Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A title can make you the boss. Only trust makes you a leader.In Really, You Think You Are a Leader?, Denis M. Baker challenges one of the most dangerous assumptions in business and organizational life: that having authority automatically makes someone a leader.It doesn't.Leadership is proven through behavior-how you communicate, listen, make decisions, handle pressure, correct performance, build trust, develop people, manage conflict, and respond when your own judgment is challenged.With a direct, practical, and sometimes uncomfortable approach, Baker helps readers move beyond simply thinking like a leader to actually becoming the kind of leader people respect, trust, and willingly follow.Drawing on real-world leadership situations and practical coaching principles, this book shows leaders at every level how to: - Earn influence instead of relying on position or authority- Build trust before difficult moments and organizational change- Communicate clearly and listen without becoming defensive- Hold people accountable without humiliating them- Make fair decisions without favoritism or ego- Coach employees toward stronger performance and greater responsibility- Navigate conflict, change, uncertainty, and leadership pressure- Recognize when the leadership problem may be staring back from the mirror- Develop other leaders instead of creating dependence- Build leadership practices that continue working when the leader is not in the roomWhether you are a first-time supervisor, experienced manager, executive, entrepreneur, team leader, educator, nonprofit leader, or someone preparing for greater responsibility, this book provides a practical roadmap for becoming more credible, capable, and influential.The book also includes a hands-on leadership development and training program with assessments, coaching exercises, difficult-conversation practice, crisis-leadership tools, decision frameworks, and a twelve-week leadership operating system that can be used individually or with an entire leadership team.Leadership is not proved by the title on your business card. It is proved by what happens to people, performance, and trust because you were there.So the question remains: Really, you think you are a leader?Then make your leadership worth following.
