Almost all of them treat leadership as if “one size fits all”: as if leadership skills were “one trick pony” skills that can be applied across any circumstance. Nothing could be further than the truth. Leadership genius depends on your ability to recognize the setting you are leading in. Are you leading a team? Leading one person? Leading yourself? Leading an entire organization? Leading an alliance? Who, what, when, and where you lead determines how you should lead. This book presents a detailed, practical, and skill-based framework any leader can use to become dramatically more effective. Another aspect of leadership genius is realizing that within each setting, or context, a leader must also be able to adapt to a wide variety of scenarios. The authors show you how to bring your best to bear in any circumstance, and in every facet of the leadership process: envisioning, initiation, and implementation. From start to finish, this book addresses both the high-level and ‘micro’ skills that define leadership genius—guiding readers systematically through assessing their current behaviors and moving toward excellence.
That framework exists. It’s called Contextual Leadership. This book will help you master it, and put it to work. You’ll discover high-level and “micro”-level techniques you needto achieve breakthrough effectiveness. You’ll practice them, internalize them, make them yours. This bookdraws on more than forty years of research, and the extraordinary personal experience of three renowned leadership consultants—all alumni of the legendary Ken Blanchard Companies. Its techniques are tested. Proven. They’re not a quick fix. But, as thousands of leaders can tell you, they work. Reviews “This is not one of those leadership books to be scanned and tossed aside. Instead, it is a special book that deserves to be closely read and then kept nearby so that you can draw upon it again and again as you seek to lead effectively.” —David Gergen, Professor, Harvard’s Kennedy School, Director, Center for Public Leadership “Drea, Susan, and Dick are three of the nation’s most innovative, perceptive, and gifted management thinkers. Their book, Achieve Leadership Genius, is an exceptional tour de force against which all books brave enough to tackle the critical issue of leadership must be judged.” —Sheldon Bowles, Best-selling Co-author, Raving Fans, Gung Ho!, and High Five “A gem! One of the first books I’d recommend to a novice or champion if they want to learn about improving the lives they lead and make the journey to leadership mastery.” —Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Management, University of Southern California, author of On Becoming a Leader
