How to Become a Born Leader: Keys to Building, Motivating, and Leading Dynamic Teams (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780937539095)

A boss and a leader are wildly different creatures. The boss lurks
behind to prod, goad, and threaten workers, or stands in front to
entice them to do jobs they would never do otherwise. A leader, by
contrast, burrows into the hearts of employees and sets them afire
with a desire to do those very things. This book offers a roadmap
to wean managers away from the carrots-and-sticks approach and
to empower them with tools to motivate workers from within. Each
reader is thrust into a centrifuge and spun until the heavier
qualities of a leader have been separated out and the superficial
features of a boss may be cast off, leaving only pure
leadership behind. Years later, those uninformed souls who never
witnessed the transformation stand in awe of one they mistakenly
call a "born leader," one who exerts an almost magical spell over
those being led. Leaders are not born, but built as you scale the
Leadership Pyramid.
