About this title

Synopsis

Leadership. It's like the "Cloud". Everyone talks about it but no one is really sure what it is, where it is , what it actually does or how to get it? There are thousands of books, courses, conferences, clinics, workshops and events about Leading and Leadership held all over the world each year and people spend thousands of dollars listening to and learning from Leadership experts who all claim to have "the" secret to the Leadership puzzle. And for the most part, the people sitting through those courses and conferences are wasting their time - and their money. "Leading Without Leading - At Last A Book That Shows You How to Lead by Not Doing It" is the first book on Leadership which aims to make itself obsolete! The aim of this book is to help everyone - kids, parents, coaches, teachers, managers, business-owners - everyone - to understand that anyone can - and should - learn how to lead - but that they don't need a training course or expensive program to show them how to. Leadership isn't something you buy. It isn't someone in a nice suit with large bright white teeth telling you how inadequate you are. And it's not someone boring you to death at a Leadership seminar with Power Point slide after Power Point slide full of pretty images and quotes from the great political and military Leaders of history. Leadership is simple. Be yourself. You Lead by being who you are and by Leading your way. Leadership isn't about being a great public speaker or a well credentialled MBA with the best education money can buy. It's as simple and as subtle as being who you are and inspiring change in others through honest, authentic, direct connection with them - human being to human being. There's so much rubbish written about Leadership. About how you've got to follow some mystical journey to self-discovery before you can lead. Or how some researcher has come up with a guaranteed to work - "Nine Steps to Effective Leadership" type program. Or how - by listening to the inspiring words and stories about other great leaders in history - you too can become the Leader you were destined to be! Total and utter complete jibberish and rubbish! Leading isn't anything more than you - being comfortable with who you are - and allowing yourself to quietly, subtly, directly and personally influence the attitudes and actions of others. In other words - you Lead - Without Leading. This book is full of ideas, information and inspiration to help you learn how to Lead by not actually doing it. Every chapter features a real life story detailing my direct, first hand experiences working with some amazing people all over the world and provides every reader with simple, relatable, practical ways of getting better at Leading and Leadership by - you guessed it - not actually Leading.
