The Lovable Leader

Summary

Become the leader people love to follow.

Have you noticed how broken our culture of work is? For too long, leadership has been defined by the bottom line, at the outrageous expense of the humans leading and being led. Obviously, results matter. But, now more than ever, leaders need to be so much more than a boss wielding the authority of a title to produce results.

The lovable leader knows that all people are capable of extraordinary things, that obstacles can empower you instead of limit you, and that your abilities combined with your choices give everyone you lead the opportunity to become a superhero.

In this essential playbook for new managers, you will learn principles and a powerful framework intended to guide you as a leader. It will teach you indispensable leadership skills, including how to:

• inspire your team to greatness while managing different personality types;


• set goals and hold people accountable for realizing them;


• create a safe work environment where loyalty, happiness, and productivity prevail;


• be respected and taken seriously by both your team members and your supervisors;


• and many more fundamental skills for excellence in your role

In The Lovable Leader, author, speaker, and strategist Jeff Gibbard offers an invaluable set of practical skills that will inspire people to follow you, make your organization a better place to work, and might just change the broken culture of work.
