You Don't Need a Title to be a Leader: A Review

This 100 plus page book by Mark Sanborn tells How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference, how each of us can be a leader in our daily lives and make a positive difference, whatever our title or position.

Through the stories of a number of unsung heroes, Sanborn reveals the keys each one of us can use to improve our organizations and enhance our careers.

Genuine leadership-leadership with a “little l,” as he puts it- is not conferred by a title or limited to the executive suite. Rather, it is shown through our everyday actions and the way we influence the lives of those around us. Among the qualities that genuine leaders share:

·         Acting with purpose rather than being bogged down with mindless activity

·         Caring about and listening to others

·         Looking for ways to encourage the contributions and development of others rather than focusing solely on personal achievements

·         Creating a legacy of accomplishment and contribution in everything they do

I really enjoyed this book, and the stories Mark Sanborn uses to illustrate the points he makes are priceless.  Check with your local book store or follow this link to order this inspiring from Amazon.com
