Human beings are configured for optimum performance, but often we fail to reach our own rich potential. Consequently our personal resources lie unused and dormant. Successful leaders have always learnt how to make the most of important life skills. Long before the expansion of modern management techniques, leaders shaped our world by the use of personal strengths, the utilisation of personal resources, courage to take risks, and positive mental attitudes. The challenge to all of us is to develop and use our talents and abilities more effectively today than yesterday. During an average working life, many will have several different career moves. Employers will always be looking for personal strengths and resources and first impressions can be vital. If a prospective employee presents with these life skills they know that success will more surely follow. This book looks past the mechanics of training procedures and takes a more philosophical approach to the challenges of those who are called to lead others. It breaks leadership down into bite-sized pieces that will help you cope with the challenges of work, home and community service.
