How Can You Become the Boss traces the trajectory of knowledge, skills, and disposition beginning with the ones needed to lead oneself through to leading others to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to lead themselves, and ultimately, using that knowledge, those skills, and dispositions for leading an organization to transformation.
The goals is being able to lead a party of one before assuming that one can lead others. Leading an organization means transformation into more of what the organization was intended to be by its vision and mission.
Leaders develop a personal vision and mission, use the 168 hours a week that everyone has to produce a result, hold a problem-solving frame of mind, cultivate a desire to learn, and productively use self-talk. Ultimately these leaders foster a team approach through a culture of participantship. They regard leadership as an action rather than a position. They see the future of leadership as collective, lateral, and integral and work with others from an abundance mentality. These leaders move forward in learning, using neuroscience findings to promote actions grounded in brain research and assuming responsibility as a way of being for the organization.
