Book description
A no-nonsense guide to driving performance while still maintaining a
great place to work
Leadership Isn't For Cowards offers straightforward steps to
leading courageously and practical tips for driving performance.
Courageous leadership means toughening your approach by being rigorous
in the application of your values through the company culture. It
means confronting and challenging people, and not letting them get
away with being less than you know they can be. The path to courageous
leadership has six components: Accept Your Current Circumstances, Take
Responsibility, Take Action, Acknowledge Progress, Commit to Lifelong
Learning, and Kindle Relationships. These manageable steps include:
- Identify the area in your business or life where a gap exists
between your current reality and your desired reality
- Align yourself with a person or a group of people who can commit
to holding you accountable for closing the gap
- Make a specific commitment to the outcome(s) you want and assign
dates to them
With courageous leadership, you'll create a culture and a mindset
that encourages and demands excellence! Follow these steps to bring
out the best in your employees and lead your company to significant
success.
