“Lead by Example takes a unique approach to leadership. While most books on leadership focus on the ‘me’ aspect of leadership—how can I be a great leader— Lead by Example offers pragmatic, actionable advice that pinpoints the real power source of great leaders, namely the people that are inspired to ‘follow’ them. Lead by Example will quickly become a must read.”

— Gary Beach, Publisher Emeritus, CIO Magazine

“In a world plagued by headlines of leadership missteps, here’s a book that speaks to how effective leaders are getting it right.”

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Taking over the top job, whether it’s the CEO of a company or the manager of a department, is never easy. When done the right way, it results in inspired leadership; when done the wrong way, it can lead to disaster. To be effective, the people in charge must give their team a reason to believe in their talents and their ability to get people to work together. Great leadership requires decisiveness, authority, conviction, compassion, and, most important, the ability to set the right example. It would seem easy, but it takes a lifetime of trying to put it into practice. In Lead by Example, recognized leadership guru John Baldoni reveals the traits and abilities leaders need to know to inspire others to follow them.

Filled with examples of visionary leaders who have overcome their shortcomings and achieved greatness, Lead by Example will show readers how to build trust, drive results, and win the respect of the people they lead.
