Synopsis

Leadership.” - Excerpt from Nicole’s book.

Leadership: From Theory to Real-World Gold

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“It can be scary. It can be overwhelming. It can be immensely rewarding. What is this thing that can have people confused with conflicting emotions? What is it that everyone believes will instantly give them the status and power they desire yet inspires so little interest for learning the good, bad and ugly lessons? Leadership.” - Excerpt from Nicole’s book.

You can learn about leadership from academic theories, books, or from leadership consultants. However, the lessons that will drive all those theories home are the ones learned as you are applying them or observing others in the real world as a professional.

Leadership is an influence. Without leadership, we cannot progress as a race. The first responsibility of a leader is to define the reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

To quote Jesus Christ: “If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall in the ditch.”

That is why leadership is so important. Great leadership shapes nations, and aspiring leaders are definitely its driving force. It’s no wonder why true leaders are sometimes worshiped as demigods.

Are you tired of those “serious” leadership books based just on theory and nothing more? Meet Nicole F. Smith!

As she says in her book, “This leadership journey that I have been on for the past 20 years has been one of many smiles, much laughter, buckets of tears, and pockets full of golden nuggets. Some of these golden nuggets, 20 in particular, I have polished up to share with you.”

An amazing journey of leadership from the vantage point of a Gen X leader. In her book, Nicole shares her lessons learned while being stuck in the battle between millennials and baby boomers caught right in the cross-fire, for her presence in leadership for 20 years.

Practical lessons in a quick and easy read, combined with different leadership styles, with anecdotes and humor. That’s what you get from this wonderful book.

Help employees be the best version of themselves and help leaders to create a fulfilling legacy.

“A few shiny golden nuggets I have learned is that leadership takes heart. It takes bravery, and it takes courage.”

So take it!
