This book is based on a simple point: leadership roles should be filled by people who deliberately decide that they want to be in them. To that end, Discovering the Leader in You offers a unique system of self-discovery that clearly shows how you can attain the leadership position you want. Robert J. Lee and Sara N. King, who developed this approach from their experience at the widely renowned Center for Creative Leadership, help potential leaders examine development paths in the context of who they are as individuals. They show how you can connect your inner self to the demands of leadership by using a set of questions that will help you take your career in new directions. You'll gain deep insight into what leadership means to you personally as you retain more control over your career choices and, subsequently, achieve more personal success.
I was assigned this to read for work. I didn't go through the exercises, but wrote down several of the questions to work through eventually. I realize I've never held a traditional leadership role at a company which makes it hard to complete the prompts because it's all about future me I guess.
Love this practical application of discovering WHO YOU are as a leader and your DEFINITIVE leadership style. This is not just a leadership book- but a book of that you apply to yourself to gather info on your own leadership style, therefore discovering more about yourself.
