The Complete Leader

by Ron Price, Randy Lisk

You have the formal education, the experience and maybe even the title. Yet, you crave additional development of your leadership skills not just another business book or workshop, but something practical, actionable and real-world. The Complete Leader is for you. Executive coaches Randy Lisk and Ron Price combine experiences and tools gleaned from decades working with leaders from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses, to present twenty-five modules in The Complete Leader.

Each skill is organized around the four qualities necessary to leadership excellence. Presented in a way that is both customizable and scalable, each leadership competency utilizes practical tools for defining, practicing and becoming the greatest version of yourself. The companion site, TheCompleteLeader.org, includes individual assessments and furthers the ideas presented in each section, offering additional methods to deepen practice and learning. This combination of book, assessments and website round out a robust program designed for today's established executives and tomorrow's emerging leaders.

Jose Francisco (Paco) Ortiz Collado, Senior Vice president & General Manager of Zoetis Brazil, says this about The Complete Leader: In 25 years leading teams with different cultures, I have never encountered a book about leadership that puts the concept in such a realistic and pragmatic way. It is highly beneficial that these concepts come from leaders like Ron and Randy, who have led organizations and have been able to connect the concepts with real-world experiences. The Complete Leader was a North American Book Award winner in 2014.

Leadership is influence. It is built on character. As Peter Drucker reminded us, it necessarily means we have followers. But, what are the skills or competencies that the effective leader uses to lead others. In this handbook, Ron Price and Randy Lisk combine their years of experience and thoughts to provide a clear description of twenty-five of the most important skills needed for leaders. This is a must read for every current or aspiring leader. There are many books on leadership that are difficult to apply to real life. This is not one of them.
