The whole brain leader : 8-dimensional approach

Description

"With the Whole Brain Leader Development Model as its foundation, this book describes the steps that leaders need to take to become Whole Brain Leaders. Whole Brain Leaders focus on their own development as well as on the development of their organization. They lead as coaches and apply the power of Whole Brain Thinking within and beyond their organizations. Becoming a Whole Brain Leader is the result of a process of horizontal as well as vertical leadership development. Horizontal leadership development is about improving skills and knowledge and vertical leadership development is about expanding your mindset and improving your way of thinking. This book presents four steps of development, and leaders at each stage of development can coach their colleagues in their unique development journey. This book helps you to translate your individual leadership to leadership as a process for your whole organization. You will be able to set up a transformation plan fit for your organization, and coach as a leader, engaging your team in a leadership process."--Provided by publisher.  Read more...
