Leadership isn’t what you think it is.

First, leadership and authority are two different things. That means that anyone can lead, and leadership starts with you and must engage others. Leadership is mobilizing people to make progress on complex challenges. Helping, motivating and inspiring people to change is what leadership is about. Because when everyone leads, we untap the full potential to solve the toughest challenges.

In Your Leadership Edge, Ed O’Malley and Amanda Cebula provide a practical, comprehensive guide designed to help you hone the behaviors, attitudes and mindset necessary to create lasting impact for yourself, your organization and your community. The book describes four competences―Diagnose Situation, Manage Self, Energize Others, and Intervene Skillfully―and dives deeply into each one with a list of skills and tactics that can help you lead anytime, anywhere.

Ed O'Malley is the president and CEO of the Kansas Leadership Center. A former state legislator and gubernatorial aide, Ed founded the Kansas Leadership Center in 2007.

Amanda Cebula is an Adjunct Instructor at Kansas State University. She served as the director of project development and business development at the Kansas Leadership Center from 2012-2017.
