Learning From Life: Turning Life’s Lessons Into Leadership Experience [EPUB ebook] 

If you were to ask managers and executives where they get the most influential and effective developmental training, the answer you’re likely to get is ’on the job.’ Too often, those same managers and executives discount what can be learned from experiences outside of work. CCL research demonstrates that activities that take place outside of the regular workday contribute to a leader’s effectiveness as a manager. This guidebook shows how to see those activities as opportunities for developing key leadership skills in such areas as interpersonal relations, communication, collaboration, and flexibility.
