Leadership at 43,000 Feet (ePub)

Anyone can be a leader. All they need is a title - a role, a 'position', right?

Well, no. The title 'leader' is ... just a title. True leaders don't need a title. They don't even need a role, much less a 'management position'. They just ... are.

So just what is it they have?

Whether we agree with them or not, the truly great leaders around the world have one thing in common: massive respect. They have flaws. They make mistakes, and often big ones, but lots of people follow them regardless. They have earned respect, they can influence. Others believe in them. They aspire to be like them. They feel safe with them. They have a kind of love for them.

But this book is not about copying others, It's about being a better you, treating others well and reaping the ultimate reward - esteem for you. This book is about learning how to earn it. It's about gaining wisdom. Remember, without others, there is no leader.

Chris Smith shares his decades of leadership experience in one of the most critical and high-stakes professions imaginable. It's about not wasting your one go on earth with what he thinks is the world's biggest problem - unnecessary and damaging argument - and most argument is. It simply stops good things from happening. This is book for anyone who has responsibility for others, or who aspires to, and for whom having lifelong influence and contributing magnificently to this experience we call is important.

That's leadership.

Dare to be different. Dare to be completely genuine. Learn lessons as never told before.
