Book Review - Mission-Critical Leadership: How Smart Managers Lead Well in All Directions

About the Book
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.

My Take on the Book
I am always looking for books that have practical advice, especially when it comes to being a better leader. This book provides you just that! The book examines what the author calls the four aspects of leadership: leading yourself, leading up, leading across, and leading down. In the book the author has broken the concepts into three parts and how you can set up a plan to incorporate the four steps of leadership into your own life. As you read through this book you can tell that the author really knows his stuff and he is very generous in the information that he provides! This is a great book for everyone that wants to be a stronger leader!
