Instead of just talking about what effective leadership should be, Dr. Long provides a visual model illustrating the components needed for organizations, companies, leaders, as well as those selecting leaders, to be able to improve through better leadership. The concepts in Leadership Tripod are a result of applying scientific principles and theories related to learning, decision-making and leadership processes so that executives can retrain their minds to be more effective in dealing with the challenges and emotional dynamics of leadership and organizational change inherent in the world of business. The book includes such practical tools as self-reflection and pre- and post-assessments of knowledge, skills and attitudes toward leadership as well as a leadership interview instrument.
