Many believe the key to leadership is having the right combination of tools, strategies, and personal qualities. But leadership is about mindset. Beliefs influence behavior, which directly impacts your culture and the growth and development (or not) of the people on your team. Only by shifting one’s beliefs can any leader effect real change.
The Leader-Shift Playbook outlines four mindset shifts for leaders that result in better performance and culture. Author and leadership coach Phillip B. Wilson reveals how simple changes to four key beliefs including (1) the impact you have, (2) your value and capabilities, (3) your trust in others, and (4) the potential of your relationships can lead to game-changing improvements. Based on in-depth research, decades of coaching experience that has transformed tens of thousands of leaders, and Wilson’s own hard-won lessons as a CEO, these leader-shifts will enable you to better connect with your team and contribute to a company culture where everyone feels encouraged to reach their highest potential.
Using the book's practical takeaways and exercises, you will learn how to effectively transform your relationships, connections, and impact. The most effective, positive, and sustainable leadership starts with a leader’s belief in their own potential and in the potential of everyone they lead, so make your leader-shift today!
