Compelled To Lead: Developing Powerfully Authentic and Impactfully Generative Leaders - Relational Mentoring

By Dr. Steven L B Jones

Compelled to Lead explores, through narrated experiences, the real-life impact of identity development on the psychosocial maturity of everyday individuals who credit their elevation to the executive suite and other leadership positions to significant relationships - primarily one or two - with great leaders who saw something in them that they didn't see in themselves. Or perhaps before they saw it emerging in themselves. Self-awareness and self-efficacy - knowing who you are - will lead you to your purpose.

Consequently, Compelled to Lead argues for reimagining mentoring as a development tool that holistically shapes the individual and as the apprenticeship model of old, over time and through trust base relationships, models behavior in community that produces a contagious desire in the mentee to do the same for others. It is the secret sauce needed to turn struggling corporate leadership development initiatives from seasonal networking encounters to powerful succession funnels that prepare upcoming leaders to excel in today's flat, networked, cooperative organizations.
