Do you want to be a good Leader?
You can become one, and this is how:
7 Principles of Becoming a Leader is the only book of its kind: It is the one book to guide you through everything you need to know and do to become a good and respected leader, no matter where you start from.
The book starts from the very beginning of your leadership development journey and gives you a complete step-by-step plan for becoming a good leader and building a successful career:
- Professional development: Personal excellence, productivity, and time management
- Leadership development: Mindset and essential leadership skills
- Personal development: Your motivation, character, and confidence as a leader
- Career management: Plan your career, get promoted and paid well
- Social skills and networking: Work and connect with the right people
- Business- and company understanding: The big picture
- Commitment: Make the decision and commit to becoming a great leader
There has never been a clear rulebook for becoming a leader at your work and building a successful management career. For most people it all seems to be mainly based on luck, some previous education and experience or even just whims of your bosses, rather than something you can actually control by yourself.
However, there is an ocean of essential knowledge, insights, and strategy needed to become a leader and build a successful leadership career. This information is not taught in traditional leadership books or schools, and it is scattered around dozens of different sources or locked inside of the minds of the established leaders who already made it.
Those few who have access to this information are the ones succeeding on their careers and usually end up becoming leaders and managers quickly at their work. If you are one of the lucky ones, having all this information on your hands is like having a clear map to success: You only need to follow it, and you will always be a few steps ahead of everyone else and good things will inevitably gather on your path as you lead the way.
7 Principles of Becoming a Leader's sole purpose is to change all that. It decodes all the leadership development and career building secrets to clear actionable principles available for everyone. Even if you do not have any previous leadership experience, education or support of an experienced mentor, the book will be your guide through every step on your journey to becoming a strong leader who is in control of their work, career, and life.
Are you a new manager or leader? Being a good leader requires much more than a few leadership skills and management tactics. True leadership starts from the very foundations of your identity, from who you are, why do you do things, and how you feel about yourself. Only when you know your answers and can lead yourself, you are ready to lead other people and become great at it.
On top of teaching how to become a leader, the book provides a comprehensive toolbox of the most important leadership and management skills for every new manager or leader. With these tools you can lead with confidence as you know exactly what to do and what mistakes to avoid in your new position.
