Improve Your Leadership Tool Kit.

Revisado: 11-12-19

I loved this book. It is part research synthesis, leadership paradigm, and memoir. The author combines his in-depth research and actual battle-tested experience to propose a paradigm of leadership that works for anyone interested in improving their leadership skill set. Great leadership is the combination of self-awareness, situational awareness, and the courage to act.
A leadership model is presented that consists of 4 domains: communication, adaptability, focus, and influence. Each domain represents a spectrum bounded on one side by an exclusive attribute and on the other by an inclusive one. An online assessment allows readers to determine where on each of the four domain spectrums he/she resides, based on self-reported tendencies.
Once readers are equipped with several receptive strategies to understand situational context, they are challenged to consciously move away from natural tendency towards actions that are situationally appropriate. This challenge is laced with hope: moving the fulcrum across the spectrum of each domain must be done with a focus on quality, not quantity. Fulcrum centric leadership is not chronic change towards a domain extreme, but a qualitative shift when tactically appropriate.
For emerging, high potential, or even reluctant leaders who find themselves promoted to leadership positions with minimal training, Mr. Lerario’s leadership paradigm is simple enough to understand and detailed enough to be useful.
