Leadership Upgrade : 10 Keys to Become the Leader Your World Is Waiting For

Whatever your leadership role, there is always another level to how well you can lead.

Whether you're leading a team, an organisation, at home or in your community, your ability to create positive change depends on more than experience, authority or good intentions.

Great leadership begins with who you are, what you stand for, how you influence others and how you respond when leadership becomes difficult.

Leadership Upgrade explores ten characteristics that can help you strengthen how you lead and increase the positive impact you have on the people and world around you.

Discover how to:

• Lead with integrity and build the consistency that earns trust
• Develop a conviction of purpose that gives your leadership direction
• Create and communicate a vision worth pursuing
• Build strong relationships that enable you to connect with and influence others
• Develop the persistence to keep moving when leadership becomes difficult
• Lead for legacy by building something that continues beyond your involvement
• Embrace selfless service and make leadership about more than yourself
• Develop a pioneering spirit that challenges comfort, stagnation and the status quo
• Apply breakthrough thinking to expand what's possible
• Practise self-governance and learn to lead the most important person you will ever lead — yourself

Drawing on leadership research, real-world examples and lessons from leaders across business, government, community and history, Leadership Upgrade explores not only what effective leaders do, but who they need to become.

Practical questions and self-assessments throughout the book will help you examine your own leadership, identify opportunities for growth and turn what you learn into action.

This is a book for people who want to lead better — whether you're an experienced leader, stepping into greater responsibility, or simply determined to make a positive difference wherever you have influence.

Because leadership isn't defined by a title.

It is demonstrated in the choices you make, the example you set and the difference your leadership makes to others.

If you're ready to strengthen your leadership and make a greater impact, it's time for your Leadership Upgrade.
