Publisher Description: Throttle Up Brings Leadership Thought and Practice into the 21st Century LEADERSHIP CAN BE anything one says it is--that is until a person or group has to do something complex with it. For the most part, leadership development remains an exercise of the abstract ostensibly possessed by the heroic or gifted few and disconnected from the multifaceted real-world challenges of everyday life. Throttle Up represents a departure from the traditional perspective in which leadership resides in the traits or behaviors of individuals in leadership roles. Instead, Throttle Up asserts that leadership in the 21st century is a practice to be learned-proving there is a difference between being a "leader" and "doing" leadership. However, leaders of organizations are prone to repeat yesterday's news because they are looking for leadership in the wrong place. Throttle Up explains how and why traditional leadership development initiatives are going nowhere fast. To accelerate a transition to 21st-century leadership practices, Throttle Up offers seven "how-to" methods to accelerate the impact of leadership training in organizations. These action-oriented 21st-century leadership practices include: - How to complete a strategic thinking session |
