hange today is so rapid that leaders are being
challenged to do a lot more than just stay the
course. The secret of staying nimble and able and
ready to adapt and survive, says internationally recognized
leadership expert John C. Maxwell, is learning to "leadershift."
In Leadershift, Maxwell shows leaders how they can gain
the skills and readiness to make leadership changes that
will enable them to keep innovating, improving, and
influencing others. He shares the eleven shifts he made
over the course of a successful leadership career. Each
shift changed his trajectory, setting him up for fresh
achievements while strengthening his leadership abilities
and bringing him wide recognition as a leadership expert.
The leadershifts include the Adaptive Shift from Plan A to
Option A, the Production Shift from Ladder Climbing to
Ladder Building, and the Influence Shift from Positional
Authority to Moral Authority.
Maxwell gives specific guidance for making each shift,
changing the way we think, act, and lead so that we can
remain successful in an ever-changing business world.
