You’re busy. Too busy to attend seminars and workshops on leadership; too busy to keep up with so many books and blogs on leadership thinking. Relax, take a deep breath and savor this first book in The Leadership Mints Series and refresh your feeling for leading in time-sensitive,convenient format. Five minutes is the average reading time for each of these 77 short stories on leadership principles called Leadership Mints. Savor a Leadership Mint, a 5-minute story that personalizes leadership principles. Consumed like a breath mint –quick and on-the-go—a Leadership Mint is easily spooned, quickly digested and immediately invigorating. THINKING Like a Leader features 77 LEADERSHIP MINTS filled with examples from business, sports and politics on: Creating, Concentrating and Collaborating like a leader. Leadership Mints are often served at staff meetings, especially by busy leaders seeking a convenient and time-sensitive tool to foster professional development in general and leadership skills in particular. Invest a few minutes of reading for a lifetime of leading. Many team leaders purchase multiple copies of Leadership Mints to share like the candy mint variety to energize and stimulate their team’s thinking on issues ranging from mentoring (Mint 44) to partnering (Mint 49). In addition, leaders also leverage the lessons learned during a 5-Minute Leadership Mints Break that facilitates on-going feedback with their direct reports. Surveys show the lack of regular feedback is the top complaint employees lodge when they look for greener pastures. Of course as a leader, you’d like to provide more regular feedback and concerned coaching. But when you are putting out so many fires every day who has time for fire prevention? Consider this book your fire prevention kit to keep your team’s talents burning brightly without burning you out. Using this fire prevention kit for five minutes at weekly staff/team meetings, you and your team will no longer dread the annual review process that is so often irrelevant and/or distorted by the time you and your team members look back over the last 12 months (or more). That’s because you and your direct reports will be well positioned as Annual Reviews continue to morph into more timely, ad-hoc, on-going, one-on-one discussions between leaders and their direct reports. Updated and revised, THINKING Like a Leader is a relaunch of the book previously published under a different title: LEADERSHIP MINTS, 101 Bite-Sized Ideas to Energize Yourself & Others.
