Product description...

Leadership—Bridge the Theory-Practice Gap

Why does this book exist? To serve as a leadership primer, save you time, and be of assistance on your journey to be a better leader. Field-Marshal Montgomery defined leadership as the capacity and the will to rally people to a common purpose, and the character which inspires confidence. Leader’s Portable Handbook will boost your leadership capacity—your competence—and help clarify your thinking about character. In practice, theory and practice are not the same. There’s a lot of interesting-but-irrelevant leadership theory on bookstore shelves. Academic models and applied leadership should be interwoven. This Handbook is based on a leadership framework, supported by over a century of leadership and management theory, intuitively selected and vetted based on 30 years of the author’s leadership practice and experience. There are four features of the Handbook worthy of the back cover:

- Unified leadership framework—the four timeless and interrelated functions of leadership make up the book’s main parts

- 50 diverse summaries—condensed from 1,159 pages in 47 leadership masterworks

- Each summary of enduring value and interest—proven leadership ideas as applicable today, and tomorrow, as they were a century ago

- Prefatory overviews for each article—what’s worth reading is worth remembering
