You’ve strived to be your best in every step of your career. Now you’re starting a new leadership role, one with more responsibility in areas and organizations where your experience is limited. The template for success you’ve always relied on may no longer apply. You need an adaptable roadmap based on shared values and thoughtful strategy. You need improved clarity, renewed confidence, and deeper capabilities. But first, you need a starting point. In Changing Altitude , Dennis O’Neil and Greg Hiebert provide you with a comprehensive framework for optimizing your impact and maximizing personal and professional growth. When it comes to leadership, character counts. Dennis and Greg show you how to identify values that underscore who you are as a leader, define what success means to your organization, and take your team into the future with a synergistic balance of self-reflection and self-development. No matter your industry, experience, or responsibilities, this book is your official guide for becoming a more impactful leader.
Changing Altitude is a leadership book for our time - now - and for future leaders. With the destabilization of all kinds of systems, leaders need to have the agility, perspective, and critical thinking skills that this book so succinctly and generously shares. Leaders of the future will not be able to hide like leaders of the past; demands for transparency and accountability are increasing exponentially. Level up with Changing Altitude! And share this book far and wide with your colleagues and friends and especially with new leaders who will be guiding the future. This will help them lead in that sweet spot between optimism and pessimism where progress and positive impact actually happen.
I found this to be very interesting and a little different than other leadership and management books. I agree with Dennis on you must know yourself before you can work and help others on your team. This will be a book I will come back to read again over the year.
