Excerpt
Lots of people run for office, and they claim that they can lead. There are also those who apply for jobs that require them to supervise or manage others, and they too seem to think they can lead. With so much failure in leadership these days, society demands answers to this question, “So what makes you think you can lead?”
In Leadership: So What Makes You Think You Can Lead, author Dr. Larry F. Ross Sr. reviews the best practices toward building the leadership in each person. Having had the pleasure of supervising, managing, and leading people for over thirty-three years, he has witnessed firsthand what methods and strategies work for an effective leadership. Leadership is a partnership. Leaders cannot get anything done unless the employees are in concert with their leadership. The complexity of being a leader requires one to think differently from others—to be able to see the big picture.
While Ross’s first book, So You Want to Be a Strategic Leader: Here Are the Essential to Get You Started was designed to promote the essentials skills and knowledge for those who aspired to be a strategic leader, Leadership: So What Makes You Think You Can Lead is for all those who want to be a leader in a structured or unstructured organization (public or private) and provide best practices needed for that endeavor.
Though the evolution of leadership thought has changed over the years, people must welcome the new avenues to pursue in regard to the role they play as leaders. The author hopes that this book will help leaders build a positive working relationship with employees.
