Mission-Critical Leadership
Jon Lokhorst
What’s Your Mission?
Typical leadership development focuses on a single direction: downstream in the organizational hierarchy. Leadership that is mission critical requires that you lead well in all directions: up, across, down, and inward.
Mission-Critical Leadership is the book for you if you have ever:
- Felt stuck in your job
- Been frustrated with your boss
- Experienced a lack of cooperation from peers at your same leadership level
- Wondered why the team you supervise fails to perform to your expectations
This guide will show you how to build influence and relationships that deliver impactful results. With these strategies your organization will have more engaged employees, better talent retention, and a plan for developing the next generation of leaders. When the stakes are high, smart leaders focus on what’s mission critical to cut through the clutter, clear away distractions, and ensure their teams are devoted to what’s truly essential.
