Misled: Why (Almost) Everything We Learned About Leadership Is Wrong and How to Fix It

By Lawrence Coval

Book Overview

Effective leadership isn't what you think.

You've read the management books, attended the workshops, and sat through the seminars on effective leadership. Still, your people are disengaged. It's not your fault-you've been misled by an industry that offers the same old clich s in new, shinier packages . . . and the results suck. Until now.

Misled isn't a book of borrowed psychology from so-called armchair experts. Based on Lawrence Coval's forty years of experience leading people in technology and telecommunications, it reveals how any leader can build a foundation for capable and effective leadership in the real world. Coval has distilled his reflections on working in groups large and small into tangible guidance that anyone can adapt:

Understand why the most common leadership advice fails the reality test Recognize who you are as a leader through analyzing your leadership archetype Protect yourself from self-sabotage and mitigate negative behaviors Develop practical skills that reinforce how to put your people's success at the top of your priority list

Everyone deserves to be led well. With Misled, you can finally start.
