The Leadership Continuum Theresa Hoffman

The Leadership Continuum: How Flexing across the Seven Facets of Leadership Increases Effectiveness can help aspiring leaders grow and develop, and can help experienced leaders become even more effective. This book is different from others because it walks the reader through when and how to most effectively employ the key facets of leadership, with many real-life examples. The book is written in an encouraging and relatable tone with insights from the authors' decades of experience. The Leadership Continuum describes seven key facets of leadership and how each facet is actually expressed across a continuum, which a leader needs to understand and have the ability to move across (adjusting their style of approach), depending on the leadership situation. The book contains a self-assessment section, in which readers can assess their natural tendencies and then review the optimal leader response and rationale. The assessment section enables the reader to discover their own stylistic biases or blind spots and identify where to focus their development work. Finally, the recommendations section is where readers can learn the "when" and "how" for improving their ability to move fluidly across the continuum for maximum effectiveness.
