Description
If you're an aspirational manager, how can you up your game, so that you become a great leader?
Many people get promoted because they are good managers. But when they get into a leadership role, they struggle. And in today's world, it's never been truer that what got you to being a good manager, won't necessarily provide you with the right tools to become a great leader.
The Mindset of Success is a guide to help your fill your potential. Award-winning leadership author, Jo Owen,
explains that extraordinary leaders are naturally able to transform, motivate teams and positively disrupt. Using real-world examples of inspirational leaders, he explains that what they all have in common is that they act differently because they think differently.
The third edition of this international bestseller identifies seven leadership mindsets common to all great leaders: high aspiration; courage; resilience; being positive; accountability; collaboration; focused on growth. And the good news is that all of these can be learnt.
There is a way which is guaranteed to help you go from being a good manager to a great leader. That's having the leadership mindset. This book will you show you how to develop it.
