Lead yourself. Lead your team. Lead your company.
Most people try to target one of these at a time, but the truth is, they all build off each other. Want to lead your team better? Learn how to lead yourself first. Want to lead your company well? Learn how to lead your team.
In the chaos of running a business, we can complicate what it means to lead. But at the end of the day, leadership really boils down to one clear tenet: taking care of people. It's about teaching others how to think so that they can get what they want. It's about enabling people to be and to do their best.
While there's no formula for great leadership, there are opportunities to "stand on the shoulders of giants," to follow the example of those who have gone before us, to mimic and adapt techniques that have worked for others. That's precisely what this book is: a collection of models that will help you lead better. Each chapter will provide real stories and examples, leadership and business principles, and actionable items and advice with the goal of equipping you to lead yourself, your team, and your company better. The Steady Leader is your guide to unlocking your full potential as an individual, leader, and advocate--both in and out of the workplace.
