Acerca de esta escucha
"Leaders are born, not made."
For the longest time, this was the widely held perspective about leadership. The majority of people believed in this idea put forward by the Trait Theory of Leadership, which is an extension of the Great Man Theory given by Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle in the 1840s. Many theorists and philosophers also got influenced by Carlyle’s idea and even expanded it.
One such philosopher was Francis Galton, who had several titles under his belt but was best known for his work in the fields of eugenics and human intelligence. In his book Hereditary Genius, written in 1869, Galton borrowed Carlyle’s idea of leadership and claimed that leadership qualities are immutable properties of extraordinary individuals. He also further emphasized the notion that leadership qualities are not something that you could develop.
This line of thinking prevailed for about a century. It was only in the late 1940s that some theorists and philosophers started coming up with different perspectives about leadership. They were classified as behavioral theories of leadership and focused on identifying and studying specific behaviors of leaders and their response to particular stimuli. By building on this core idea, behavioral theories suggest that anyone can become a leader by learning appropriate behavioral responses to various situations.
I believe that the art and science of leadership, one could learn. The set of personality traits, qualities, and skills that make great leaders are often acquired and developed, of course, with hard work. Like any other goal, you need to set priorities, determine your path, and consistently work to become a leader in your field.
This book is about the things I learned during my journey in the business world. It’s about the essential characteristics, qualities, and skills that one needs to have to progress and eventually become a leader in any field and how you can develop them. You will also learn about how I understood what it takes to become a leader, which, I believe, will inspire and motivate several others out there. If I can do it, anyone can!

The truth is, being a great leader doesn’t mean you need to have a fancy job title. You don’t have to be overly assertive, and you don’t need to rule with an “iron fist”. Following the simple framework in this book, you can quickly go from putting out fires at work to building a collaborative and cooperative team. A team that respects and follows you, not because you’re a manager, but because you are the boss. But the choice is yours. You can keep second-guessing every decision you make. Or you can bring out the strong leader within and inspire your team to success.

From working as clerks and secretaries in the 1950s, women today are now holding top positions in the world’s largest corporations. Yet women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership roles, making up only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs and 10 percent of top management positions in S&P 1500 companies, despite accounting for 47 percent of the labor workforce. The reason for this has nothing to do with intelligence, skills, or personality. Biases, gender expectations, and discrimination are definitely major contributing factors.

True leadership isn't a matter of having a certain job or title. In fact, being chosen for a position is only the first of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To become more than "the boss" people follow only because they are required to, you have to master the ability to invest in people and inspire them. To grow further in your role, you must achieve results and build a team that produces. You need to help people to develop their skills to become leaders in their own right.

The need for and demands on leadership have changed radically in the past few years. To be a dynamic and effective leader of a 21st-century organization or corporation requires an entirely different strategy and set of skills than it did just five or ten years ago. In fact, much of the best advice and examples from even the last decade no longer apply.

Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life’s work to understand trust in leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative book, Trust and Inspire, he offers a simple yet bold solution: to shift from this “command and control” model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.” People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential.
