You're a Genius: Using Reflective Practice to Master the Craft of Leadership

Leadership is based in the craft of interacting with other people. This is a how-to book for learning the techniques of reflective practice in the action science / action inquiry tradition in order to develop and practice that craft. The book describes how to use various tools for off-line reflection and active experimentation in order to develop and practice the craft of leadership.

Steven S. Taylor studied both action science with Diana Smith and action inquiry with William Torbert while a doctoral student at Boston College. He took the Change Immunity Map facilitator course from Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey. Taylor has been teaching leadership using these various approaches to reflective practice since receiving his PhD in 2000. He has published chapters on this approach in all three editions of the Handbook of Action Research (2001, 2008, 2015).
