Strategic Pause: Stop. Think. Lead. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781735615219)

Leaders are not born. Leaders are made. Leadership is learned.

This book will fast-forward your leadership growth.

When striving to lead, you are faced with many questions:

• How do you escape being at the whim of your daily scramble?
• When you try to lead, are you often unsure of what to do next?
• What is your plan when your responsibilities dramatically increase?

Practicing Strategic Pauses and building a Personal Leadership Model is the answer. In this book you will learn:

• How the Strategic Pause helps you lead in the moment. You can start leading right now.
• How building an inventory of Leadership Templates enables more informed decision-making. You will better see your alternatives and their benefits.
• How to build a Personal Leadership Model-in your own words-comprised of Principles (the "what") and Methods (the "how") of leadership. Your team will be confident that you have a plan.
• How leadership is practicing Strategic Management by doing what you already know you should be doing. You will no longer let your daily scramble get in the way.

I have been evolving and sharing my personal leadership model for 25 years. It works. It will serve as your starting point or as a valuable point of comparison to strengthen your current approach to leadership.
