Leadership: Finding Your Sweet SpotWhat does it take to move from being a good leader to a Great Leader In sports, the "sweet spot" refers to the area on a racket or club that makes the most effective contact with the ball. Your "leadership sweet spot" is when your actions have the most positive impact. You do precisely what is needed to produce the best results. Some leaders operate at the extremes--doing too much, then too little. They centralize, then they decentralize, only to centralize again. Some leaders delegate, but then swoop back in and grab control. Too much coaching can be as bad as too little coaching Too much direction can be humiliating and demotivating, while too little direction creates confusion.Finding your leadership sweet spot in each situation is challenging. Needs vary, and individual skills and experience are different from task to task. Motivation can change from day to day, and what one person sees as a challenge, another sees as a walk in the park.The best leaders learn to diagnose each unique set of circumstances and determine exactly what's needed to improve the situation.When you find your leadership sweet spot, the outcome is awe-inspiring It's a WOW People say things like, "Your guidance was perfect," "You nailed it," and "You did exactly what needed to be done." The aim of this book is to help you (coach, consultant, executive, middle-manager, mentor, parent, supervisor, teacher, and team-leader) find your leadership sweet spot in each situation.
