Brain Patterson, Chairman, Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority; Chairman, Irish Times A comprehensive and practical guide which avoids the twin dangers of being either too simplistic or too theoretical. Tracy T Manning PhD, Senior Scholar, Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland As every manager knows, leadership isn't always easy. In many ways it's much easier to manage than to lead: management is largely about tasks and procedures, but leadership is as much about who you are and how you express that, as it is about what you do. That's probably why so much is written about the theory of leadership, and so little about how you actually do it. The Leadership Manual is the first practical reference guide for busy people that addresses finding your authentic leadership style and how you express this at work. It is for anyone wanting to develop their own leadership potential, including professionals, managers and entrepreneurs. It provides fast, practical information with suggestions, ideas and steps to encourage you to use your leadership ability in every situation you face. The Leadership Manual deals with the real issues faced by the majority of people at work today. It is based on a survey of 500 real managers, to find out what kept them awake at night, and what they struggled with during the day. The book is designed to help you through the daily challenges you face and encourage you to take the journey from manager to leader. It will help you understand others and enable you to develop their leadership potential too. Good leadership well practised is powerful beyond belief and can elicit results from people that straight management never can. It's a very worthwhile journey, for you and your career.
