Description
"Each of us has the potential for a leadership moment. Reading this book will help you find yours." Dr. Marty Linsky, faculty at Harvard Kennedy School & author of The Practice of Adaptive Leadership
#1 New Release in Business & Money Skills and Office Management
Adaptive Leadership was introduced to the world in 1994 by Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky of the Harvard Kennedy School. Author Eric Martin brings an expansion and distillation of Adaptive Leadership to new life for novices and advanced leadership practitioners alike, building on his work with Heifetz and Linsky.
Next level of Adaptive Leadership. Your Leadership Moment draws on the extensive personal research, travel, conversations, and reflections of author Eric Martin, a prominent leadership expert. His quest to 'democratize leadership' has taken him around the world from the White House to the foothills of the Himalayas. Through stories of success and failure, Martin teaches what's possible when people discover the capacity and courage to lead regardless of identity, history, or access to power and financial capital.
Be an authentic leader who changes the world. Your Leadership Moment is an account of the democratizing leadership of three ordinary people leading extraordinary change. It's an exciting expansion of Adaptive Leadership that can help anyone learn to lead. Your Leadership Moment provides tools and techniques to discover and leverage your leadership moments for a better world.
Your Leadership Moment empowers you to:
- Understand a Leadership Moment and key concepts of Adaptive Leadership
- Stop solving the wrong problems and start solving the right problems
- Think politically and mobilize others to make real, positive change
- Stop getting in your own way
If you liked The Practice of Adaptive Leadership, Leadership on the Line, or An Everyone Culture, you'll love Your Leadership Moment.
