I'm sure you've heard the expression "he's or she's a born leader or possibly leaders are made not born." Well, which is it? Some people seem to be born with a God-given ability to lead others. While sometimes it seems the most unlikely people develop into exceptional leaders. The truth may be somewhere in between. Good leadership probably requires some of both. There are certain personality traits which seem to be present in successful leaders, but good leadership also requires knowledge, experience, and wisdom. There's a plethora of available leadership resources in the modern world with a variety of approaches to leadership. So why offer another one? What can this author offer that is not already readily available? The author's purpose in penning the words, which follow, is to provide a practical approach to leadership that rookie and veteran leaders alike can use every day in the office. The book deals with decision making, second guessing past decisions, relationship building, leadership discernment, receiving and giving criticism, communication, delegating responsibility, admonishing or disciplining, and conducting business meetings, and more. The book really is two-books in one. The author wrote the original 12 Chapters on leadership then complimented them by developing a Study Guide as an aid to help the reader better grasp the principles found in these pages. The Study Guide is divided into 12 sections and handily located between chapters.
