Discovering the Leader in You

by John Van Maurik

This text encourages everyone to realise the leadership opportunities open to them, no matter what their level of responsibility of position. With a practical approach the text discusses the advantages of leadership skills, re-analysing traditional ideas and focuses on the skills, attitudes and knowledge that help leadership qualities to develop. The text uses real-life examples rather than theory and abstract concepts so anyone can put their leadership skills to practice.

What is this thing called leadership?; knowing and valuing yourself; conceiving, testing and implementing your vision; leading the team; the leader as motivator and persuader; maturation; giving away your power; leadership and change; why leaders fail!; the millennium leader; taking control of your leadership development.
