick, CBE, Chancellor of Regent's University London Are YOU holding yourself back as a leader? Then this book is for you. I'm Not a Leader has been written to challenge anyone who does not think they are a leader or could ever be one. Leadership is principally a choice and numerous opportunities are waiting for someone just like you to step into the role. This book is also a great resource to use if you are already leading and are looking to inspire others to start leading. Leadership is neither a destination to be reached nor a badge of honour to be worn. It is not even a skill to be learned on a course. More fundamentally, it is an attitude of commitment to having a positive influence on others. Growing as a leader involves embarking on a journey; a journey that will be different for every person. There will be twists and turns on the way - leadership is seldom easy - but it is an adventure that brings great satisfaction and opportunity for personal growth. Imagine a world full of leaders. Leaders who are truly full of leadership, rather than being full of themselves. Imagine a world full of leaders who choose to serve rather than be served. Imagine the impact you could have! PRAISE FOR I'M NOT A LEADER *** This book is a treasure trove of tools for those aspiring to lead their private and public organizations to success. It is a must-read. Nathi Dlamini, Business CEO *** *** If you are just starting out on your leadership journey or aren't sure whether you really want to take on that first leadership role you've been offered, this book is for you. Andy Matheson, Leadership Trainer and Coach *** *** I'm Not a Leader is simply brilliant. Verity Lambert-Dale, Headteacher *** *** This book captures the essence of leading for our future. Mary-Anne Murphy, Author, Speaker, Coach *** *** I'm Not a Leader is a smart title for a book. It is a much-needed invitation to some to step into leadership for the first time when it would be all too easy for them to otherwise assume this is someone else's responsibility. The book is also an invitation to us all to consider what we mean by leadership. Lord Dr Michael Hastings of Scarisbrick, CBE, Chancellor of Regent's University London *** USE THE 'LOOK INSIDE' FEATURE NOW TO SAMPLE THE OPENING PAGES AND SIX-PART PRESENTATION OF THIS INSPIRING BOOK.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York Times bestselling author Tommy Spaulding shows you how looking inwards--and leading with your heart--can transform your life. In his New York Times bestseller, It’s Not Just Who You Know, world renowned leadership speaker and former CEO of Up with People Tommy Spaulding talked about the power of building genuine and lasting relationships both personally and professionally. In The Heart-Led Leader, Spaulding turns his focus to ourselves--to who we are. Authentic leaders, Spaulding says, live and lead from the heart. The values and principles that guide our lives and shape our ability to lead others is far more important than our title, or our ability to crunch numbers, or the impressive degrees we display on our walls. To effect true transformational change, heart-led leaders draw on the qualities of humility, vulnerability, transparency, empathy and love. Illustrated with stories from his own life, and from some of the exceptional leaders he has met and worked with over the years, Spaulding unpacks what those qualities mean, talks about the 18-inch journey from the head to the heart--from our intellect to our emotions--and shows us how to incorporate them into our careers, into how we manage and lead others, and into how we live our lives. It is a vision of leadership that has the power to transform everything we do, and the lives of everyone we touch.
