WOM2106. Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead Well in All Directions

Most leadership development focuses on a single direction within the organizational hierarchy: downstream to subordinates. While it is important to be a good boss, leadership is much more than that. The best leaders learn to lead well in all directions: upward to their superiors and across among their peers. And all leadership starts with self-leadership. This often overlooked or misunderstood leadership principle is essential to build a thriving and productive organizational culture. This topic is based on Jon's new book, Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead Well in All Directions, published in April 2021.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the 2 R's of leadership and how they shape your leadership style.
• Determine the leadership behaviors essential to lead well in all directions.
• Distinguish how to show up as your best self and deliver your best value in every leadership situation.
