The Transformer in You

Lawrence Powell | 2016

Abstract

Leadership may involve many things, but it is primarily about influence. The power of influence is the standard of leadership in leading others toward achieving shared goals and turning visions into living realities. Leaders are not lone soldiers. They function in partnership with followers to make change happen. In the absence of capable followers, leaders are ineffective and destined to fail in their attempts to realize transformation. Today’s societal issues are complex and many. Even so, there is really nothing new under the sun. Since the rise of humanity history’s pages reveal that there has always been scores of problems to solve, hurdles to overcome and crises to manage. Repeatedly without exception, extraordinary men and women have risen to the occasion as leaders and faced each dilemma head on to initiate and implement significant change with favorable outcomes. Change is an inevitable part of life. Things change every day and all the time. Change may be welcomed or it may be resisted, but change will always occur in life and business. Exceptional leaders understand this well. These individuals are notably proactive rather than reactive. They anticipate change and respond accordingly leading the way to creating a preferred future. Inside every leader is the potential to conceive and create positive change. Often this capacity is overt, common among certain leaders and in constant display. However, sometimes its covert and simply needs to be stirred a bit to get the leader’s creative juices flowing. Whatever the case, there’s always room for improvement in every leader regardless of competence and experience. This manuscript is about the power of leadership to affect change in society, organizations and groups of every kind. It presents practical and critical insights for leaders who earnestly desire to improve their leadership skills and capacity. Some argue that individuals are born leaders. Others contend leaders are developed. Actually, it is correct to say prospective leaders are “born to be made” leaders. Hence, with this view in mind, this book is fundamentally about leader and leadership transformation.
