Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Are you ready to be a great leader? What does it take and what will people expect?

As a first time leader, do you really understand why you should try to lead and not simply manage? Do you have what it takes? Do you know what people expect?  Can you make it happen every day? With Get Ready To Lead you can as it demystifies leadership and offers you practical advice to help you as you first begin to think and then act like a successful leader.

This book

Focuses on leading, not managing as the core theme, but applies this to the more junior management levels within organizations. Translates a complex topic into an easy to follow guide, which avoids a sound-bite approach to leadership development and incorporates detailed discussions of how to do it in practice. Supports the reader continuously, through the provision of practical examples, exercises and clear action steps where appropriate, culminating in an end of book personal action plan.

First time leaders face the greatest leadership challenges on a day to day basis. Make sure you#146;re prepared for the demands expected and know how to work them to the best advantage with this ultimate "how to" management guide.

Includes index.
