LeaderShift: Making Leadership Everyone's Business

How would you like every person in your organization to share the responsibility of leadership? Highly sought-after management consultant Ken Carnes and perennial best-selling Monday Morning Leadership author David Cottrell have collaborated on an original, compelling and illuminating fable about a previously successful leader whose work life is unraveling right before his eyes and he doesn t understand why. Frustrated and at his wits end, Tod asks one of his old professors to provide him direction and encouragement. The professor invites him to sit in on six orientation sessions where the professor teaches his team a successful leadership philosophy called LeaderShift. The sessions serve as a timeless and potent reminder that success as a leader can come down to practicing a few shifts that will help create an atmosphere where any team can prosper.

LeaderShift is a gripping fable that serves as a timeless reminder that the foundation of leadership is not about power but rather truth, humility, and allowing others to take ownership for their success. It reinforces that long-lasting leadership requires as much courage as it does insight. The book s powerful yet deceptively simple message provides a solid foundation for conducting business in a new way one that aligns the organization around a common set of principles. LeaderShift provides inspiration and enlightenment to frontline leaders who have the courage to learn, the willingness to lead and the passion to share. If you are tired of books that lecture about theories; if you are searching for ways to improve your leadership skills; and if you want to become a leader who can have lasting and meaningful success, then LeaderShift is for you.
