A friendly, commonsense approach to leadership promotes
collaboration, participation, respect, commitment, and community.
Mark Sanborn is an excellent speaker, who is perfectly in tune with
the values behind his ideas and examples. Anyone can become an
activist, a change agent, and a pioneer instead of getting caught
up in the prevailing corporate culture of self-importance, fear,
and blind compliance with authority. More than just a feel-good
nudge, the ideas sound fresh
內容簡介:
In his inspiring new book, You Don’t Need a Title to Be a
Leader, Mark Sanborn, the author of the national bestseller
The Fred Factor, shows how each of us can be a leader in our
daily lives and make a positive difference, whatever our title or
position.
Through the stories of a number of unsung heroes, Sanborn
reveals the keys each one of us can use to improve our
organizations and enhance our careers.
Genuine leadership – leadership with a “little l”, as he
puts it, is not conferred by a title, or limited to the executive
suite. Rather, it is shown through our everyday actions and the way
we influence the lives of those around us. Among the qualities that
genuine leaders share:
? Acting with purpose rather than getting bogged down by mindless
activity
? Caring about and listening to others
? Looking for ways to encourage the contributions and development
of others rather than focusing solely on personal
achievements
? Creating a legacy of accomplishment and contribution in
everything they do
As readers across the country discovered in The Fred Factor,
Mark Sanborn has an unparalleled ability to explain fundamental
business and leadership truths through simple stories and
anecdotes. You Don’t Need a Title to Be a Leader offers an
inspiring message to anyone who wants to take control of their life
and make a positive difference.
