Leaders Are Born To Be Made
Bryan DeptulaProven High-Reward, Low-Risk Ways To Make Executives And Managers Better Leaders
It takes a lifetime of learning to lead. But who has time to wait for that? Most managers werenʼt born knowing how to lead, who leaders are, or what leaders really do. Todayʼs leaders must relearn how to lead because the pandemic transformed the workplace, challenging everything we thought we knew about leadership. Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing business, and neuroscience-based leadership development is offering powerful new methods to grow effective leaders. This book addresses todayʼs challenges and presents scientifically proven, high-reward, low-risk strategies to build ʻLeader M.U.S.C.L.E.ʼ—helping executives and managers become better leaders in the post-pandemic world.
