On Your Marks, Get Set… Lead! provides a framework for the journey business leaders need to take to become the people-leader their team would choose for themselves. Before beginning on this journey, it’s essential these first-time leaders understand what people-leadership actually is (and isn’t!) and how this differs from being a manager. They then need to actually make the choice to be a leader. This book shows first time leaders the steps to becoming a successful and knowledgeable leader by teaching them to learn about themselves, their workplace, their teachers and building some new learning tools, and to develop a coaching approach to leadership by transitioning from their previous position where they were the ‘expert’, to their leader role where they are now the ‘coach’. Leaders will learn about the five duties of leadership:
* Connecting with your team
* Focusing their team on what’s important
* Communicating with their team to build common understanding
* Developing their team to achieve their individual and team potential
* Resolving problems with their team so they can overcome challenges Throughout the book, author Anna Marshall shares useful mental models and relevant frameworks to deepen the first-time leader’s knowledge and understanding of people, teams and leadership. This knowledge will get them (and their teams) off to a flying start in their leadership journey and provide them with valuable resources they will refer back to again and again. Whether the readers work in a small business or a Fortune 500 company, On Your Marks, Get Set… Lead!, will help them nail their first people leadership role by inspiring their team and enabling them to flourish.
