The Leadership Workout Brenda Van Camp-Elmes

Much like physical fitness, leadership capabilities need to be continuously worked on if you want to develop new skills and maintain existing ones. Leadership is not a static skill set learned one day and then relied upon and applied for the rest of your career. The Leadership Workout therefore provides you with a 31-day framework to purposefully direct and regularly review your leadership through daily reflection and practice, helping you to refine and further develop your leadership. One facet at a time, one day at a time. For this book to have a real impact on your leadership effectiveness we strongly recommend to not to just read one reflection a day but to actually spend a few minutes each day working through the daily leadership practice which accompanies each reflection. Because only when you connect these reflections to your own experiences as a leader will you gain insights on how you might improve your leadership. Otherwise it will just remain a lot of talk about abstract concepts and it won't have any impact on how you show up as a leader each day. Though we're not going to proclaim that miracles will happen to your leadership effectiveness overnight, we're fairly certain that by the time you get to day 31 you will most likely have made some significant improvements to your leadership effectiveness, resulting from a combination of several small tweaks and perhaps one or two big shifts as a result of one or two real AHA moments driven by these daily reflections and practices.
