They Don't Build Monuments Honoring Managers: Observations on Leadership and Education's Role in the Workplace - Softcover
Synopsis
Are You Managing or Are You Actually Leading?
What separates a capable manager from a leader people genuinely want to follow?
Drawing on more than four decades in business, sales, management, and leadership development, Roger W. Smith offers a practical, experience-driven examination of what effective leadership actually looks like, and why it can be learned.
At the heart of They Don’t Build Monuments Honoring Managers are the Nine Traits of Effective Leaders: innovation, values, people focus, clear communication, earned trust, genuine follower-ship, integrity, developing future leaders, and the courage required to put them all into practice.
But this is more than a book about leadership skills. Smith explores how leaders shape workplace culture, develop people, navigate change, confront difficult situations, and turn organizational values into everyday actions. It is an invitation to rethink leadership, responsibility, influence, and the legacy leaders leave. He also makes a compelling case for continuous education as one of the most important investments an organization can make in its people.
For anyone who leads today or hopes to lead tomorrow, this book offers an important challenge:
Are you simply managing what already exists, or are you becoming the kind of leader worth following?
