Learning Leadership – The Five Fundamentals of Becoming an Exemplary Leader
Autor JM Kouzesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iun 2016
James M. Kouzes and Barry Z. Posner have written a new book that examines a fundamental question: How do people learn leadership? How do they learn to become leaders?
Learning Leadership: The Five Fundamentals of Becoming an Exemplary Leader (ISBN: 978–1–119–14428–1; Wiley; May 2016) is a comprehensive guide to unleashing the inner–leader in us all and to building a solid foundation for a lifetime of leadership growth and mastery. The book offers a concrete framework to help individuals of all levels, functions, and backgrounds take charge of their own leadership development and become the best leaders they can be. Arguing that all individuals are born with the capacity to lead, Kouzes and Posner provide readers with a practical series of actions and specific coaching tips for harnessing that capacity and creating a context in which they can excel., Supported by over 30 years of research, from over seventy countries, and with examples from real–world leaders, Learning Leadership is a clarion call to unleash the leadership potential that is already present in today s society.
According to Kouzes and Posner, Leadership makes a significant difference in levels of engagement and commitment and is perhaps the most important asset in every organization, yet recent research points to a shortage of leaders. It is a serious global concern. The world needs more exemplary leaders in order to promote high–performing workplaces and inspire feelings of greater self–worth and meaningfulness. The shortage, however, is not because of the lack of potential talent. The people are out there, the eagerness is out there, and the capability is out there. The shortage results from prevailing myths myths about talent, strengths, position, self–reliance, and effort that inhibit the vast majority of leaders from shining and organizations from realizing the full benefits of the talent they already have.
Learning Leadership provides readers with evidence–based strategies to ignite the habit of continuous improvement and the mindset of becoming the best leaders they can be. Emerging leaders, as well as leadership developers, internal and external coaches and trainers, and other human resource professionals will learn from first–hand stories and practical examples so that they can deeply understand and apply the fundamental for becoming the best leaders they can be.
Learning Leadership: The Five Fundamentals of Becoming an Exemplary Leader is divided into digestible bite–sized chapters that encourage daily actions to becoming a better leader. Key takeaways from the book include:
- Believe in Yourself. Believing in oneself is the essential first step in developing leadership competencies. The best leaders are learners, and they can t achieve mastery until and unless they truly decide that inside them there is a person who can make and difference and learn to be a better leader than they are right now.
- Aspire to Excel. To become an exemplary leader, people have to determine what they care most about and why they want to lead. Leaders with values–based motivations are the most likely to excel. They also must have a clear image of the kind of leader they want to be in the future and the legacy they want to leave for others.
- Challenge Yourself. Challenging oneself is critical to learning leadership. Leaders have to seek new experiences and test themselves. There will be inevitable setbacks and failures along the way that require curiosity, grit, courage, and resilience in order to persist in learning and becoming the best.
- Engage Support. One can t lead alone, and one can t learn alone.It is essential to get support and coaching on the path to achieving excellence. Whether it s family, managers at work, or professional coaches, leaders need the advice, feedback, care, and support of others.
- Practice Deliberately. No one gets better at anything without continuous practice. Exemplary leaders spend more time practicing than ordinary leaders. Simply being in the role of a leader is insufficient. To achieve mastery, leaders must set improvement goals, participate in designed learning experiences, ask for feedback, and get coaching. They also put in the time every day and make learning leadership a daily habit.
Kouzes and Posner offer unrivaled insights into what it means to become an exemplary leader in today s world with their original research and over 30 years of experience studying the practices of extraordinary leadership. They show that anyone can become a better leader if they believe in themselves, aspire to excel, challenge themselves, to grow, engage the support of others, and practice deliberately. Learning Leadership challenges readers to do the meaningful and disciplined work necessary to becoming the best they can, using a new mindset and toolkit that can make extraordinary things happen. It s not the once–in–a–while transformational acts that demonstrate leadership. It s the little things that one does day in and day out that pave the path to greatness.

Juana Bordas, best–selling author, award winning book Salsa, Soul, and Spirit: Leadership for a Multicultural Age We all talk about leadership as a journey and I believe Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner just provided us with the map.

Susan Luchey, Leadership and Career Consultant; Directs Leadership Program, University of Delaware "The conversational and optimistic tone of Learning Leadership belies the serious leadership culture shift that Kouzes and Posner highlight in this rich addition to the leadership bookshelf. Readers are invited to evaluate their capacity to lead and that of those around them in the context of upending the social belief that only certain individuals belong in the leadership pipeline. The growth–and–the–greater–good mindset the authors emphasize for preparing everyone to lead is an easy and welcome mantra to embrace.

Kouzes and Posner offer a perfect combination of hard facts and analysis derived from deep research and anecdotes that are both practical and relatable. They don′t focus on the one–in–a–billion success stories of celebrity entrepreneurs and business people that are often rooted in inapplicable circumstance– instead they make leadership development tangible, sharing stories from everyday people, making their sage advice more achievable.

Aaron McDaniel, Millennial Expert, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and Author of The Young Professional′s Guide Series "It′s time to stop looking outside for answers, to wake up to the divine brilliance that each of us represents. Life is too short to be a follower of someone else′s dream, to keep playing small by giving away our power. It′s up to each of us to lead, to smash through the threshold of fear and to rise up and make our mark in our own unique way. With Learning Leadership , Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner have created an excellent road map to help us on this journey, offering practical tips and examples to help you realize your innate greatness." Ruairí McKiernan, award winning social entrepreneur and Presidential appointee to Ireland′s Council of State "How many times do people get told they simply "aren′t a leader"? More often than not, it′s because there′s one mold that we′re trying to fit people into. But leadership comes in all shapes and forms, and needs this multitude. It needs the onlyness –– that unique perspective born of your history and experience visions and hopes that only you can bring. This book shows you how." Nilofer Merchant, former Apple, and high tech executive and entrepreneur; Winner of Thinkers50 award of Future Thinkers; the #1 person in the world most likely to influence the future of management in both theory and practice. It has always been valuable to bring Jim and Barry s work to my students and young leaders. With Learning Leadership , they continue to impress, giving new insights, captivating stories, and practical tips, ultimately revitalizing our perceptions of what it means to be a leader, helping others to grow and to learn, and discover exactly what leadership is and how to achieve it. Bill Shannon, former Executive, Duke Clinical Research Institute Learning Leadership is another jewel from leadership gurus Kouzes and Posner. Whether you are a new leader or have many years of experience, I guarantee you will find valuable development ideas for you and your organization in this book. Steve Skarke, President, The Kaneka Foundation Learning Leadership is like having your own personal leadership coach. Or make that coaches. Top leadership thinkers Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner distill thirty years of hands–on research into a book so filled with practical tips that you re guaranteed to become a better leader.
