What to expect
Conventional leadership coaching approaches focus primarily on personal change, exploring the qualities that define successful leaders. But to truly play transformative and visionary roles within their organizations, C-suite and other senior leaders must accurately gauge their own strengths and weaknesses, and learn to identify and address the "shadow side" of their personality traits.
This book offers a unique model for strategic leadership by encouraging leaders to think carefully about their personal leadership styles. The authors show listeners how to use their Big Five personality profiles to identify their unique personality strengths, how to understand the personality styles of others they encounter in professional scenarios, and how to use this knowledge to steer their organizations to greater success.
Becoming a Strategic Leader also provides guidelines for coaching staff, managing performance, creating an optimal work culture, and establishing best practices for planning and leadership in the workplace.
