MONTHLY BOOK FEATURE:
The 360 Degree Leader by John Maxwell
Many business books today have been written with the CEO in mind, and they tend to focus on the unique set of challenges reserved for senior management. With The 360 Degree Leader, Maxwell has tailored leadership advice for those of us who need to lead not only down, but across and up as well.
The 360 Degree Leader debunks common myths about leadership and instead defines true leadership as what happens whenever people start looking up to you. Instead of looking to be the main manager in an organization, Maxwell urges us to accept our role as leader in our current position, and begin contributing to make a significant impact in our company - starting right now.
Maximizing our personal leadership influence with everyone we come in contact with helps us become more effective and successful, regardless of our position within the organization. By recognizing that everyone we work with is a leader, no matter what their current title is, we change our perspective and treat our colleagues, direct reports and superiors with more respect.
If you have ever wondered how you can personally create change within your company – whether you want to implement new policies or create substantial changes in corporate culture - be sure to read this book!
