This is the second of a 2 book release around ‘Leveraging Your Leadership Style’. If we believe that FIRSTS pave the way for others, then studying women through the ages who were significant FIRSTS should help enlighten us with hope and inspiration that women can achieve great things given time, patience and above all, determination. In this small but targeted study, two hundred and two (202) women have been identified for their amazing achievements across the centuries. Through this study, there is no doubt that, as far back as 1500 BC, women have proven themselves to be great and capable leaders. As with many famous and accomplished men, some have led wars while others have promoted peace. Some are brilliant and vivacious, while others are shy and humble. They are all unique and unconstrained by the boundaries of sex, culture, politics, or religion. Although the study is not exhaustive, it attempts to identify and analyse many significant FIRSTS, through a series of structured activities, to achieve the following: 1. To understand what it takes to be the FIRST. 2. Identify key attributes, motivation, and commitment required. 3. Ability to discover and channel your passion, leadership goals and milestones and incorporate them into an effective, sustainable, and evolving Development Plan (considering future trends towards 2050).
Becoming a more effective leader is a lifelong journey. We read books, attend courses, get advice from mentors, and learn from experience by doing what feels right in the moment. While each of these strategies is helpful, they don't always take into account the simple truth that changing ourselves in fundamental ways is usually unrealistic and impractical.In the same way that we often have genetic predispositions to certain diseases, you as a leader are probably predisposed to certain personality and character traits. Unfortunately, these predispositions may at times interfere with your ability to be truly effective. Despite this reality, you can make changes in your work environment to override your predispositions and enhance your leadership effectiveness and impact. Just as you can incorporate new eating habits and exercise routines to help minimize your chances of getting a certain disease, you can incorporate changes in your work environment to help you be more impactful. This book provides you with practical and pragmatic techniques and strategies for change, most of which can be implemented immediately and require little or no organizational resources-and most importantly, no major (and almost impossible) personality transformation. We know from experience that making even the slightest environmental change can have a major positive impact, create a more motivational climate, and help you to be viewed as the leader you want to be.If you are an aspiring leader, a mid-level manager, or a seasoned executive looking for a fresh perspective on things and a simple yet powerful set of tools to enhance your leadership effectiveness, it's time to get started and outsmart your leadership genes.
Within every human being, there is a powerful force that lies dormant until it is brought out by something or someone. I call this force the leadership gene. Every human being has a primal instinct to survive and flourish from the moment they are born until the moment they choose to do something or not with that instinct. REVIEWS FOR THE LEADERSHIP GENE: "What a superbly distinguishing contribution this volume is to the literature on leadership! The book The Leadership Gene by John DiCicco is a modern-day classic of extraordinary quality and validity. The content and style of the book is on the cutting edge of leadership development, both in theory and practice. "I enthusiastically recommend this book for in service and preservice leadership training programs. Leaders in corporate and public service organizations, as well as universities would find this book to be a most valuable and significant tool at all levels of the leadership training spectrum. It is a powerful book indeed!" —Robert L. Heichberger, PhD, award-winning author, distinguished professor-director emeritus of leadership, SUNY Fredonia and Capella University "Some say leadership cannot be learned. John DiCicco’s approach in this wonderful new book suggests we can all be better people first and ultimately achieve leadership success. He presents a winning formula for people in all walks of life." —Jordan Rich, Chart Productions, Inc. WBZ Radio "I enjoy the story telling style the author uses to help us all find our own Leadership Gene. It makes it easy for me to understand the message which is we all have leadership capability. It may be seen by others around us first, but in order for us to find our own, we must be willing to make changes, accept and understand them. This book will help you do that. Happy reading." —Patricia M. Comeau, Human Resources Reebok International Ltd. "In my profession it is important to be disciplined, dedicated to your craft and most of all goal oriented. At the end of each chapter John presents us with leadership lessons designed to help us continuously develop ways to improve our leadership skills. His book over and over again emphasizes the fact that leaders never stop learning and there is always room to grow." —Peter Rappoli, MS, CCS, CSCS, Owner of Elite Health and Fitness Center “The ilk of a true leader denotes that he/she is strong, determined and humble; always willing to learn from all sources. As well, a leader at ties must have the ability to show empathy, sympathy, care and respect. That being said, I appreciate professor DiCicco’s visionary work as it provides knowledge and brilliant insight on developing the leader within you.” —William G. Gross, Boston Police Superintendent-in-Chief
Traditionally, leaders of organizations have tried to gain a competitive advantage by focusing on talent, experience, and incentives, assuming that if they attract the most gifted and experienced individuals and incentivize them properly, the organizations they lead will succeed at the highest level. However, as Harker observes, these assumptions have not stood the test of time. Effort regularly trumps talent; experience, at times, is nothing more than more of the same; and, surprisingly, incentives may actually reduce performance. Citing new developments in psychology and organizational research, Harker proposes an exciting new alternative, claiming everyone has the capacity to lead well. A leader's legacy is not predicated on how much he does or how smart she is; rather, it is determined by his or her leadership insight-the capacity to develop others. Leadership Insight shares Harker's vision for a better world-a vision catalyzed by leaders who focus their efforts on creating a positive climate that inspires grit, success, and well-being.
