Boundaries for Leaders (Enhanced Edition): Results, Relationships, and Being Ridiculously In Charge

by Henry Cloud

Leaders define the boundaries, and successful leaders define them well in several key areas: The vision, the focus, the attention, and the activities that create forward movement are defined by leaders. The emotional climate of the organization and its culture is created and sustained by leaders. The unity and connectedness of the organization and the teams are built or fragmented by leaders. The thinking and beliefs of the organization are sown and grown by leaders. The amount and kinds of control and empowerment that people have are given and required by leaders. The performance and development of their teams and direct reports are stewarded by leaders. The leadership of oneself, which entails establishing one’s own boundaries and stewardship of the organization, is required by leaders.
