About this listen
Use these powerful techniques to improve and enhance your leadership skills immediately!
This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to awaken, utilize, and maximize the natural leadership potential that you possess.
Leadership opportunities are not just confined in the workplace. Each day, in common life situations, a couple of leadership opportunities actually present themselves to you. To be a leader is to be responsible for your domain, whether that is the office, your team, your business, your field of study, your home, or your neighborhood. Contrary to what most people believe, leadership doesn't come from a position, a title, or even a crown. It is not who you are that makes you a leader. It's what you do, and more importantly, it's how you do it. Each time you make a decision about your life, you practice leadership. You actually become a leader each time you influence someone toward a certain path. Through this book, you will learn the true definition of leadership, the common misconceptions, and the most valuable qualities of a true leader.
The ancient model of command and control leadership is growing less and less applicable in modern work environments. The current trend is knocking down organizational structure. It's a great thing that people are starting to look for more than just a satisfactory job. Smart individuals are searching for careers that enable them to become more actively involved in decision-making. Whether you're a business owner, a manager, or an employee aspiring for a leadership role, this book will teach you strategies on how to motivate others.

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.

Leadership expert Sally Helgesen and best-selling leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith have trained thousands of high achievers - men and women - to reach even greater heights. Again and again, they see that women face specific and different road blocks from men as they advance in the workplace. In fact, the very habits that helped women early in their careers can hinder them as they move up. Simply put, what got you here won't get you there...and you might not even realize your blind spots until it's too late.

Drawing on interviews with executives from Fortune 500 companies, Kathleen Kelley Reardon has compiled essential advice on how to break into the inner circle of power at the top of the corporate ladder.

The ever-changing circle of power within a corporation may not necessarily follow the same guidelines it publicly professes. The most talented employee isn't always the one promoted; there is an intangible quality the upper echelon look for.
