The Journey of the Accidental Leader
HRD Press, Nov 2007, Pages: 122
You're looking around for a leader -- someone else to take charge -- when the responsibility to take action falls upon you. Here's a fictional story that will ensure you're up to the challenge of unexpectedly becoming a leader. This business parable describes an untimely death and the journey of the leader suddenly put in charge of a company. The story demonstrates some of the leadership lessons the author learned while with an organization that has trained some of the nation's most successful leaders -- the United States Marine Corps.
In 10 Chapters, Dr. Gladis elaborates on the meaning of these important lessons:
- No one knows what they're doing until they try.
- You get what you give.
- Build trust by character, competence, caring, commitment and consistency.
- Change isn't easy. But if you do it right, everyone wins.
- You have to have a vision to make it come true.
- To create a positive culture, show people by your actions what you believe in, don't just tell them.
- Leadership is about courage
- The long march begins with the first bold step.
- Change will happen--embrace it by sticking to your principles.
- Leaders have a passion for people.
Inspirational and motivational, this engaging story is full of insight and perspectives that will pave the way for both current and future accidental leaders.
