Synopsis

Different adults learn in different ways.

While there are many models to explain these preferences, one that most of us can readily understand differentiates between adults who learn best by listening, doing or visualizing.

This book is for the visually oriented learners.

There are thousands of leadership books - yet great leaders aren't common - why?

Because just reading a book won't make you a great leader.

Becoming a better leader takes a great deal of work.

While there is no one perfect way for every leader, a time-tested method involves four steps.

1. Read an idea about leadership.
2. Reflect on how that idea impacts the manner in which you personally lead.
3. Write down those reflections.
4. Organize your written reflections into specific steps you can take to improve your leadership ability.

This book explains crucial aspects of transformational leadership and includes rich images to help you think about the ideas from multiple viewpoints.

More important, each aspect of transformational leadership has four self-reflection questions. These self-reflection questions will challenge you to:

1. Reflect on the best leaders you have known and what they did that made them so great.
2. Reflect on the times you personally exceled at these aspects of being a transformational leader.
3. Reflect on organizational barriers that limit your ability to be a better transformational leader.
4. Reflect on personal barriers that limit your ability to be a better transformational leader.

The book concludes with a series of syntheses reflections that will help you to develop an action plan that will help you become a more transformational leader beginning tomorrow.
