Do Lead

Real-world leadership is very different from all that the media would have us believe. Forget the dashing hero, true leadership is typically understated. It’s the myriad small things that make the big things possible. And we can all do it. In Do Lead , Les McKeown draws on his decades as CEO and senior advisor to demolish the myths around modern-day leadership – and provide new tools for the job. You’ll discover that effective leadership is goal - not people-oriented. It’s about the person with the right skills stepping forward. Find out: Your natural leadership style The essential toolkit and mindset How to improve group dynamics and foster inclusivity Strategies for dealing with setbacks and failures With scenarios from a range of industries, simple exercises and proven leadership techniques, Do Lead is an empowering guide to becoming a confident, respected and inspiring leader no matter what your position. 'When Les writes, I read. Don't be deceived by this book's diminutive size - it's like a rich, chunk of leadership fudge that you never want to end. This eye-opening, challenging, and encouraging book may be small, but it packs a big punch.' Steve McKee, Businessweek. com columnist and author 'If you don't think of yourself as a leader - think again. Les McKeown shows you how to be a great one. This is a must read for anyone who leads (or wants to lead) a company, team or group.' JJ Ramberg, Host of MSNBC's Your Business 'A thoroughly refreshing take on what real leadership is all about. It is not about heroics or headlines, it is about achieving real results in the here and now. It's short, to the point, and not to be missed.'
