Beverly A. Thompson & George B. Thompson 
Ready to Lead [EPUB ebook] 
Harnessing the Energy in You and around You

What makes the difference between those who aspire to lead and those who actually do it? What does anyone need to know about themselves and others, in order to be ready to lead? How might society benefit from persons who give time and energy to learn the skills of leadership readiness?

This book offers a lifelong resource for persons committed to improving their own personal effectiveness as a key step toward leading–in whatever the context, at whatever level. The concepts and terms in this book become tools that strengthen self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Exercises at the end of each chapter stimulate real-life learning, as one practices specific skills that create confidence in being ‘ready to lead.’
