Do Lead: Share Your Vision. Inspire Others. Achieve the Impossible. (Do Books)

Product Description

Real-world leadership is very different from all that the media would have us believe. Forget the dashing swashbuckler, effective leadership is typically understated. It's the myriad small things that make the big things possible.

In Do Lead, Les McKeown demolishes the myths that have paralysed leadership in our modern era, then provides newt tools for the job. You'll discover that we can all lead. And what's more, we should. Because effective leadership is goal- not people-oriented. It's about the person with the right skills putting themselves forward. Find out:
The mindset required
The basic leadership toolkit
Techniques for dealing with the (inevitable) failures
Whether you are new to the game or reigniting a dormant passion, start leading from where you are, right now. And start to make a difference. You can lead. Yes, you.

REVIEWS

"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. Eye-opening, challenging, and encouraging."
Steve McKee, Businessweek.com columnist and author of When Growth Stalls and Power Branding

"Do Lead is an inspiring must-read that will have you re-examining everything you thought you knew about leadership. Instead of being a trait held by an elite group of individuals, you'll find that leadership is accessible to everyone."
Kate Marshall, Award-winning Speaker, Facilitator, Coach Building Business Athletes'

Les McKeown's latest book, Do Lead, is 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."
