Model T Leadership: From Good Manager to Great Leader

by Andy Kelly

The single biggest barrier to effective leadership in organisations is that most of us are promoted into leadership positions because we are technically good at or passionate about something. We are promoted because of what we do, rather than how we think. This book is built around the T model of leadership developed and honed over 20 years of working with leaders across the UK. It is a very simple model which recognises that the vertical of the T is our technical comfort zone where we want to focus our time and efforts, managing the activity around us. Leadership is spent at the top of the T, where we think about the business, provoke change and engage people. Leaders in the vertical are a mile deep but they also need to operate effectively at the top of the T and be a mile wide. Unfortunately, the top of the T is out of the comfort zone so how do we encourage and support leaders to make the transition? The objective of the book is to support leaders to recognise the dichotomy in their role and embrace leadership.
