Are you a charismatic leader? One way to find out is to answer this question: What are you leading toward? If you don’t know, then you’re merely a charismatic person with a leadership title - and we’re giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re charismatic.

This book does not focus on the interpersonal part of leadership. It doesn’t focus on how to be charismatic or vulnerable with your followers because there are thousands of books out there that address that essential topic. However, there are only a handful of books such as this that focus on the conceptual part of organizational leadership, i.e., the part of leadership no one talks about.

In this book, you will learn:

• Why your employees choose the behaviors they choose.
• Why your employees choose to follow you as their leader (or not).
• What motivates employees.
• How to recognize when a problem is a systems problem vs. a people problem.
• How to eliminate micromanagement in your organization.
• The conceptual part of leadership that results in the intrinsic motivation of your employees.

Mid-level leaders and executives in organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations, will learn how their leadership role has changed from being a first-level supervisor to now setting the direction of a division or setting the direction of the entire organization. You no longer tell the craftsman how many nails to hammer, or how many holes to drill; instead, your new focus is on getting results.

The responsibility of leadership is to visualize what can be, create a plan to make that vision a reality, and then lead to that destination. This book will give you the tools to do just that.
