Taking Action to Improve your Capacity for Leadership

TAKING ACTION TO IMPROVE YOUR CAPACITY FOR LEADERSHIP 

If this chapter causes you to identify deficiencies in leadership in yourself or in your company, there is still some good news. The ability to lead effectively is a skill that can be learned. It is a difficult skill that may require you to make some changes in the way you have become used to doing your job over many years. Our own experience is that progress can be made, and the results are worth the effort. We now turn to the leadership inventory, a series of questions to help you reflect on the leadership capabilities of you and yonr organization. This is not a validated survey, and the objective is not to see how your score compares to those of other leaders. Rather, it is a way to see where your strengis lie and discover areas of opportunity for improvement.
