Leading Beyond Your Presence

Becoming The Leader You Want to be Led By

Beschreibung

Where have all the trustworthy, credible, accountable leaders gone? Leadership today has been tarnished by entitled, selfish, unaccountable, untrustworthy individuals whose only agenda is to seek power, titles and positions. No venue has gone untouched, whether it be public, private or political. These leadership posers have created an environment that has precipitated diminished expectations, lowered standards and increased acceptance of a diluted version of leadership. Retired Ontario Provincial Police Chief Superintendent Robert M. Bruce, a decorated thirty-three-year veteran, shares his leadership journey by combining his extensive experience and observations as both a student of leadership and, more importantly, a practitioner. This senior police commander, coach, and corporate speaker provides a unique, insightful blueprint to leading beyond your presence, becoming the leader you want to be led by. Leading Beyond Your Presence is an authentic, no-nonsense approach to trustworthy leadership at the point of impact where it matters most, serving and inspiring others, engaging leaders with an immediate action plan that provides practical tools, strategic guidance and bona de examples to becoming an exemplary leader in any situation or circumstance, regardless of the leadership role. It challenges leaders to raise their standards, increase expectations and never again have people cornered into settling for anything less than the very best of their leaders. Leading Beyond Your Presence establishes that great leadership is attainable and necessary for those willing do the unceremonious preparation it takes to lead, while bringing to light the catastrophic consequences of accepting the status quo of leadership mediocrity. Leadership is an honour and privilege to those entrusted to lead; being worthy of that trust is a continuous journey. Leading Beyond Your Presence is an imperative vanguard on anyone's leadership journey.
