The Leader Within is the result of many years of experience training, consulting, coaching, and researching American business managers and leaders. This book is a self-development resource; its purpose is to help you learn more about yourself so that you can change, grow, and become a better leader.
Knowing yourself is key to being an effective leader. The models explained in this book can help you examine the inner self that you bring to your organizational life's frequent "moments of influence." Examining how you presently behave as a leader, and then contrasting and comparing those behaviors with possible alternatives, can provide you with invaluable insights for becoming a more effective leader.
Managers, consultants, and human resource professionals can use this book to be more effective in their roles. College and university faculty also can use this book as a challenging and stimulating text for their own leadership teaching or research, and the research formulated by the students they advise.
"A definitive work on the inner psychic aspects of leadership. Read this book and your leadership approach will be positively changed forever."
~ Dick Lyles, author of Winning Ways
