THE 5 SPHERES OF LEADERSHIP
Each sphere describes an essential component of leadership. Your key relationships are usually based on capabilities within one or two of these spheres. By delving into the skills and knowledge encompassed by each of these spheres, you can strengthen all of your relationships, and dramatically improve your effectiveness.
Research indicates that about half of all managers and supervisors are failing. In today’s workplace of empowered knowledge workers and teams, the old-style top-down leadership just doesn’t cut it. The smartest, most motivated and hardest-working employees often leave. Those who stay often under perform.
The new, dynamic economy driven by technology, innovation, and creative relationships demands a new kind of leadership. Side by Side Leadership is a deeply researched and well constructed guide to the 5 fundamental spheres of leaderships including the specific skills that underlie each style.
Fortunately you don’t need to master all 5 leadership spheres to be successful, and your job probably depends on only a few spheres. Dr. Dennis Romig takes you through the underlying principles and helps you determine where you're strong, where you need improvement, pointing out specifically what you can do to make a difference today.
