Millions of managers in today’s global economy—16 million in the U.S. alone—steer firms toward greatness or failure. Which way depends on the manager’s skill. Too often, bosses are turned loose without a roadmap, only to discover the traits that launched them to the top now block their success. So, how do you quickly become the manager who gets things done and people want to follow? How do you recognize what’s holding you back and affecting your relationship with your team?
Identifying common themes, Sabina Nawaz has developed a proven system that not only pinpoints exactly where and when bosses can most easily fall off track, but also offers strategies to course-correct. These time-tested strategies help managers anticipate the unavoidable hazards of leadership without changing who they are. Her myth-busting stories and data reveal the leadership secrets of highly successful managers that anyone at any level can use to succeed.
“Sabina Nawaz breaks the mold for leadership in this exciting new book, giving us tools to align our style with our intent. Whether you’re stepping into a big new role or striving to refine your abilities as a leader, this book is your essential companion on the path to elevated success, impact and contribution.” —Stephen M. R. Covey, New York Times bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and Trust & Inspire
