Esteemed scholars and authors James Kouzes and Barry Posner show readers how to tackle everyday leadership challenges without relying on position or authority. Drawing on their trademark TLC (The Leadership Challenge) framework, the authors show how their lessons on leadership can be adapted by anyone, no matter the setting or circumstance. <p>You'll learn about the essence of leadership and the important differences between positions of power and opportunities for leadership. You'll recognize the essential importance of discovering who you are and what you care about and how these insights guide you to exercise leadership. Relying on original data and established research, the authors have created a framework that adds up to more than just a collection of anecdotes. The book's transformational lessons rest upon a foundation of more than four decades of research. <p><i>Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership</i> argues convincingly for the proposition that leadership is not synonymous with having a managerial or executive role. Instead, the authors demonstrate that leadership involves the clarification and demonstration of one's own values. You'll find out how to use your own convictions to overcome resistance to change and inertia by sharing your vision and passion with those around you. Furthermore, you'll learn that leadership development is fundamentally self-development and that leading others requires striving to be the best version of yourself. <p>This book is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their own leadership potential and who isn't yet in a formal leadership role. <i>Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership</i> offers authoritative new insights, case studies and examples, and practical guidance for those who want to make a difference.
