Putting Your Values to Work Becoming the Leader Others Want to Follow

Explains how anyone who learns the power of vision, voice, vectors, and values in the lives of those around them can be an outstanding leader.The direct result of the author's experience in teaching leadership and conducting management training sessions for professional organizations, this book describes four fundamental ideas that explain how and why people are compelled to follow: Values, Vision, Vector, and Voice. Together, these concepts form the essence of leadership and inform the steps necessary to inspire others to follow. The accessible, easy-to-read chapters differentiate leadership from management, connect the views and choices of followers with the definition and essential tasks of leadership, and link the "Four Vs" to tried and true concepts in leadership theory while drawing contrasts to conventional management wisdom.
