"Over the past 20 years, my work in learning and development has helped to form my beliefs about leadership and management. Starting my own company 13 years ago and navigating the challenges of building a team and culture with limited resources helped meto translate theory into practice. It certainly wasn't always smooth sailing. Leading by Lifting is the distillation of those years of trial and error. It is based on the years of learning, failures and growth that have helped me move closer to what I strongly believe effective leadership is in these turbulent times. I have drawn from countless training sessions, coaching conversations, client meetings, and even from experimentation with my own company. I hope you see this book as a stepping stone to becoming a more effective leader and manager. But it's not just that. I hope this book provides you with a chance to reflect on your own purpose in life. Are you here to conquer or to uplift?"-- Provided by publisher.
