Sometimes you are forced to lead without a title. Being an Unexpected Leader is about recognizing and filling a need when you are committed to achieving a goal!
Rising to a position of leadership is both a choice and a journey. Not all great leaders seek leadership from the beginning, and not all who seek leadership are prepared for the demands involved
The Unexpected Leader is an excellent resource for all types of leaders, from the new leader who is working to develop an effective leadership style, to the long-time leader who has grown complacent over the years-and everyone in between.
This is a powerful parable that teaches you how to lead positively... from wherever you are. The men’s basketball team from a small private high school finds itself struggling through a dreary season, when their coach is called away...
Enter a wise and mysterious janitor, who not only accepts the reins of leadership for the team during that absence, but becomes a mentor to a talented young man named Matthew.
The Unexpected Leader also addresses how to recover quickly when failure happens-and how to prevent mistakes from becoming obstacles to long-term success." - K. Vandever
Written in the form of a short, engaging tale, The Unexpected Leader illustrates how different leadership styles affect a team, and how one can become a more effective leader by following a simple five-step process.
