Discovering the Leader in You
by Robert J. Lee
This book is based on a simple point: leadership roles should be filled by people who deliberately decide that they want to be in them. To that end, Discovering the Leader in You offers a unique system of self-discovery that clearly shows how you can attain the leadership position you want. Robert J. Lee and Sara N. King, who developed this approach from their experience at the widely renowned Center for Creative Leadership, help potential leaders examine development paths in the context of who they are as individuals. They show how you can connect your inner self to the demands of leadership by using a set of questions that will help you take your career in new directions. You'll gain deep insight into what leadership means to you personally as you retain more control over your career choices and, subsequently, achieve more personal success.

The Art of Framing
by Gail T. Fairhurst
Just as photographers create powerful images by framing each image with their lenses, effective leaders seize every conversation as a chance to help others see what they see. It is through countless everyday conversations - more than through big speeches or major presentations - that leaders help others make sense of events, explain the whys and wherefores of company decisions, secure commitments, and "reframe" the negative views of those who resist change. The Art of Framing demonstrates this kind of daily leadership in action. Communication and organization experts Gail T. Fairhurst and Robert A. Sarr analyzed hundreds of verbatim conversations between leaders and their direct reports to discover how the most effective leaders manage meaning. Looking beyond the world of business to politics, entertainment, sports, and education, the authors demonstrate that while even the best leaders cannot always control events, they can - and do - influence how events are seen and interpreted. The Art of Framing presents dozens of real-life examples to illustrate how leaders gain support for their vision and inspire prompt action in their constituents by skillfully using language to frame events, ideas, and goals at every opportunity. This book provides proven techniques for using simple yet powerful tools such as stories, metaphors, and visual images to help you.

Credibility
by Barry Z. Posner
"Leadership is personal. It's not about the corporation, the community, or the country. It's about you. If people don't believe in the messenger, they won't believe the message. If people don't believe in you , they won't believe in what you say. And if it's about you, then it's about your beliefs, your values, your principles."— from Credibility In this best-selling book, Kouzes and Posner (authors of The Leadership Challenge ), explain why leadership is above all a relationship, with credibility as the cornerstone. They provide rich examples of real managers in action and reveal the six key disciplines and related practices that strengthen a leader's capacity for developing and sustaining credibility. Kouzes and Posner show how leaders can encourage greater initiative, risk-taking, and productivity by demonstrating trust in employees and resolving conflicts on the basis of principles, not positions.
