Identity Leadership: To Lead Others You Must First Lead Yourself

Product Description

Become passionate, purposeful, and meaningful leader through identifying who you are, your desires, and your abilities.

Identity Leadership by Stedman Graham is a very personal and prescriptive guide that is based on the philosophy that you can't lead others until you can first lead yourself--the more you work on yourself, the more you can give to those around you. To know our purpose in life, we begin with our passions, skills, and talents, and with this book we learn how to channel the best of who we are to achieve success for ourselves and those we lead.

InIdentity Leadership, Graham takes the reader through a nine-step process designed to show them how to create and reshape their futures as Identity Leaders. The nine steps include:

2. Create Your Vision

3. Develop Your Travel Plan

4. Master the Rules of the Road

5. Step into the Outer Limits

6. Pilot the Seasons of Change

7. Build Your Dream Team

8. Win by a Decision

9. Commit to Your Vision

Self-leaders can create a roadmap that leads to personal growth, development, and improvement of performance in every area of life. Identity Leadership provides the tools needed to continually plan and execute learning and development of our talents and skills, enabling readers to commit to a personal vision and lead with purpose.

REVIEWS:

"Stedman Graham teaches the essence of leadership in his workshops. Leadership is not about product, but people and relationships. Stedman takes [people] to the next level in their careers by helping them to understand what is truly important to them. So many people operate without an idea as to where they are going. His programs put the individual in control of his or her career and life."
Jim Cimino, Executive Vice President, Regional Managing Director, Southwest Region - Wells Fargo

"Stedman is an artist with unique communication skills that so effectively helped reach these individuals on levels that possibly they have never previously experienced, and I believe that the candor, openness of communication, "tough talk," and practical discussion on their skill development will lead to remarkable maturation and an appreciation of greater personal accountability and for their personal development."
Mike Fox, CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center

"Skillfully challenged a very accomplished gathering to deal with their history and habits. A cathartic experience that suggested a deeper understanding of who you are provides a roadmap for the next steps in your journey. Deduced from the definition of leadership: Leaders with a servant's heart, that do not manage from above (who manage from their identity) will provide the most effective leadership in the 21st century."
Mark D. Settles, Managing Director, Fixed Income, JP Morgan Asset Management

"SG is one of today's leading authorities on emotional intelligence (Identity Intelligence). Seminars are highly effective because they make you focus on the true leader within yourself."
